Catalyst 10.x BETA (8.74 April 6/10) Win All

Mine idle clocks with this driver (10.x) are 157/300 :

 

same here, did a clean install and now the idle is back at 157/300. havent tried any games yet but will update on how it goes.. for rest system seemed stable and maybe somewhat better and smoother with flash videos (with hardware acceleration enabled)

edit: its a negative on getting back to 157/300 at idle .. it seems this only works when you keep your card at stock speed. any overclocking will cause it to stay at higher speeds.. which isnt a bad thing either.

 

Well i just disable overdrive(unticked) and it stays on 157/300. I can even OC.

 

i ran vantage with these and seem i lost about little less then 100 points in the gpu score but my overall vantage score increased. sorry bout split screen thing but it does that everytime.

 

Ok thats what i wanted to know ty ill try those

 

bc2 maps are loading in less than 10 seconds...FINALLY!

 

yes.. improvement in map loading time in bfbc2 is drastic on my setup :banana:

 

I am finding these to be a good set they perform a touch better than 10.3b not by much but are more stable and optimized in all my benches than the last leaked set. I really hope these are the 10.4WHQL's as the extra video enhancements are rather good. No problems with these at all clocks are correct in idle and can OC without any problems.

rflair thanks again.

Fix for the 4800 series BFBC2 loading is also coming (hopefully) next week.

 

Waiting for those then ^^

 

Partial Fix for those getting higher then normal 2D clock frequency

I only replaced 2 files from this beta. Read below for details. Idle temps are normal again and still have 157/300 for 2D.

I performed a little experiment. I already reverted back to Cat 10.3b but wanted to see if I could use 2 files from this beta to see if my load time would still decrease. Here is what I did:
-went to c:\windows\system32
-made copies of atidxx32.dll and atiumdag.dll then deleted the original files.
-went to 8.74\Packages\Drivers\Display\(pick either w7_inf, w76A_inf, xp_inf or xp6A_inf according to your OS)\B_98259\
-expanded atidxx32.dl_ and atiumdag.dl_ to atidxx32.dll and atiumdag.dll (4-6-2010)
-place them into C:\windows\system32
-logged out and back in to desktop

Then I played BC2 and noticed the following load times:
-Entering server for the 1st time took 7 seconds
-The next 2-3 maps afterwards loaded in about 4 seconds

For 64 bit users I suggest making backups, removing, replacing and expanding atidxx32.dll, atiumdag.dll, atidxx64.dll and atiumdag64.dll according to what's already found in that subdirectory of windows.

 

They're out now.

Only the 4800 series? :-/

 

Anyone got a decent speed d/l for these drivers? None of the faster ones are working

(google docs showing 403 forbidden error, and hotfiles giving less than 20kbs)

 

Hmm I downloaded and nothing special, the same score in Vantage, Crysis a littble bit smoother.

 

IM using eyefinity with 5770 x3 and this game is no longer crashing on me with this driver

 

Heaven 2.0 shows the same corruption at the same place every time, its done it with the 10.3, 10.3 performance, 10.4 preview, 10.4 unofficall, 10.4 beta, and 10.4 OpenGL and now these drivers

Same spot every time, doesn't matter if its stock or overclocks

Chalking it up to heaven 2.0 error for that part then, but it definitely is running a ton faster!

 

ati tray tools.... save desktop icons..... easy

 

THIS THING ROCKS BC2!

SHOWS 10.2 AFTER PERFECTLY CLEAN INSTALL

1. Zero Crash to desktop
2. Zero Freeze screen
3. Zero horizontal lines
4. Zero flickering
5. FPS always above 80
6. LOAD TIME WENT FROM 30 SEC TO 4 SEC [HOLY SNIKIES!!!)

EXPRESS INSTALLED THIS AND NO EXTRA PROFILES NEEDED

PERFECT DRIVER FOR BC2
