Wait for the hotfix LOL

Hotfix is already available at the same time.

Good grief. Maybe I should wait for the hotfix to the hotfix

Anyway I guess it's time to upgrade to these since I skipped the last official version. It'll give me something to compare when I flash my 6950 to a 6970 later this week

you've put up version 11.6 - do you know something we don't..??

This is getting ridiculous. Nvidia fan boys are often drooling for an update and AMD fan boys are getting glutenous from all the updates.

This "AMD" fanboy thinks there are way too many releases. WHQL, Hotfix, then hotfix to the hotfix, then Beta Preview. Talk about driver overload :shock:

 

[Airbot]

Used to be reversed roles before. Nvidia would give steady updates out, and AMD/ATI seemed a little slower in pushing them out. Now Nvidia takes years to get any updates out, and AMD gives out more than one a month.

 

[sygnus21]

Yeah I remember the days when we ATI users would be crying up a storm for drivers. Now it seems we're getting flooded with them. The good on this is that it'll probably benefit those with lots of Crossfire issues.

Not only that, but apparently the hotfix fixes issues with Brink. I didn't know you needed a fix Shawn, or that your name was trademarked.

Includes performance optimizations and resolves various quality issues for the upcoming release of Brink™

:roflmao:

Yeah, I've been having some lagging and performance issues (ex: 11.6 typo) with myself lately and needed to have that corrected. Luckily they were able to get me patched right up with that update. The upload was a bit awkward though.

 

[Airbot]

The upload was a bit awkward though.

I bet. Hopefully that fixes up those "quality" issues.

LOL, we shall see.

It's a bit ridiculous.

Pick a driver, any driver.

It's like this now:


Hotfix A has older WHQL 3D driver, but newer 2D, older everything else (only benefits old series)

Hotfix B Has the same WHQL 3D and 2D driver, but has a newer OpenCL

Hotfix C Has same 3D, 2D , new OpenGL but older blah blah (benefits new series only)

Preview A drivers have newer 3D driver but older mismatches of everything else

Preview B slightly older 3D, newer everything else (benefits crossfire)

WHQL - all of it's old.

+

CAP profiles aplenty


And not a single version that works well universally.

 

[sygnus21]

LOL. That about sums it up

BTW spyre doesn't seem impressed :shock:

The mouse lag issue was discussed a few drivers back and was supposed to be fixed. Looks like it back??? I've never had the issue myself though.

 

[stormy13]

Don't have the issue, or don't play any of the games that it shows up in?

I never experienced the issue at all, games or otherwise. This of course pertains to older drivers with the issue. Haven't tried any of the new drivers just released.

I'm still using the old (original) 11.4 preview drivers

heh heh, he does seem a little annoyed

I noticed it in a few driver versions I tested, but I never kept the driver versions long enough for it to become an issue.

It was noticeable when closing fullscreen windows, you could see the cursor bog down - RTS games where top right screen scrolling was used made it a big deal for some.

AMD bug re-introduction strikes yet again

The two CAT teams really need to talk to each other a bit more.

When team 1 says 'we fixed something' , team 2 should go 'cool, we'll incorporate that fix into our sets'.

Crysis2 v1.4 runs choppy - flickering..

Hmmm..... I'm a little skeptical now about updating now

We'll see what happens later.

 

[smarteyeball]

Worse case scenario is that you just have to revert to an older driver.
