The 10.6 drivers are broken for Crossfire users.
which incidently if you look at the release notes, is where all the otimisations where!
Makes you think, did they test the drivers at all!
I've had not a single problem with ATi.

I thought it was common knowledge that VLC sucked? MPC-HC all the way.
What's the problem again? some xfire problems and VLC player not working, wow major problems nearly as bad as Nvidia's GFX card killing drivers that turned fans speed down at high temps, 10.6 working fine here on single 5870, big song and dance over nothing.
Regarding VLC player, it's obvious it's on there end that needs fixing, plenty of other players out there that decode no problem on ATI hardware and for them to suggest ATI needs to fix its windows drivers is just LoL. Looks like a PR exercise on behalf of Nvidia. And they could'nt find a cheap mobo with Intel GFX on board to allow decoding on the millions of integrated Intel chips out there says it all really.
Yeah but the windows one grew a skin of hell and hid all use useful context menus. Just try finding "properties" for an open video to get some basic codec info!As for media player classic, the reason I dont like it, is that windows Pc's already have a microsoft media player, so VLC is something distinctly different.
ATI have known about these video playback issues for months and done nothing - its not just VLC thats affected, problems with video decoding/playback especially related to rendering with a hardware surface affect other software too - its just VLC is one of the most high profile.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with video playback on ATI. It's been the gpu of choice for premium HTPC builders for around a year now, especially since the 5xxx series cards came out, and that doesn't look to change in the near future. I've been building HTPCs for years now and I've never had it so easy setting them up.
