Cheers, thats weird then

The pic in my post is actually the wrong version and not even my screenshot, yours is right.

You should be getting the bezel stuff since someone over at Rage3D says it's working fine.

damm, well tried another uninstall, reboot, reinstall, still nothing


WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

I really have had enough of ATI Drivers .. ok ok they are Beta's but still ..

 

[aj2703]

I'm not even gonna bother to try these, the last release (last week i think it was) made my HDCP compliant setup NON compliant and i couldn't play blu-rays on my hdtv..ffs...!!.

 

[twist3d0n3]

very strange glitch in l4d2, bad flickering all over the 3 screens and 'streaks'

EDIT: same thing in cs:s and plants vs zombies (thought i'd fire them up to see if it was just one game)

unless i can find out what is causing it, i'll have to wait for 10.3 officials

EDIT 2: with xfirex disabled, it works fine - how annoying!

These also support mobility cards btw for those of you with laptops.

Sweet - finally some new drivers for my 5470 mobility.

I'll report back once i've benchmarked...

 

[maddness]

... and finally no standby bug anymore

Did you not post them in another thread with differing CPU clocks ?

Looks that way with the CPU score.

Flickering fixed with Crossfire in BC2 BETA with these

Seem like a top set so far!

 

[theforce]

Some benchmarks in a variety of games should be helpful guys

 

[Dirkscooby]

I don't get the flickering in BC2 beta with the 10.2s. I thought it was the latest update for the game that sorted that.

Perhaps it was!

Anyway still seem nice drivers 8xAA ME2 1920x1200 maxed runs better than ever 60FPS constant pretty much

 

[Tom|Nbk]

The driver has come a long way, for Dirt2 anyway. I notice now that the water effects and dust effects are different, perhaps the driver wasn't allowing full use of the tesselation and DX11 effects before?

Anyway

Old Results :

Now with Mild OC

900/1300

4xAA

AVG 65 MIN 48

New Results :

900/1300

4xAA

1920x1200 Same settings etc

AVG 71 MIN 51

Improvement in Dirt2 for sure, plays very nice

 

[Sc00p007]

I too have seen a big increase in dirt 2. 5870 @ 900/1300. i7 920 @ 4.0ghz.
At 1650x1050 4xaa ultra:
december = 63.326588, min = 53.015400 Today = 75.863075, min = 57.599033
At 1920x1080
december = 60.602146, min 49.975651 Today = 73.112694, min = 58.178814

 

[tmaxxthomson]

wow. thats some pretty huge increases!

 

[RavenXXX2]

Amazing set these for dirt 2, gained an extra 15fps on the average, tessellation on the crowd in the menus has improved by around 5fps as well.

 

[TaKeN]

ooooh, gonna fire up Dirt2 now

are you using eyefinity? i get weird flickering/streaking, but disabling crossfireX sorts it. not too bothered considering the frame rates i'm getting, but more interested in the bezel management
