ATI Catalyst™ version 10.7

[opethdisciple]

hey guys ive still got 10.3. is it ok to install over them or should i uninstall my current one first?

Some people do install on top of.

I dont.

just unistall fully, reboot, delete any ATI folders in your program directory, install new drivers, reboot, and then download and install the catalyst application profiles!

The sammies must report the same size as the 2408's then. My problem is that my 2407's report 52cm X 33cm Where as the 2408 and (i assume) your sammies report 52cm X 32cm

hmm i figured i'd check anyway but as i try to extract the EDID file from registry i get a buffer overflow error

^^That will be no, looks like it is here to stay, good job we have MSI afterburner to restore idle clocks when overclocking.

How do you use MSI afterburner to restore idle clocks when overclocking?

Thanks

I'm so tempted to flash my 2407's. But if it went boobs up i'd end up doing a Raoul Moat on ATI lmao

 

[twist3d0n3]

if you think it's worth the risk then go for it...

personally, on something like a gpu or monitor i'd probably steer clear

I'll use my laptop to flash one 2407 at a time so theres no fear of doing something naughty to my 5970 or anything else on my main rig. Providing the firmware aint locked down that is.

I'm grossly miffed with ATI about this issue tho. I wouldn't care but i find 10.7 drivers to run FC2 much smoother, just the Bezel Management, i'd be a happy man if it were fixed.

 

[JoshBrowne]

did you try just installing the display drivers and the application profiles, without the catalyst control panel?

Yeah I did. No luck.

Anyone know if

#1 they have fixed idle clocks if you overclock your card ?
#2 does it use the gpu when watching flashplayer 10. and if so what clocks does it use to run flashplayer

Thanks in advance

 

[JoshBrowne]

That is strange. It almost looks similar to a card that has temp issues. (i.e. flickering textures, etc). Would be interesting to see if manually upping the Fan Speed and/or slightly decreasing the clocks by 10-20Mhz fixes that.

I only played briefly on first installing the game but didn't notice the issue.
Do you think where autotune has stressed the card for such a prolonged period it has done it's self in? I'd have thought that if it was the card rather than the driver it would be prominent in early versions of DX as well?

Please if anyone can help with this I'd really appreciate it. I'm getting really frustrated that I've just forked out 1200 on a new machine and a massive leap forward with technology, and the thing I was most excited about, (dx11) doesn't bloody well work. Damned ATI/Steam/whatever is causing this problem.

Yeah basically you need to use MSI's automatic profile management to set 2D clocks to the card stock clocks and set the 3D to your cards overclocks, so when you exit a game the 2D stock clocks will kick in and powerplay will work as normal and lower idle clocks.

 

[C64]

seriously are ati having a laugh here why cant we have normal 2d idle clocks if overclocking ?

i am on 10.4 and i can overclock just fine and it reverts back to normal 2d idle clocks in non 3d so whats the problem why cant we have it in 10.7 ?


Sticking to 10.4 then til a driver acts the same and uses powerplay 157/300 clocks 2d idle for 5770 when overclocking

No problem with setting 3D with the automatic profile management, but unable to work how do to the 2D?

You have to save the default settings as 2D so the PowerPlay automatically kicks in.

Did anyone change any settings in MSI On-Screen Display?

HELP NEEDED

I'm currently running 10.4 on Windows 7 64-bit with a 5870.

I just bought Starcraft 2, which recommended I update drivers. I ignored it, but experienced some driver crashes during gameplay, so decided to update. So I went and downloaded the latest driver, which turned out to be 10.7.

I went to uninstall 10.4, and the uninstallation failed. The driver remains, but the ATI Installation Manager did uninstall. So now I have no way to uninstall 10.4. Suggestions?

 

[Orcvader]

Just install 10.7. It will remove 10.4 drivers before installing 10.7 for you.

 

[Randomface74]

rly? they advise you to uninstall first - can anyone else confirm before I do this?

 

[twist3d0n3]

when i try to uninstall ati drivers i get a bsod half way through the uninstall.

i find if that happens, it'll boot fine next time, so just go into device manager and delete the drivers by right clicking gpu's/uninstall driver etc.

then without a reboot install the new drivers and all is well

I've always installed over the previous driver (on 10.6 atm about to upgrade to 10.7) and never had an issue whatsoever

I do the same thing,anyway 10.7s are working fine for me as usual on my trusted 4870 card and Win7 x64,(I don't overclock so that might be why I never get issues).

you're on the wrong forum aren't you
