Honestly, I don't know what causes the cursor corruption. I know that first I was dealing with the cursor getting really large, and then it was corrupting after they fixed the big cursor part...


I assume that it's from the monitor handing off hardware-accelerated cursor from DVI to DP..it's like either the differing interfaces aren't able to hand off the memory space for the cursor quickly enough, and the next interface then isn't able to read the cursor properly, or jsut staright incompatibility...

But I'm guessing...all that I do know is that it occurs more often in 2D than 3D, and that the problem is now listed in driver release notes, so maybe driver can fix it.

Of course they HAVE had a year to fix the problem, and haven't, but I think they might pull the "we weren't able to replicate the issue, so were unable to fix it" when confronted on this problem.

I am very tempted to keep a 5-series card just to see how long it takes them to fix it, if they can. But that seems a bit stupid...even though I think that's what might be needed for them to fix the problem...constant reminders.

I must admit that all the eyefinity and eyefinity with crossfire problems have made it easyer not to upgrade right away but it worrys me a little as i don't normally spend much on each pc upgrade (i'm a cheap bear :laugh:) but i will be paying over $1000 just for monitors this time and to be honest if i spend $1500+ on an upgrade i will just want it to work :laugh:

I really hope cayman/6xxx series in general works wih eyefinity better in both higher frame rates and lacking problems but i know just like everything there will be some issues i just wish amd could fix them faster, one of the biggest complaints from people about amd/ati is driver issues, it is the one area amd really needs to work harder.

It's probably not using different interfaces, it used to do it on my two monitor set up initially ( both dvi)

Like screen flickering it went away with higher idle voltages mind you.
