I lost fan control, temperature readings and frequency readings on my 2nd card in CCC with these drivers.:(

pjladyfoxI never got the entire "user customized" thing with the NVIDIA drivers except that they could get you into some serious do-do if you did not know what you were doing. It's what makes troubleshooting various SLI issues an absolute nightmare when some n00b reads a bunch of settings that worked for one guy, gets them locked in, then hoses his game where they then go QQ on a forum that it's the game's fault for not working right. :twitch:

Not that I'm saying that happens here I just find that the more widgets you give to someone to play with, sooner or later, they'll wind up in a bigger mess than is possible to repair. My only real concern is the speed of the profile updates and not supporting some games for whatever reason.

example: if i want AA in bioshock 2, i have to turn it on in the CCC. i finish Bioshock 2 and go play company of heroes - and get excessive lag, cause i forgot to turn AA off in CCC. THATS what we want.

We also want to control what crossfire profile is used in what game - i get severe flickering in some titles with vsync off, and i think another profile would fix that

Same here with system lockups as well

I had the same issue with the 9.12 hotfix drivers. Back to 10.1's for me.

They got to step up on newer games. Screw older game.

That actually makes a bit more sense but I'd still be a bit leery, were I in the same shoes, in packaging that with a driver release since that goes out to everybody regardless of vendor. Now if they made a separate tool, which I could see them do considering how they are changing things, which worked similar to how the AMD Overdrive tool works (read: Use at your own risk) it would keep things separate while satisfying both desires.

While everyone may get on their knees and sing the praises of NVIDIA drivers I just do not see it. For my own part, the last decent set of display drivers they ever released were the 93.71's with everything after that being one big huge kludge of a mess. Everything from the "install everything" and "uninstall one" mindset to the nightmare called their SLI profile tool which allows a person to setup a situation where the only way to fix a borked configuration is to either reset if you're lucky or uninstall in safe mode if you're not.

Hmmm, now that I think about it, you could almost say NVIDIA is the Harley of driver development; they run great but the minute something goes south it does so in a MAJOR way. Not that I'm saying ATI/AMD are saints either but at least their tools don't leave crap behind all over the place or install crap that I do not wish to install.

i dont praise nvidia drivers - i just wish ATI had some of their features in their drivers as well.

Per-application settings, including crossfire profile is all i want.

10.2 driver has pass all the test that I hit it with :toast: ♥♥♥♥

Are these any good guys, cant download em as my net has gone over its cap, yes i know aussie net sucks ballz!:banghead:

10.2 fixed the monitor standby issue for me. Hooray!

DonInKansas10.2 fixed the monitor standby issue for me. Hooray!

do tell of this issue

I like ATi's driver naming. 10.1 for 2010-01, 10.2 for 2010-02, etc.
Tells you that every month you can look forward to having your card just that little bit better.:)

Well I've just installed the 32bit set at work and I'll have to wait until I'm home to install the 64bit set. I'm massively disappointed with the 10.1 set hopefully this set will make me smile.

I hear you Mussels on per application settings, Nvidia's implementation seems so simple too, why don't they just include it, sigh.

also for all to see;

Resolved Issues for All Windows Operating Systems

- Intermittent grey screen or vertical line corruption may randomly appear on the
screen

Well I'm pretty happy (aka no more GSOD's for 6 days) with my beta leaked and it looks like they are newer than this 10.02 WHQL.
So probably it's the first time when I'll ignore my signature. :D



BTW any of you knows something about installing ATI Stream SDK and gaining some FPS's here and here on increase Vantage score? For me it doesn't sound logical but here are some guys with reports of gaining something.:wtf:

Musselsdo tell of this issue

Same thing I was talking about here:

t_skiI hope they fixed the issue where my 5970 does not go to sleep (screen goes black but monitor does not go to standby).

Tank's ATi :D:respect:

ShRoOmAlIsTiCI cant access CCC now with these drivers. says currently active card is not supported. If I disable my gtx260 I can use the CCC but only when its disabled. is ati cockblocking physx now?

same problem here with my 5870 and 8800GT ,any solutions ??

Are you two using the NGO hack?

i use v1.02 from this page

physxinfo.com/news/942/hybrid-physx-mod-1-02-195-xx-drivers-and-win-xp-support/

anyone know where i can download ATi stream SDK 2.1 without having to register on the ati website??

@ Freedom - you may get it on MegaUpload or Rapidshare.

Anyone else receiving performance increments with this set and previous series not the 5K?

not having much luck finding it on MU or RS...I suppose I shall have to wait (or just register on the site)

Plutoniumsame problem here with my 5870 and 8800GT ,any solutions ??

I uninstalled everything, reverted back to 9.12 Catalyst then just updated the driver to 10.2. CCC works again. I dont see what kind of changes that could be made in CCC to really justify keeping the 10.2 CCC

so for me so far the 9.12 CCC with 10.2 driver fixed it.

I am using 9.12 CCC hot fix and having no problems..... How are these Drivers any good? Would appreciate it if someone could post on an overall basis about them.

Kind of wondering if it is a waist of time or not. Is there really any performance increase or not?
