Are ATI Drivers Bad?

Talking about game profile IQ settings for individual game.

Next time say what you mean & most people don't care that they have to make there own because most will use the in game settings & not try to force everything through the driver.
I have 130 games & like the good quality & i have only made a profile for 1 game out of that lot so far & it takes very little time to make one.
Don't confuse your personal preference for features as must for everyone else.
The only thing i that would like is that the profiles would auto activate.
Soldato
Mmm, what else would I and the poster you were responding to be referring to.
The difference tends to be that NVidia are very pro-active in delivering new and user friendly features as well as ensuring game compatibility, whereas ATI are usually reactive and often leave useful features which would be easy to implement by themselves to 3rd parties to do.

We have already established what your on about after that so there is no reason to bring it up again.

Download RadeonPro from here :

Much easier to work with than CCC, profiles auto activate when an exe is run & you can have multiple different exe's set to activate a single profile, amongst other things.
If I was ATi, I'd give the author a large sum of cash & include it with future drivers, as it's how CCC should have dealt with games / profiles from the beginning.

I mean they sell gaming cards, at least follow nvidia's lead and give the consumer all they need to get the best out of their GFX card, with it all at your fingertips in a simple but effect UI. You can say it's user preference all you want but it does make the nvidia package a lot more attractive than ATI's.

1)screen first at consumer level on a single card.
2)Tessellation first.
2)DX10.1 first
3)DX11 first.
ATI cards have better HDMI sound output options.
More people use using those option above than what NV has come up with first below.
NV 3D requires 2 cards realistically for performance & a 120HZ Screen
NV physx requires 2 cards realistically for performance & only about handful worthwhile titles to date.
Mafia 2, BBA, Mirrors edge, BBA2- possibly.
None of what NV has made will become the industry standard.

I know about that but i use CCC so little i have no need for it & i was just expressing my opinion of the feature.
Its only one mouse click to activate anyway.
Soldato
Again your putting your opinion as fact to what everyone else needs.
Your needs are your own & just maybe putting in a feature that will please you would upset someone else.
Not true at all, there's only a handfull of games I need to turn details down for 3D, and I'm on a single 480.
Similarly people who have got 470s and 3D vision have commented here that it runs well on their cards.
And while we're on the subject of 3D, let's not forget that Nvidias integration of it is pretty much perfect, whereas ATi are still dragging their feet with owners having to use inferior 3rd party drivers if they want to try out 3D.

So your holding 60fps in 3D vision & with physx on a single 480 ?.

Its to early to judge NV version 3D as the future because 3D is in its infancy & the direction of implementation could change allot which could make 3D vision redundant.
I would drag my feet as well & you think the majority will go out & buy a 120 monitor just to try out 3D.
Its just not mainstream enough yet to worry about.
NV only rushes forward in propriety incompatible with any other technology standards to sell cards.
The long term viability is irrelevant as long as it got the card sold then that's all that matters.

If gaming need frame rate at above 60fps at all time instead of what's the user consider smooth enough and playable, then PC/PS3/XBOX360 gaming would had long been dead...
Well, everyone playing Doom, Quake and Starcraft 1 again actually doesn't sound too bad though
Soldato
Surely until you try 3D vision none of us can really comment on it?
I intend to buy the 3D vision kit for my next big purchase,as for saying if its good or bad i cant say as i havent used it yet

That's why we are in the gfx card forum because we are talking about PC gaming arn't we & if everyone here was happy with Console performance then we would not be here would we.
And i didn't say everyone but i really about that anyone would complain about running at 60fps than 30 fps.

My comments is on the know facts about the tech which i have had first hand experience with & 60hz shutter flickers no matter what & i will not put up with that.
Soldato
No, but if you'd had any sort of experience with 3D vision you'd realise you don't need 60fps for a smooth gameplay experience - 35fps+ works just fine

Seeing you don't know me & what I'm sensitive to i don't think you can tell me what i need for a smooth experience.
Everything i have said to you is about what i need for a smooth experience which is 60fps minimum & when 120Hz 30" screen appear then it will be 120fps minimum as the short comings of 60fps are becoming apparent to me over time.
The fact that you ignored the fact of 60hz shutter flicker which i said is a no no for me means that there is no such thing as smooth for me & 3D vision is out of the question period.
