il stick with 10.4a till i see a post with a new one where everyone with 58** series cards say WOW these are great

Do you need to install this over the top of 10.5 drivers or are they complete new drivers?

titaniumx3 · 29 May 2010 at 15:04

They are standalone as far as I'm aware, so can be uninstalled from scratch or over previous drivers.

My BC2 load times were shortened with the 10.4 drivers; will these shorten it even more?

Re-installed 10.4, don't want high idle temp's nomal > 32:34'c--->10.5a > 46'c.

I've noticed no change in the load times...maybe I need to install the driver from scratch i.e. uninstall existing driver and then install the hotfix? :confused:

Somebody didn't read the notes.

Make sure your version of Windows is up to date service pack wise then Uninstall the old Completely then instal the 10.5a Hotfix.

totally confused with ATI Drivers...

Which ones are stable for the 5770?

If you want stable and latest ATI drivers, just use the drivers on their offical driver page:

Had this when installing 10.5, great stuff.

Used system restore to correct whatever the drivers managed to screw up. :s

Had to use Driver Sweeper to clear out the old drivers before they fixed the BC2 bug. Just installing 10.5/10.5a over any 10.4 didn't make a difference until then.

You could have used the ATI uninstall & then installed 10.5a.

10.3 - 10.4 no difference in BFBC2 loading times

10.4-10.5 no difference

10.5-10.5a HUGE HUGE difference - in fact I can't believe how much quicker it is

I didn't uninstall drivers between each new one

Why do people still unistall old drivers or use driver sweeper . You just download new driver click install and it dose it all for you simples . Im sure half if not nearly all the problems people have are because they unistall old drivers or use driver sweeper.

I generally just install over, however on the 10.5a hotfix link it does recommend uninstalling the ati drivers first?

MiNxYyY · 30 May 2010 at 14:54

are these drivers good for CF 5770's?

Why in the hell would you uninstall 10.5 and install 10.5a on a 5XXX series card? They don't do anything different, it is a fix for 4XXX and below series cards as they left the BFBC2 loading time fix out of the official 10.5 release. :confused:
