[Bateluer]

anybody have any info on when the new catalyst for this month will be released? and please, no when it is done replies!!!

Some time within the next 7 days, on or before 31 January.

 

[waffleironhead]

When it's done....err...before the end of the month...err...I have no idea.

The Catalyst maker said this week. He also said 10.2 and 10.3 will be especially good. I wonder what they will include.

If you believe some around here. 3D

10.1 today? ME - yes today - how did you know ;-) 40

 

[hclarkjr]

they are out

So far it's working fine on my 4870 system, but the driver does not work at all with my Radeon HD 4670 in Windows 7 x64.

�� Left 4 Dead 2 – Overall performance improves as much as 3% on ATI Radeon™
HD 5700 series products and ATI Radeon™ HD 5800 series products
�� Crysis – Performance improves as much as 3% on ATI Radeon™ HD 5700 series
products and as much as 4% on ATI Radeon™ HD 5800 series products

That's like within the margin of error... And no real fixes to anything, a logo missing here, a confirmation window there. And no changes to PowerPlay. My HD4350 will still run at max clocks with 2 screens... this is so absurd.

Looks like they didn't do anything.

 

[hclarkjr]

wonder why the delay if they did not add something new?

 

[v8envy]

Welcome to the Linux world! That's par for the course for us. Every month a new release with tiny tweaks and no fixes to well known near showstopper issues.

They're probably adding new things but they won't be ready until 10.2 and 10.3. The monthly release is scheduled, so whatever is ready goes.

Twice I tried to install these new drivers but it still says I have 9.11 (which I updated from) in the control center. Using a 5750. I did a complete reinstall of the old, rebooted, installed the new ones, rebooted again.

 

[Hey Zeus]

Installed.. Who knows if they're better

Mine says 9.12(which is what I updated from). My guess is they just forgot to edit that part of the driver update. This release does seem to lack the usual polish.

I'm skipping this set.

Mine says 9.7, but I wonder if that's related to the 780G IGP. The 2d, 3D, and OpenGL versions are all slightly higher than my 9.12 install on my 4870. Either way, ATI needs to scale back to quarterly updates.

Also, what packages does everyone install? They don't seem to be clearly labeled. The Video Card and Integrated/Mobo packages are indentical. The "Full Suite" doesn't include the southbridge, ahci, or raid drivers, etc...

Yep mine still says 9.12 too even after 10.1 install,guess they slipped up this time round.

Oh, then I wonder why the drivers stated that were signed on December 11, 2009, I was using the 9.12 hotfix, so I just wasted my time with a driver reinstall of the same driver with a different label.

These don't appear to be quite the same. The notes don't mention DisplayPort Audio being enabled on 10.1, while it is on the 9.12 Hotfix. So they seem to have some kind of difference.

 

[lavaheadache]

upon install turned my screen blank and I waited 5 or so minutes for the display to come back which it did not. Upon reboot, resolution was all messed up and while trying to go to the CCC only hydrvision was available. Did a reinstall and worked fine but my driver id still says 9.12.

Yet to run anything 3d but will soon. If you are the type of person who freaks out when this kind of shit happens steer clear of these clearly unpolished drivers. I however love to dive head first into problems so i will be a test dummy

 

[dguy6789]

Just going to mention that I have had no issues with these drivers on the system in my signature with a 4870. I've gamed somewhat extensively since I've installed these and have encountered no problems.

I still can't get the driver to install on my other system that has a 4670 in it however.

yeah but does CCC still say the previous revision you had installed like the rest of us. I concur though that my games are running fine
