Catalyst 8.10 RC2

come on guys, you're not rookies, errors could be from the messy operating system to a m/b instability, everytime i had an error i checked what I did wrong, if the drivers were messy then they wouldn't work at any system.

 

I have 2 3870's , will the CCC fan control , control both of my cards?

 

I'm I alone to suffer from VERY BAD performance in COD4 with these drivers? I hope 8.10 final will be better. Running Vista x64.

 

8.10 betas are running fine for me. even thougn i hard-modded the hard, i can still up the fans speed through the ccc panel. I noticed much opengl improvement. Anyways, it all instlled fine for me. I use nasty file remover on vistax64 to pull left over files from cat uninstall. Cant wait for officials!!!:biggun::banana:

 

I can't because it's not happening on my rig. Smooth as glass here!

 

I've heard that before...a thousand times.

 

omg awesome ;O

 

What would you prefer, user ignorance?

 

Im old using pcs. I know how install a driver. New catalyst drivers are made to increase performance in new games (Crysis etc) and benchamarks like GPU Caps, bla, bla, bla. I have old pc Pentium IV 2.8 ht and a sapphire 3850 agp, 750w psu (crosair) 4 gb in ram and standard 150 gb 7200 rpms maxtor hard disck and the lastes intel bios (865gbf). However, 3850 doesnt work with older drivers, because it is a new video card, Yea crisis is playable, Half life runs fine too, but.. opengl games like RTCW (2001), MoHaa (2002), i red things about others issues in another games too (google it) those have crashes in single player mode and runs very slower in multiplayer mode. This means that the drivers are not good at all. I did post in amd/ati forums making a comparation between a Nvidia driver from 2006 and 8.10 betas (2008); first one has more 6 opengl extensions than ati, is this nice?. My old Video Card, msi 5700le nvidia can get easly 333 fps in those games and 3850 gets 16, 20 and harly 30 on them, unplayable. Then who comes here to say people dont know nothing about how install drivers dont know nothing about what the people are saying.
Im not a Nvidia fan boy, but i can think that catalyst dont have quality, they are unstable and have many bugs. Good drivers have to offer compatibilty with all games made to run in windows (xp32, sp3 all legal here), and off corse old games. Catalyst cant offer it rigth now. Is not?
8.10 doesnt fix anything here, and we always waiting for new driver release, i have still wating for 4 months and nothing, they always promess high performance,bugs fixed, opengl3.0 extensions, displacement mapping bug and bla, bla, bla, and nothing, I dont know how many driver i have fallen since june, and i dont know how many driver i will have to download in the future, im so tired with it. I invite all ati boys to join at amd/ati forums to red all complaints that people have about ati drivers.

I do not speak English but I hope forgive my typing errors.

 

I am having problem with Brothers in Arms - Hell's Highway.

when trying to launch the game it says

biahh.exe - Unable To Locate Component

This application has failed to start because nvcuda.dll was not found.
Re-installing the application may fix this problem.


anyone know what the problem is ? Physx only get installed using the /quiet command or it shows me Internal Error.

 

It's not finding nvidia's cuda API because that's what hardware accelerated physx on graphics cards uses. You need to wipe all settings for this game, so that it doesn't try and use hardware physx. Not a problem with drivers.

 

how do you to that?.....I am having the same problem!

 

I need to update my sig too....I now have a 4870!

 

I'm experiencing the same trouble (At least I think I do).
I'm using Stardocks Windows Blinds and Object dock on WinXP 32.
They tend to render transparent objects, which seems ok when there's just the desktop. But if they have to do so on something else (explorer, other prog) the perfromance is quite awkward.
That's since 8.9 including this 8.10 beta.

Maby that's a hint to someone out there.

 

So the WHQL ones come out tomorrow?

 

Nice blue screens when playing Hell's Highway :3eyes:

 

why do you suppose that whql ones will come out tomorrow?

 

Because that is their expected release date. They should be released today.
