ATI Catalyst 10.1 Driver Suite Released

Steevo · Feb 1, 2010

Powerplay issues still exist for me dealing with WMC on the TV and me surfing the net, the brown screen of death, and all I can do to fix it is lock the card at 500/993 while both displays are active.

With this install and a clean install of Adobe beta for flash I no longer get dropped frames on hulu fullscreen. Adn GPU use is up to 16% at 500 on the core.

I just wish they would get their crap together for quality conversions of MTS and other high def formats, and more video workwith on GPU acceleration of rendering effects into these. It kills me to have to wait a hour for a simple two effect and conversion of a 15 minute clip.

And the powerplay issues. mebey when i decide to get a green card instead of a red one ( if they are ever more than vapor) ATI will get smart. But untill then they have little reason to fix anything.

Virtual folks can get all worked up over nothing.

See that's the problem, ATI also thinks all their customers and their complains are virtual and not real and of no consequence, but actually I'm a real freaking person who is getting mad frustrated at the crappy song and dance of pain ATI puts me true for me just trying to be current and have OpenGL3.2 and OpenCL and directcompute and DXVA2 (as used by the flash plugin to accelerate HD), and those things are only available in recent drivers, and that's why I (try) to update drivers, not to get 0.01 more FPS in a game or benchmark.

But alright you recently got it, then it might work for a while, I think many ATI issues are with their installer leaving behind debilitating remnants actually, and yeah I tried various driver cleaners and by using 3 I actually managed to get to where I am now, but those errors in their release notes won't go away so 'easily' that way I fear.

And so many of the faults they mention in their release notes seem so unprofessional and also are there for many many many months without fixes, months in which they add all kinds of new experimental stuff that creates all new bugs, and reinstates old ones they had fixed, it all seems like it's poorly managed to me, and them having the wrong version numbers showing not once but many times just shows what I mean, after the first time the project leader should make sure it doesn't happen again, after it happens 5 times he should be sacked since obviously he can't do his job.

the driver may not play nice with OC's. i've seen that before.

It came back on me. But luckily I'm not the only one. Back to 9.12 till they fix this. Check this out......black screen issue.

I just must be a lucky SOB because I never have problems with ATI drivers. Except for my vantage score going up or down. Knock on wood .......

Honestly this is my first issue ever. 10.1 seemed rushed anyway.

2nd GPU not recognized with Driver 10.1

I have two HD5870s. After installing 10.1, the second 5870 is not recognized by Win 7 or CCC. Uninstalled 10.1, reinstalled 9.12 and the second 5870 reappears. Update to 10.1 to see if the problem repeats, and the second 5870 disappears.

I'm happy enough with 9.12 or 9.12 Hotfix for now.

Actually I take my previous statements back!!!! I did have problems with the 10.1 drivers for the first time ever with an ATI driver set.

I was getting BSOD once and a while when trying to boot into Windows 7.

Went back to 9.12 hotfix...... problem gone!

Well I take back what I have said before...... these drivers are a little shaky!

The hot fix sucks too. Go back to 9.12 completely man. You'll have better luck.

CC I'll give it a try..... I haven't had any problems with the Hotfix 9.12 CCC but I am always willing to try different Drivers when I can.

Thanks I'll give it a try.

wow, maube because I'm using 4850s, but I haven't had any problmes even with the 10.1s

miloshs · Feb 11, 2010

wtf?

These things suck bad. I mean Windows 7 x64 built-in dirvers worked better!
As soon as i installed 10.1, i couldnt get my screen resolution to aboive 1400x1050... 24" Full HD screen, thrtough a DVI cable... how freaking lame is that? And then a hotfix for the driver? Whats next hotfix for a hotfix of a hotfixed driver?!

Get your shit together ATI!

I normally would disagree with this comment because I have never had problems with ATI's drivers before. But that must tell me how bad these drivers are that even I am!

I think what ATI needs to relieve is ..... that it is more important to come out with drivers that are performing drivers as well as drivers that are stable...... instead of coming out with drivers every month just for the sake of coming out with drivers.

There is no reason to have all of these wonderful new features in their drivers if they don't work. I love ATI and this one problem is not enough to make me leave but...... come on ATI....make one good set of drivers with great features and if they come out only every 3 months we the customer will forgive you. Because we won't have to deal with this shit!

Just my opinion
