AMD Catalyst 11.1 WHQL and 11.1a Hotfix Formally Announced

Hey guys.. nice to see everyone again!! I thought I would check out to see if there are any driver updates and ran across this thread, I think iam at 10.2 or close to it, Iam wondering if you can tell me if it will be a good idea for me to go to 11.1a?? Ive tried to do some reading but not one of my better days! but this will help me get my mind of things, please advice thanx people!!!

Since you have a 5870, Id suggest going with Cat 10.10e's their supposed to be the best set for 5xxx series cards

Is it me, or with this drivers, when watching a movie or something, the GPU usage goes to 99% and also the freqs go to full 3D speed?!? And I'm not using any hardware acc for playing movies, just the humble Media Player Classic...

No such issues here mate :/
 
Check again. It seems that this issue appears only if the MLAA function is activated in CCC. Strange.

MLAA is working on your videos then, lol.

No. Only on Windows Media Player (which I don't use). On Media Player Classic or VLC doesn't work. I can easily tell because of corrupted subtitles and stuff (WMP only...).

Besides on MPC I use Haaly Renderer not VRM9 or Overlay, so even if I make video graphics changes in CCC, doesn't show in MPC. Like I've said, only in Windows Media Player...

try EVR sync or something then.

just because you're not seeing a difference, doesnt mean its not TRYING to do it.
 
exactly! You also don't have the MLAA option I think....

Yes I do - I have posted this before..

The problem is NOT with the renders, the problem is that with the 10.10e and early drivers I didn't have the GPU usage and full 3D freq when I was watching movies or Youtube clips. ;) (with MLAA on, that is...)
