Nobody said they were completely absolved of any responsibility (though involvement is a better term) but the main general point is that these major issues are not even close to across the board so THERE IS NOTHING INHERENTLY WRONG WITH THE DRIVER ITSELF. NV drivers are no better or no worse in this way, as if that's even necessary to point out.

You are obviously not a programmer, software developer or even work in IT that's for sure.

And what would you know of this topic anyway as you don't even own an AMD card?

Yes I would agree here . but I think the thing is frustration more than any thing as it can be very frustrating to put drivers in to find out they have messed up things bad . be it the OS , The video card or games . I think we all tend to look at them as a one size fits all and when things do not measure up then we get mad and frustrated , Like I did with 11.1a drivers . but I do understand it is more than just drivers as it is the computer as a whole that makes it or breaks it . Stick with what works and risk when risk is worth it I say . I love the new drivers and risked it to gain in the end .

My stepmother has a 5770 in a HP 250f (or something like that) and I had a peculiar time with the drivers in this machine. She bought the machine summer 2010 and the drivers were loaded I presume by Windows 7 or HP. When I tried to update to newer drivers, direct from ATI, the machine crashed and I had to do a restore. Original was maybe v10.10. (never understood why driver update failed the first time)

I let it go for a while and later updated driver to 10.12. She complained that the monitor would not come on from hibernation mode and that she would have to turn the monitor off then on to make it work. 10.12 intalled OK.

I loaded 11.1 and ccc installed but not driver, I received an error report. Installed stand alone driver and it took.

Just loaded 11.2 and it installed first try. I deleted the file 11.1 from (folder, ATI) and also deleted the (folder, AMD with 10.12) from the C:/ directory.

So far so good. I have used Ccleaner to clean files but I have not had to (yet) do a complete uninstall of old drivers.

I understand why every time there is a new driver there is a new post, AND I AM GRATEFUL FOR IT.

Thank you to trickson and others.

Yes other than not working properly . . . "THERE IS NOTHING INHERENTLY WRONG WITH THE DRIVER ITSELF":nutkick: . .. yes I do own 3 AMD video cards (used to be 4, but I sold my 4870 x2) a 5770, and a 4350 and a laptop with a 5870m (which is a glorified 5770) it has it's own issues but I blame that on ASUS tweaking the drivers so that the only the ones from ASUS work. Also i find it interesting that you try to make the argument that I do not understand the problem, the reality is the computer will not work without drivers, I didn't make them, it's not my fault that with every new driver set they fix 2 things and break another.:slap:


Don't be butt hurt at me for the quality or the lack there of rather in AMD's drivers, and that I point that out, also like it or not AMD drivers carry a stigma and a legacy of at best problematic operation. :slap:

I also own several Nvidia cards, and they have some issues as well, but far less in my experience. Now not to say I haven't had trouble free operation with an AMD card, I owned a 9600xt from Sapphire it worked fine, yet my 9700XT was nothing but trouble with the exact same hardware setup.

Also LOLUMAD?::slap:

It would seem that with every new driver cometh new problems and the return of some old ones I've had ongoing probs with OpenGL crossfire and driver crashes but hey does that stop me from using ATI/AMD hmmm nope.... 10.10e fixed everything 11.1a was also good but 11.1whql had driver crashes 11.2 fixed it again and 11.3 will probably break openGL again MEH such is life

No problems here ever that I can't eventually fix through standard troubleshooting. AMD or NV, going back 12 years.

No I'm not mad I'm sick of dumb people misplacing blame especially when ATI/AMD gets such an unfair, uneven amount of it compared to the competition.

I'm really noticing the soft edges and better color.....Everything seems to stand out really well......I thought it was cause I was stoned.....Not sure if it was like this before 11.2 though...It's a lack of short term memory or something....anyone else notice this?

So far so good with this drivers, still bad MLAA for 5xxx users, but playable...

just upgraded my friends driver for his 5770 to these (11.2) and they seem to be really good. I like the look of the new Control Center too. I can confirm i do see the tesselation slider as well.

QQ ?

Perhaps if they would shock people and release a driver set that didn't break as many things as it fixed they wouldn't be getting this "misplaced blame" I mean poor AMD it's not their fault that their drivers don't work correctly .. . .. right ? I mean obviously when I upgrade my video card drivers and there are problems, I should totally call my motherboard manufacturer and complain at them, I would be "misplacing blame" to think it would be a problem with AMD's drivers.:nutkick:

This driver has resolved the font issue referred to in this thread and has worked flawlessly over the course of the last few days:

Problem with 5870: rig refuses to update beyond 1...

Following erocker's guide for installing new drivers ( How To: Reinstall Video Drivers (Quick Guide)), although without using driver sweeper, I encountered a problem upon finalising the process: the CCC installmanagerapp.exe refused to uninstall and kept showing up after each fresh attempt to clear the system of all previous ATI components. I began to investigate and at one stage thought I would have to reinstall the OS; however, somebody suggested using CCleaner on one of the sites I visited and, whilst I normally steer away from programs such as this, it seems to have done the trick.

The new CCC options mainly aimed at the 6xxx series are showing up.

I doubt that any subsequent driver releases will offer any significant improvements for the 5xxx, so until I buy a new rig, this will probably be my last driver update.

No you should properly troubleshoot your rig and the software problems it apparently has that are causing the drivers to freak out. :slap:

Does anyone know what the "disable AMD Crossfire power settings" does?

I was hoping that it disabled ULPS, but not so at least for me.

Also did I miss it somewhere or is there a fix for having MLAA enabled and not screw up the font in desktop windows (flash, Intel RST control panel, etc)?

hopefully no more second gpu stuck on 99% usage!

This. Anyone know if this has been solved yet(by these drivers or otherwise)?

EDIT: Nvrm, got it the second I started up a game. Come the fuck on AMD. I didn't buy a second 5850 just to not use the fucking thing because of this shit.

Nobody said they were completely absolved of any responsibility (though involvement is a better term) but the main general point is that these major issues are not even close to across the board so THERE IS NOTHING INHERENTLY WRONG WITH THE DRIVER ITSELF. NV drivers are no better or no worse in this way, as if that's even necessary to point out.

You are obviously not a programmer, software developer or even work in IT that's for sure.

And what would you know of this topic anyway as you don't even own an AMD card?

yeah usually drive problems are USER errors rather then the programmers themselves. however, my neighbor works at Microsoft and works in the Kernel of windows and also works out issues and analyzes drivers from all companies and have even said that ATI gives him an his team head aches all the time!

I think from what I gathered it more for ATI firepro cards could be wrong but but that's what I gatered from the help file or it's not for 5xxx cards but 6xxx and higher... If your using Crossfire try editing your advanced power settings profile and disable the PCI express/ Link State Power Management (change it to Off)

as for the MLAA font blur I don't get it not with these drivers at any rate
