for some reason i thought that wasnt possible with the package, maybe that was previous versions?? just checked this one and the INF etc extracts okay..

my bad.

Mr Paul · 23 Jul 2009 at 14:43

Well you can just run the installation and click "custom installation" and select what you want and don't want to install. It's always been like that

No they have the 9.7 suite released which has everything apart from AVIVO in it.

slipd · 23 Jul 2009 at 14:46

So what's the verdict then chaps; are they worth the upgrade or not?

I skipped the 9.6's after hearing bad things...

Mr Paul · 23 Jul 2009 at 14:48

They work, but AMD have messed with the CCC to make it more ugly

lol maybe ive always been in a hurry installing it in the past..

just ran the initial file and extracted the contents to a folder, the drivers are in there..

Resident Evil 5 is still borked with these cats.

DX10 mode = Flashing Textures + Area 3 very low performance compaired to every other area.

DX9 mode = Texture Perfect, no flashing textures + Area 3 lot better performance but still not quite right.

I have orderd Win 7, and at the mo using Win XP which i think is great

with reference to the gains in graphics performance will this be an even bigger leap from XP to Win 7 and a smaller leap from Vista to Win 7

Will Win 7 make games like Call of Duty 5b run better ??

Cheers

Crysis runs a little better for me compared to the 6.7s in Win 7.

Eddie · 23 Jul 2009 at 15:55

So far not so good for me - CoH is crashing after a few minutes on the 9.7s, going back to 9.6s for the time being.

The new UI is fair enough but where is the Avivo stuff (hue, saturation, temp), am I missing something?

titaniumx3 · 23 Jul 2009 at 15:59

I still don't get image scaling options under Win 7, the whole section is blanked out in CCC.

Works in XP though.

It's there under the desktop and displays part ,you right click on monitor pic and select configure,you'll see it in the Avivo Color tab near top.
