Yup mine shows the same. I really cant complain about this driver. It almost feels perfect, but I use that term loosely
It's still interesting that we see VisionTek, of all things, featured prominently on a preview driver. I don't think anything like this has happened before, and it raises all sorts of consequent questions as to why it's there. Are ATI/AMD using VisionTek drivers/code somewhere in their official compiles? Are VisionTek 1st party optimizers of ATI/AMD code? Are Catalysts some sort of cross-engineered product?
Fun theories abounds!
There is something strange with MLAA performance boost. Yes it faster than 11.6 but for only first 10 minutes. When i start playing Borderlands i'm getting 67-75 fps, after ~10 min only 52-59. Anyone else getting this?
I've replied to you already DZZRtt @
this link. If you're still interested at all in finding out what your Borderlands problem is, I'm impatiently awaiting a reply. The window is closing.
i’m using 11.5 .i don't like always change ccc with my 5770 .because i just listen to music and play DX9 games.
Welcome to the forums, and if you're interested to know, preview drivers are usually released in the first place because they're so good at what they do, they can be used as a marketing tool to the community.
Your actual Catalyst Control Center won't change one bit by installing the preview drivers, and despite old wives tales, there's no danger or difficulties whatsoever to installing right over your current driver. You'll probably get hidden intrinsic performance increases to your DX9 games as well.
Setting AA to super sampling causes flicker to happen more, servers with the newer maps and longer tickets also have this problem. Get away from those three things and it solves most of the shadow and black screen flicker.
On X58 boards, upping your IOHv can help too and also solves game freezing/lockup problems. BC2 hammers the IOH so any uncore overclocking will show problems really quick.
I've also encountered the flickering issues with my Crossfired 5850s (I guess I'm just not as lucky as FreedomEclipse
) and I've never set AA to Super Sampling as I don't suspect the performance hit to be worth it. In fact, my current CCC "AA Mode" setting is Multi-sample AA, even though my "Smoothvision HD: Anti-Aliasing" is set to Use Application Settings.
I'm more interested in your IOHv tip, as I'm using X58 and have a Mild overclock that I'm considering changing to a Moderate overclock in the near future. Could you tell me what IOH voltage setting would be considered "helpful" so I can compare it to what I have currently set?
