These seem to have fixed the intremittent grey screens that I was getting

Very good set this for my 5870, my monitor now goes into standby mode and stability is 100%.

Ok that's encouraging, I'll give them a shot on a clean install

No problems here either, completely stable.

just in case anyone else has trifire using a 5970 and 5870, this is the procedure to disable ULPS

Have you guys tried turning off ULPS?

ULPS feature is enabled by default installing this driver, however you can edit this setting from windows registry,

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Cl ass\{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0000\EnableUlps

set 1 to enable ULPS
set 0 to disable ULPS

many users have another folders than 0000. I had 0000 and 0001. Some have had 0002, 0003 0004 etc. Where ever you find EnableUlps change it to 0 it fixed my lockups with everest and both gpus downclock to 157 with the 9.12 hotfix drivers

Cheers twist3d0n3 I'll try that with my 5770 crossfire

DeadMan · 19 Feb 2010 at 12:33

Does 10.2 have the eyefinity stuff (bezel fix + profiles) or is it just the crossfire stuff?

Alexrose1uk · 19 Feb 2010 at 12:34

Bezel management is 10.3 apparently.

DeadMan · 19 Feb 2010 at 14:49

Well I hope 10.3 is out soon as its gonna rock

Alexrose1uk · 19 Feb 2010 at 15:21

Well, if the comments on some of the previews are to be taken seriously, early to mid march seems possible.

MoRT489 · 19 Feb 2010 at 15:47

Dont they release one per month so 3 would be march?

Alexrose1uk · 19 Feb 2010 at 15:51

Yep, it will be, we just dont know when in March

On Tom's hardware they have a report about the differences that have been put into 10.2 and also what is upcoming in 10.3.

Well, just updated from the 10.1 hotix to the 10.2's, and this time I did a proper benchmark. Kinda.

Vantage test, settings to 'high' 1680x1050 res, second monitor connected but not doing anything.

10.1: three runs.
6091, 6140, 6075. Av = 6102

10.2:
6086, 6101, 6089. Av = 6092

A drop of 10 3dmarks roughly. Not something to worry about. Next month I'll add a couple more benchmarks.

Alexrose1uk · 19 Feb 2010 at 20:17

10.3 beta leaks are out now too. Not sure whats in em, but they've definately got mobile support so they're recent. Might be worth comparing to those too

Mangochutney · 19 Feb 2010 at 23:27

Everything seems fine for me with these drivers APART from MW2!
It played without crashing with previous drivers, now I'm getting a white screen every 15 mins or so.
Playing stalker and BC2 ok with 99% Gpu usage, MW2 only uses 65%!!

Anyone else having trouble like this?

MoRT489 · 20 Feb 2010 at 01:59

Crashing in BC2 for me after 10mins play but unfortunately the game was updated at the same time so i cant tell if it's these or the game

chaosquall · 20 Feb 2010 at 03:05

no improvments for me what so ever in the games i tried =/ i think im allways expecting too much lol

Alexrose1uk · 20 Feb 2010 at 10:38

Anyone getting crashing in BC2, try the 10.3 betas. Feedback has been rather good on them, and I've seen several comments on much improved BC2 performance.

I'm having something similar.I keep getting CTD after 15 or so mins too when playing any game so far.

MoRT489 · 20 Feb 2010 at 13:38

Can someone link me to the 10.3s that they know to be safe? Any idea if they support bezel management in Eyefinity?
