catalyst 11.6 released

[Qbah]

Installed and it's working great. Had to reboot for fan control to work again in Afterburner on my Vapor-X HD5850 (no biggie).

so if we don't have a 6XXX card, there's no point upgrading anymore correct?

People arent serously updating their graphics drivers 12 times a year...are they?

I expect that upgrade pattern to make more of a mess than fix stuff really.

Im still rocking the same drivers as the card came with. When i see a glitch or an error or the very seldom black/blue screen, i just ignore it. Its likely to not happen again as i dont do "repeat the exact same movement/jump/whatever in your game"?

I update every month ie every official release,does not take long and never had any issues installing over the top on Win7 x64.

its funny i do now but i never used to

i ran the same drivers on my GTX 285 for almost 2 years, now i do it ever month or every other month

 

[Aikouka]

I usually upgrade all three PCs each time. Although sometimes the other PCs may skip a month or two... usually because of laziness .

Some people do. Myself, I'm mostly in the "if it isn't broken, don't fix it" mindset.

I'm running 10.8 I think, the last driver release that had significant performance increases for the 5K series cards.

I only do if I remember. I never seem to notice any difference between releases. AMD now has a monthly check thing in the new drivers that tells you a new release is out.

Its about bug fixes too,one of reasons why I always update since I never know what game I will be buying next.

 

[Dark Shroud]

I upgrade when I notice the new drivers are out. Also AMD users who use Stream will be getting updates on a regular basis as well.

It would be foolish not to considering the performance optimizations that come out on pretty much any title you'll ever play.

 

[Red Hawk]

As of the past few releases, they've only done optimizations for 6000 series cards.

[*]Mouse cursor corruption (in the upper right portion of the screen) should be resolved

Holy balls it actually worked. I tested all areas of my desktop and couldn't find any cursor lag anywhere. :awe:

I am running the 11.5b, last I ran was 11.3, I also don't update all the time.

The performance optimizations THEY claim. I take those with a grain of salt.

I am not sure if this is new to 11.6 but I did not notice it in the past. There is an "Apply current video quality settings to Internet video" and it makes flash contents look much better. I confirmed it in IE9 and Opera 11.11. The default video settings look real good as well.

I have this using the 11.5b drivers.

How can you tell? Anyone have a comparison screen?

Are you serious? I've tossed the driver CD for every video card I've ever bought.

 

[Dark Shroud]

I don't toss the CDs, I just leave them in the box unopened. Latest drivers from the website always.

That's...backwards...why use new drivers with an older card and old drivers with a newer card?

You can toggle on/off while a clip is playing and the effect shows on the fly. You can't miss it.

 

[MustangSVT]

should be interesting. only problem I have is with shift 2 freezing. everything else runs fine.

 

[DarkKnightDude]

BC2 performance is back up to 10.5 levels. I'm happy.
