I only get a grey screen on my benchmarks when I try and overclock a 5850. Will this fix, er, fix it?

I'd like to know this too, the way it's worded sounds ominous. "normal usage" eh... so if we overvolt and clock past CCC limits no fix?? Details!

5970's as well ?

Well these drivers helped me break 20k in vantage performance GPU score, mainly because I can now get a stable 1030 on the core with these drivers.

AMD's links now fixed and working.

Mr Paul · 5 Feb 2010 at 20:26

Installed, but then I wasn't getting this grey screen you speak of!

Any news yet on what they've changed exactly?

I suspect they've just tinkered with powerplay & bumped up voltages.

Also interesting that they use the word "alleviate", which would suggest they don't have very much confidence in it.

I suspect more was involved than that.

With this sort of relatively rare intermittent problem I reckon half the battle is just reproducing it
