AMD Catalyst 11.10 Preview2 [BF3 & RAGE Driver] (8.901.2 October 6)

Internet is full of Nvidia trolls, so many people saying crash on this , doesn't work with that ...

ATi never had driver problem he always had TWIMTBP .

I tested games i play a long time , such as NFS U1 (dx8), Borderlands (dx9), dirt3(dx9), ePSXe emulator (ogl) , PCSx2 (dx10)...any some more games all working normal.

 

Mate you should pay more attention to what other people say before replying to them:

Do you see what the problem is here...?

 

still getting tearing

 

Use D3DOverride from RivaTuner. It was mentioned at the beginning of this thread.

 

You did disable Triple Buffering didn't you? I can't remember

That crashes the game on startup

 

Well it cured my NPC artifacting and corruption but not that nasty freeze up where my 3rd core is getting nailed at 100%
I have tried it with and without the vt_maxPPF and that makes no diff at all and I am just running a very basic config(The suggested NV one to get the 8k textures)
But still getting the same nasty freeze ups...

I know of course this is because of the fact ATI cards can't do the transcoding because id chose to use CUDA instead of an open API like OpenCL or Direct Compute but this has GOT to have a solution....

 

After trying the 11.10 preview I'm not too exciting about other previews. I found the 11.8 preview still does the best job for my card, albeit an older card.
Still, I read nothing but troubles with these experimental drivers. Newer is definitely not better in this case.
Soon I will be upgrading my card, and see which driver does best. As for xfire, there still are so many problems for those users, and that's sad.

As for the person saying to bin the pc, or just sell it, that's not valid either. It's just that the latest dx11 games give problems, and i'm not sure that's because of the pc in general.
I'm thinking dx9 gave little to zero problems and now it's problems all over the place.

Anyway, these new dx11 games seem to tax cards from before 6000 series.

 

I haven't been messing with the RAGE drivers, I just left 11.9 installed and put the dll and xml in the game dir

I know AMD and their "beta" drivers

 

This driver is the same drivers as before, just packed together (BF3 + Rage). Same 100% CPU usage 0 FPS in Rage with Catalyst A.I. on. Same 60 FPS at 1920x1200 but with borked textures with Catalyst A.I. off. This while I have a friend with E8200 and 4830 who plays the game with no issues whatsoever.

 

Yeah, all they've done is, put the BF3 11.10 Preview driver, and the Rage driver together, so they are not seperate now.

 

And it took 2 days to ctrl+c / ctrl+v this.

 

with this driver no crash when loading new area no more bug work perfect
i foreced VSYN and triple buffering in CCC and used this in my "rageconfig.cfg"

vt_pageimagesizeuniquediffuseonly2 8192
vt_pageimagesizeuniquediffuseonly 8192
vt_pageimagesizeunique 8192
vt_pageimagesizevmtr 8192
vt_restart
vt_maxaniso 4
image_anisotropy 4
vt_maxPPF "32"

 

Got my freeze ups solved. Just running the no intro in my launch and this as my config

vt_pageimagesizeuniquediffuseonly2 8192
vt_pageimagesizeuniquediffuseonly 8192
vt_pageimagesizeunique 8192
vt_pageimagesizevmtr 8192
vt_maxaniso 4
image_anisotropy 4
seta m_smooth 1
seta jobs_numthreads 4
vt_maxPPF 16
vt_restart

Have nothing but the odd stutter but not that nasty 10-15 sec. freeze.

 

They fixed the NPC flickering, but i still have problems with enemies flickering :/

 

using this should I still put the dll into Rage folder?

 

This driver stops responding on windows login and then restores and works ok... Anyone else getting this?

 

If installed properly then no.

 

I got all textures messed up! They are overlapped! what the ...

Which solution could I try??

 

Hi rightno matter what i couldnt get this to work...but now im playing this with no fixes or tweaks perfectly!!!

All i had to do was go out and buy a i3 cpu n mobo bundle with 4gb ddr3 and i kept my radeon5870 and wow what a game...seems the e8400 ati ds4 mobo set i had wont play it...its absolutely perfect now.off to play.

 

Drivers fault, engine could probably run on a single core. (Which it technically did first time it was shown)
