AMD Catalyst 11.8 Preview Driver (8.880.3 July 11)

So I see Photoshop still doesn't think the AMD card is a real OpenGL card. Which means the OpenGL driver is still poo? :\

 

I cant even get BC2 to load a map with these drivers.....as soon as I hit join...black screen (sound still plays..then QUIT TO DESKTOP.)

Was working fine before I installed these drivers.

 

What? No one is going to confirm if windowed MLAA can be forced?

 

anyone can confirm if the eyefinity / vsync checkerboard flickering bug is back?

 

Try this.
Go to My Documents/BFBC2
And delete GameSettings.bin
Try again.
It happened to me before, even on nvidia and worked like charm.
Also, if you don't use it, disable the HDMI adapter of the card. Even though, it shouldn't be the problem but still.

 

Did that..seems to be a hit and miss affair as to whether or not it will work....


BUT on another note!!!!

I just dont get it!!!!!

I uninstalled the drivers (as per ATI's instructions)...used driver cleaner in Safe mode....installed these new drivers...NOW YOU WOULD THINK that I would have to go into the settings and re-do them..NOPE...the old settings are still there from the previous install.

W...T....F?????

So to ATI "uninstall" does not mean "uninstall" it only means a partial uninstall??

Even overdrive is still unlocked...sigh I just want a frsh install without having to re-install my entire OS!!!!

 

Yea the same has been happening to me for a long time now, only way to do it is use AMD Catalyst TwL Cleaner v3.9.0, its a right pain in the ass

 

I'm not familiar with the name but I did have flickering with 11.8. Went back to 11.7, no flickering.

 

With your setup, you should try SSAA (4x) rather than MLAA. Best AA that exists, absolutely jaggy-free.

I runs very smooth in 1080p for me, maxed out. It does in all Valve products.

 

any mobility users have brightness controls with these?

 

11.8 give me much better CF scaling in Crysis 2, but the actual display scaling has a black border around the game, setting my scaling options up correctly in CCC repairs the border on the desktop, but not on the game

Using HDMI - I bet switching back to DVI fixes it

Come on AMD, your not in play school anymore, your meant to be professionals, stop giving us half working crap

 

Battlefield 3 Alpha has less ingame glitches with these drivers. 11.7 had terrible tree flickering but its gone with these.

 

Do you have brightness issue?

 

11.8 preview (+11.6 cap 3) fixed this bug for me.
Had this problem with 11.6 WHQL, havent tested 11.7 WHQL.

(Assuming that you are referring to the image corruption which showed up when using dx10/11 + vsync + crossfire + eyefinity)

 

Vista 64?? I guess I'll just have to wait for the vista hotfix, can't wait to try these though

 

Lol im getting worse performance in Crysis 2... It was silky smooth before now frames are cut in half and microstuttering... Im gonna try the whql 11.7's now

 

I just played crysis 2 and black ops. Both seemed really smooth. I am going to try tf and some others as well..maybe even this little game brink i bought lol

 

look what the ogl xml has, rage.exe & rage64.exe

also, the dx9 dll has warhammer space marine, & what i hope is a CF profile for section8 prejudice that is as fast as the dark void profile

 

It's probably setting your refresh rate to 24hz... which is a different resolution and therefore needs to be rescaled

It's a bug in the game...

 

Another quirk with Morphological AA

Alt tabbing out of Fullscreen TF2 or L4D games to desktop and back into game, causes the framerate to plumet to like 1/10th its normal rates, and won't fix itself until you close and reopen the game
