Drivers have been slow to appear this month but always happens because of Christmas/New year I guess, nice find though

Don't know, sorry

As the Catalyst Version doesn't get updated with betas, i.e it will show the Catalyst Version you updated from, so if you had the 9.12's on before updating to these, it will show 9.12.

This is what I got in vantage with my single 5770, which is up a bit from the 9.12 cats (hadn't registered my vantage copy then so no previous results to show, but might post them up when I get the time to reinstall old drivers)

i will test these in the morning, i cant see there being a big difference to the 8.70's i have got installed already tho.

Think I'll wait till the officials come out, they're supposed to have bezel management.

welshdragon · 23 Jan 2010 at 10:41

What's bezel management? :confused:

Alexrose1uk · 23 Jan 2010 at 12:48

It's for eyefinity users.
Basically it tries to simulate where the bezels are, and allow for it, so when it renders, things will move smoothly between screens as though you had a window strut in the way. Right now, screen 1's edge is where screen 2 starts, and looks disjointed because of it, beause you have in this gap in the middle, and yet there's no allowance for it.

Martini1991 · 23 Jan 2010 at 12:52

It's irritating to say the least.

Some parts are fine, but others have a good difference from screen to screen =/.
