I dont know mate i dont think i have that at al, will check tonight in device manager but all seemed ok.Cyber-Mav said:got 2 missing things in device manager which im sure is to do with the gfx card, vivo/rage theatre chip i think.
and in some games i get issues where vpu recover kicks in for no reason, atimag.dll or something is the cause. and vista performance is not at the level of xp performance so wondering if some enhancements to that will be made too.
Just looked in my DM/Other Devices & don't show that with my 1900xtx 1900xt master cardsCyber-Mav said:got 2 missing things in device manager which im sure is to do with the gfx card, vivo/rage theatre chip i think.

The 2900xt has the lowest mem so i would really like to see it again with the 1GB version. to eliminate that possibility as thats the res i play at.Chronictank said:Using the 7.5Beta cata's

it just occured to me, its probably vista not the drivers themselves if your not using the latest cat's.Cyber-Mav said:got 2 missing things in device manager which im sure is to do with the gfx card, vivo/rage theatre chip i think.

Press F8 at boot and disabling the forced driver signing, then try installing them
you only disable it for 1 boot so you can install the appBoogle said:The VIVO drivers are seperate and not included with the Cats.
Driver signing is a major security feature and disabling it certainly isn't recommended.
It can get a bit confusing. But its, 4 arrays of 16 stream processing units. Each SPU has 5 way scaler processors. Each of the 5 co-issues floating point Multipy-Add (FP MAD) instructions, but one of the five has a superset for transcendental instructions, like sine cos etc. Take a look at the way VLIW works, you'll see why things slow things down if data has dependencies or the complier has problems creating the instruction word. I'm sure there lots of ways of improving the throughput.Tom|Nbk said:From what people and techs have been saying is the fact there is no doubt that ATI's solution is more sophisticated as it has the 4+1 Superscaler processors, only problem is its not really translating into real world performance
