New Ati 4850 problems in Win7

[weaselciuy]

Hello to all,

I`m new to Win7 and this forum, ofcourse but tis good to see i have a place where to ask for help and maybe even fix something.
Before i upgraded to a Ati 4850 i had a nvidia 9600GT that worked fine...in Vista. When i got the 4850 i did a clean install of Windows 7 build 7100 RC .
I installed all the new drivers for mobo, audio, graphics etc...defraged, installed antivirus and my ussual programs and games. All ok ...
...ultill i played my first movie in VLC, its very pixelated. Other players work fine, just VLC is pixelated, i looked around its settings but nothing helped.

Another problem i discovered and its big, I cant use 75hertz on my monitor.
If i use 75 i get flickering red dots all over my screen, in my desktop or in games. Its very annoying since most games come with standard 75hz i have to manually adjust them in regedit to use 60. 60 works great. Before the 4850 upgrade i could use 75 with my nvidia card.

Another problem i cant explain is somewhat bad performance for my video card. Ofcourse ATI drivers for win7 now are bad but still i get same performance i got with my 9600GT. Around 9500 points in 3DMard06. Same score i was geting with the 9600GT. Still posibly my CPU is draging me down...but still thats to much draging down ...

Hopefully the new 9.5 Catalyst drivers will solve some issues but in case they dont , what will i do ...

Any advice or help, maybe you seen these problems before, i dunno ... plz tell me

ty

Well, I am not sure to help ... but, try this forum post : AMD Game Forums - 4850 / Windows 7 /after installing 9.4 Lost 75hz Refresh

I think it is a driver problem at all ...

Well can't help on the refresh issue, but I can reccomend Smplayer inplace of VLC. I watch all my avi's divx etc on it - without issues. Comes with all the codecs I've ever needed.

SMPlayer - Downloads

Maybe give it a go unless you really need VLC, for streaming or somthing. (Though I could never get streaming to work with VLC or anything else for that matter)

I have the 4850 and have the exact problem with VLC. I also have over heating issues with the card in Windows 7 that I did not happen in Vista.

Hi shanghei. What program do you use, to cool your card.?

I use the Catalyst control center. I leave it automatic control which always worked in windows vista without problems.

9.5 are out, maybe they will fix your issues. Goodluck.

Ty , i`ll surelly give it a read. About the VLC issue, i replaced it with WMP Classic Homecinema, heard it plays best 1080i formats.

Luckly i dont have a cooling problem cause of the his iceQ4, it really stays cool and GPU fan always at 2% cause of the heatpipes. Sux the drivers are infantile.

Yes i was downloading before i gor email notification from then i read. Tyvm anyway
