Thank you, hopefully it will fix my Oblivion problem (see my topic).

On another note I do find the lack of fixes and tiny game fix list a little strange. Why on earth would they bother releasing a driver that does so little? I don't know :butt:

 

Thx for the heads up, might aswell download them and keep up-to-date..

 

Downloading

 

x1950 XT owners will just have to try em and see if they support their cards yet, i couldn't find any mention of it anywhere.

Can confirm x1950 XT 256mb is supported.

 

I haven't noticed any change in these from the 6.11's. As long as they don't create a problem, I'm happy.

 

finally ATI go off there asses

 

MMC works with VIVO yet?

 

im going to stick with my 6.10s unless something major changes with the drivers.. Im getting good performance right now with all my games.

 

bug fixes

 

getting them now woow they ar smaller than the beta

 

So all the 1950's are supported now?

 

Yes.

 

Lol screen go to stand by afer install and restart with catalyst 6.7-6-12. I have x1900gt

 

Anyone here got a X1950XTX and see if it works?

Also has anyone seen any performance increases? Because when I went from the 6.10's to 6.11's I saw a 3k performance decrease in 3dmarks and about 20-30 fps drop.

Thanks

 

heads up

there has to be a problem with the install for you to loose 3000 in 3dmark, and 20-30 fps.....

ive not seen anywhere on any forums showing a loss of that nature in any cat driver.....

you can almost always see a differance of a few points and fps even when using the same drivers and running the same tests, but that kinda loss indicates a problem with something other than the driver.

 

Put it this way, I installed those drivers, that what happened, I went back to 6.10 cats and everything was fine again

 

anyone tried the driver on a sapphire x1900XT 256mb??..if yes, how the card performes with this new release?

 

It works fine with 2 X1900gts CF mode.

 

Even though it's a minor fix, they fixed that very annoying issue with PowerDVD playing my DVD's back jerky. I actually like watching DVD's on my PC.. cause I don't have enuf $$ to buy a really nice LCD Flat or Plasma (yet).

No problem as of yet that I can tell, everything seems as stable as it was with the 6.11.
