    what if you switch windowed & fullscreen, so the game reloads the renderer?

    all source engine games are so incredibly buggy when alt tabbing...

    Hi all...

    Going to install 11.8 drivers before that, does anyone knw where to delete "Saturation Settings in Registry" bcoz everytime i install a new driver the saturation settings won't reset , it will load the settings last time i used, even i cleaned with "Drive Sweeper and Ccleaner, so is there anyway to manually delete the ATI Saturation Registry keys.......

    You might want to check this, cough cough..

    I have 4GB of physical Memory running fine with the above modified Kernel in Windows 7 32-bit, checked for stability with a few RAM benchmarks and even Sysinternal tools to fill in garbage values unto 4093 MB limit (I made sure to only check Physical RAM limit, not virtual_aka_win memory or even page file)

    It works perfectly, anyone who claim's it doesn't..I will personally :whip:.

    With /3GB limit, ah damn..I can say switching between Witcher 2 and desktops is super fast. (as Witcher 2 easily uses RAM more than 2GB_without the 2GB application limit and with 1 full GB to spare_after_3GB_app_limit for Windows Kernal_and_other_dependencies)

    What the.....

    FACEPALM

    Previously they had PERMANENTLY broken AA in Window Mode for DirectX 8 applications, now this....

    I hope this isn't the case in WHQL drivers, with respect to MLAA not working in Window mode.

    yes, please punish me! :D
    i will be switching to win7 x64, when vista mainstream support ends.. until then i'm using the additional RAM as a ramdisk.

    Has anyone tried these on the BF3 PreAlpha? I'm running tri and getting about 50fps and stutter. Of course... it's a rough build of the game, but just wondering as I hoped on the alpha for the first time with 11.8. Haven't tried an early vers. I'll do so. However, if anyone with a similar build has a driver suggestion that'd be great.

    Thanks as always!

    Have these install right now and i left my CCC at default settings, but enable " MLAA " still get that weird text and seamonkey text and is blurry, but games are running smooth and looks great. I only tested APB reloaded at max, and it runs just fine.

    Ive got some white pixels around the screen at desktop with this driver (HDMI use). Crysis 2 performance droped here terribly to (but only when Catalyst Control Center is "on" in background, when off theres no prob~weird). Firefox browser working very clumsy and non smooth with this preview release. Back to 11.7 stable driver, clean install, working fine, no probs. Thanks for a links as always man :)

    Hmm interesting, is there a fix ?

    Thanks for letting me know I`ll have a look at that, it used to do it on Crysis 1 but 11.6 fixed it

    the vlc stuff is probably cuz the preview driver is on a different branch than 11.7, & there should be a good chance that it will fix in 11.8 whql

    but just in case, make sure catcreator knows

    3D CLOCK BUG HAS RETURNED

    2x 6950 Crossfire @6970+


    Amd/ATI, your Fkin Useless.
    this bug appeared right after bootup aswell..... Ahhh NVIDIA for me next gen.

    EDIT: update : panic attack lol, seems the bug vanished once i played a game and went back to desktop then the 2nd GPU 3d clock droped to 2d clocks.
    still stupid bug shouldn't have been there in the first place.

    Having ALT-TAB issues with Dawn of War II: Retribution with this. When going back to the game it often just gives me a black screen. Clicking in the screen does respond as I can see myself walking around on my friends computer (Last Stand).

    Did not have this issue at all with the 11.7 "preview".
    As far as I am aware, my settings are not different than I had with the 11.7 previews.

    Uninstalled 11.7 preview via control panel, rebooted, rebooted to safe mode and uninstalled card via computer management incl removal of drivers, rebooted and installed drivers (11.8 preview). Guess tonight I will try the 11.7 WHQL drivers.

    Sometimes however it does work, but I have to ALT-TAB several times to get it working which really is not handy in a non-pausable multiplayer...

    Looking back at my own comment and others, the drivers are preview drivers..

    Don't know why people are jumping to suffocate ATI/AMD on non-official stable drivers.. :infinity:

    It's a preview driver so why are you all bitching as if someone forced you to install it? Sneezus!

    Are there release notes for these?! Does it have these same issues as 11.7 WHQL:

    I'm not complaining, well aware of them being previews, but just checking if others are having the same issues. Also making people aware of issue that is found. :)

    No clock issues here, both cards at 250/150 on iddle.

    These drivers work great for me.
