ATI hotfix now available

[Banny]

Would I need this hotfix as I have done the bios trick with my 3870x2

have you tried to play DiRt ?

my triplex would crash out of that and cod4 with driver errors, after a bit of testing i found it was running on far less voltage than what it needed. have since voltmodded it so that it can actually run on stock speeds.

where are the voltage mods please , using rivatuner and gpu-z they both say my card is running 769.5 on the core . why does it say this cause ccc says it is running at 775mhz on the core , this is my first ati gfx card since the 9600xt (had nvidia cards since then)

This hotfix dont work for me, wont let me change one of my clock settings using AMDgpuTool, its the 300/900 one, everytime I do it, it just resets itself, so gone back to 8.3s

I think it works for me - no hitching in games etc - however when I had the problem before (eg games like GoW running at 15 fps using and 20% GPU time) my core clock would bounce between the 'slow' 3D speed (which is 795 MHz for my card) and the the full 3D speed.
Now games run at the slow 3D speed all the time yet give the right frame rates and the right GPU utilisation. It's just that the slow 3D clocks are so high it's not a problem!

56mb for a hotfix? I think I should uninstall my current 8.3 first as these seem a full set

Edit: They are 8.4 (or some pre-release 8.4).

these are a full set, i would say un-install the original 8.3's then put these on.

Waiting to try them out myself though, stuck at work at the moment

i haven't found any flickering on my system, and i've run Bioshock, CoD4, and Crysis... would i need to use these?

 

[OrphanBoy]

Uh, false alarm - UT3 still bounces between 17 and 63 fps

this hotfix has managed to stop my (TDR) atikmdag problem which is great but instead of the tdr i now get random freezes during gameplay, i cant win

I was about to send my card back as faulty using the 8,3's before and after hotfix, as I was getting loads of crashes, or system would jsut freeze or screen would go all garbled.

Decided to try 8.2, and the crashing went away but started suffering from what I assume is the powerplay bug (major plummets in frame rate)

Used Rivatuner to OC (which disables 2d/3d clocks) and its now running as it should. Well, besides the fact that it does not drop to 2d clocks)

Hopefully the 8.4's will be a lot better....
