ATI Catalyst 9.2 XP|Vista Driver Discussion

hi people does dual screen mode with with CF

 

2 x 4870

Hi
How are those drives when it come to FPS with 2 GPU like I have? I mean not a one 4870x2, but two 4870 in a crossfire

And
Will there be a DNA one for those? and when?

 

Does anyone play bioshock? if so does it crash?

 

her si some more benchies

MAX 63
AVG 26.52
MIN 3
Crysis warhead DX10 patch 1.1(hotfix)
ingame enthusiat/gamer and 8xaa+adaptiveaa in CCC

good or bad?
Vista Ultimate64
hd4870 512 no OC
Q9450 no OC 4gb ram

i can´t remeber 9.1 but i guess it is similiar

 

Is it worth installing this over my 8.12 setup ,I used to get atiumdag.dll errors in GTA4 after an hour of play or less ,also Far Cry crashed to desktop and it felt unstable overall ,wondering whether this is improvement or roll on 9.3?

 

Fine drivers so far. Civ 4: BTS was intermittently crashing to desktop. Didn't do so last night but had a blue screen after two hours or so. Rebooted and relaunched, blue screen within minutes.

Looked at GPU temps after reloading OS: they were still in upper seventies!

I had turned down the fan on my Sapphire card for watching shows earlier in the week! Dialled that baby up to 65% and the rest of my BTS sessions were uninterrupted.

So I figure drivers are fine so far!

Will be giving Prince of Persia and Warhammer a try in next weeks so we'll see how they handle those titles!

 

Yup same here! This is sooooooo annoying COME ON ATI FFS ARRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH:bang::bang::bang::bang:

 

Mod your bios. It's the best possible way since rivatuner tends to forget to load the fan profile, so you have to keep checking to make sure it's working. Plus modding the bios fan controller is reliable, easy, and doesn't have to rely on crappy software.

 

Yep,

Same bug back again wtf ATI is doing... making us more pissed off just trying to achieve higher fps. First they should fix basic issues like this second core... I am full of Ati´s amazing driver release. Nice vcard, but drivers not so...

Well maybe its your Processor that bottlenecks your card a little.
Its not a bad result.
