yep thats exactly how i'm updating mine at the minute hopefully all goes well since this a new feature (cant see why it wouldnt though)

Might skip this release, my games are all finally working with the 11.4s, AI control profiles + a fresh install of windows.

Also seems to have fixed the ff4 gpu rendering. Text is slightly thicker and far more legible now.

How very strange. My F1 2010 benchmark is the same as with 11.4, but I've done 4 benchmark tests with furmark, and it's a consistently lower score by a fair margin.

On a related note both 11.5 & 11.5a have broken gpu acceleration in vlc

LeJosh · 10 May 2011 at 17:02

Has it broken GPU acceleration in Media Player Classic? That's the primary one I use.

Merlin5 · 10 May 2011 at 17:09

I just uninstalled everything and started over with 11.5 but same thing. And same with 11.5a hotfix. I want to download and reinstall 11.4 again but the page seems to be blank. Anyone else manage to see the 11.4 drivers here?

No idea, I uninstalled everything then went through 11.4, 11.5 & 11.5a. It's no big loss for vlc, cpu is more than capable of decoding anyway. Oh and it seem 11.5a hasn't fully fixed the mouse lag but rather reduced it to the point where it's "almost" gone.

It small fix the bug - nothing else... been updated and seem ok,,,

RedvGreen · 11 May 2011 at 00:24

Mmm.

Used the CCC updater and it BSOD'd with IRQL error.

Did this every time I attempted to update. Instead I removed all ATI drivers and software and then it let me install to 11.5 without any issues.

Hmm I wonder if 11.5's will fix my crossfire woe's (black banding) in BC2 on my 2x 5870's

proably not...sigh :rolleyes:

as905 · 11 May 2011 at 01:27

i updated drivers by the old fashion way (hardware manager,right click vid adaptor,update,,i have a disk click ok...etc) i didn't realise i could use the CCC to update automatically,will do it next time.

thx OP.

Hi

Did you try disabling Bloom or at least set it to bloom=low in your settings.ini ?

Everything for me is working fine on 11.3, should I give the latest 11.5 a go?

I'm a bit scared of the problems people were getting with the 11.4, which put me off that release. I'm hoping the 11.5 is better.

11.3 were worse than 11.4 / 11.4 preview drivers here, so horses for courses.

If you have system restore turned on, you can always roll back if need be.

Avathar77 · 11 May 2011 at 17:40

with 11.5 installed VLC seem to have a problem when "GPU acceleration" option in enabled. 11.4 works ok with it.

Merlin5 · 11 May 2011 at 21:08

11.4 cats here for anyone that wants to reinstall them, like me. Blank page on official site.

I wonder how long it will take AMD to finally get aspect ratio scaling consistently working/available on their drivers. As someone who very much enjoys playing obscure and/or old games I cannot help but get irritated. Boggles the mind how a company can neglect this very crucial feature in time of such widescreen monitor prevalence. And its not like there's some big issue about it as its clearly there and operational, they're just not paying attention.

11.5 seems to be much better on my system running a 6950,ever since 11.1-11.4 BC2 has ran like crap and low fps in the 40-50s...now im seeing 80-90+ like i did back when i first got my 6950...definatly a good release this time so far.
