CY:GUgh... i cant install this drivers, everything seems to work fine then at the very end i get a ? that says there were errors and that i should open the Report, everything has a success but the ATI Display Driver:

ATI Display Driver
Final Status: Fail
Version of Item: 8.702.0.0000
Size: 90 Mbytes


Anyone else with this problem, i tried jumping from 9-11 to 10-2, also tried cleaning everything and then installing just the 10-2, same problem.

Win 7 and HD 5870

Thanks

Install the suite individually, Display Drivers reboot, CCC reboot, etc...

I had that problem, with the 10.1 drivers, but then I found the 10.1 hotfix drivers and installed them and it worked, couldnt solve the issue, god ati suk with software!

CHAOS_KILLAI had that problem, with the 10.1 drivers, but then I found the 10.1 hotfix drivers and installed them and it worked, couldnt solve the issue, god ati suk with software!

did you run driversweeper after installation??

I dunno what ATi did but I have noticed everything seems to be a lot more sharper in detail (or maybe its because im running ATi stream SDK) - its like someone just said '/eyecandy on' fog/smoke/haze looks a lot more detailed too as you run through it or view it from a distance & dont tax the framerate an awful lot like it did previously. (yeah - definitely must be the SDK talking there!)

best drivers ive used so far.

Is that in most games you play Freedom? I've always had better image quality with ATi cards than with nVIDIA.

InnocentCriminalIs that in most games you play Freedom? I've always had better image quality with ATi cards than with nVIDIA.

funnily enough yeah :confused::confused: but Ive always had the 3D tab in CCC cranked up to Quality but textures just look totally shit when you got up real close to them. now they dont 'break up' 'merge' or 'blur out' into some sloppy mess. even when your right up close whatever your looking at still retains its detail & im just totally amazed at how much detail has suddenly appeard in my games.

the worst offender use to be the armours in Guildwars - you could have an elite set of armour which has the most amount of detail over the cheaper sets but the closer you looked/zoomed in on the armour the shittier it looked.

I have never seen this level of detail since i started playing the game & there hasnt been any update on the armour skins for eternity & if there is, its usually to deal with minor clipping issues, not texturing.

So much better and CoD4 is a lot smoother

I ran driversweeper about 1000 times lol, the usual safemode routine and I got that issue.

When I first installed the drivers they worked fine, it started to happen when I swapped my HD5970 over with a HD5870 and then it wouldnt work so I tried theHD5970 again but it still didnt work so I back tracked to 9.12 drivers until the 10.1 hotfix drivers came out.

What is ATI stream? I neva eva use it!:D

ATi Stream - literally ATi's answer to Nvidia's CUDA - but read on,

gray stripe

I've Just Installed The 10.2 Drivers And Still Have The Grey Stripe Crash While Gaming. I've Also Had A Black Screen Crash Which Never Happened Before. I've Not Had The Reboots Or Shut Down In Idle That I Had Before. What's Most Annoying Is The Total Lack Of Info From Ati. The Only Info I've Had Is From Forums. Having Supposedly Released A Hotfix For Hd5800 Cards, A Release For Hd5700 Cards Was Going To Be A Week Behind. It's Been Way More Than That Now And Still No News From Ati. Im Not Even Sure If 10.2 Is Supposed To Be A Fix Or Not-they Don't Actually Say.

Welcome to the forums fluff!

I've always wanted to know if you manually put a capital at the beginning of each word or if you have a program that does it for you.

If you fill out your system specification it'll be easier for us to help diagnose and recommend a way of reinstalling the new driver set.

Musselsi 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.

Hmm not sure I follow. There might be some minor differences, but when it comes to available 'features,' pretty much anything that's applicable to your hardware, is available no matter the manufacturer.

Most people seem to be fine with using either NV Panel or CCC. But for 'power users,' there's Nhancer and ATi Tray Tools (or Riva Tune for some).

If you know what you're doing, one program can achieve for your hardware what the other can.

The only thing I would say ATi drivers lack, is staying up to date on Crossfire profiles at the pace Nvidia might. Which means we have to go in and in some fashion or another, tell the card to treat the game as one it's driver already has a profile for. Which isn't a big deal, often you just rename the executable and force AA...

What gets me is how fast drivers come out, and unless they're released alongside new hardware, the actual changes are almost miniscule for your average user. They rarely increase performance(especially by a noticeable gain), and in ATi's case, seem to forget to add profiles for newly released software.

It's almost as if drivers (in between new hardware releases) are more like hotfixes that rectify any miscellaneous bugs/glitches and issues, that affect maybe 10% of users.

The only consolation there, is that you can choose from the myriad and plethora of driver versions, and barring any oddities, should work fine as long as it supports your hardware.

New drivers getting released add hot fixes to fix bugs/glitches issues with minor game improvements and crossfirex improvements. The major improvements I’ve notices in the past several months is Crossfire. When you buy two graphics cards, they better perform really good in crossfire/sli.

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

TotalChaosSame here with system lockups as well

I didn't get the lockups, but I've found out more. With the 9.12 hotfix and these 10.2's it puts the 2nd card in an ultra low power state. It basically turns the 2nd card off when not in use. If I were to load up a 3d application the 2nd card does go and it runs at whatever I have it set to in CCC, so all is working well. You can turn off the ultra low power state by going to the registry, tick the "Computer" icon, hit ctrl+f (to search) and input "EnableUlps" in the field. One entry will come up highlighted. Right click it, tick Modify and change the value from 1 to 0 to turn it off. Restart.

too bad it doesnt turn off the top card since it stays hotter

i had to disable vsynv on Tf2.. made it look jittery with it on.

The top card is hotter because that's the card the system is using more. The 2nd or bottom card is for accelerating 3d graphics. That's why they implemented the ultra low power state for it. With my configuration though, both cards stay pretty much at the same temp. For TF2, disable "Multi core rendering", it will take care of the jitters and still use CrossFire.

ok ill try vsync with MCR disabled and im on a solo card

Is there any fix for the hundreds of black squares that pop up every time I start a game in BFBC2? They go away after a minute of playing but still.

I'm getting constant crashing in COD:WAW with these on my HD 4870x2.

Back to 10.1 for me.

Sorry about the capitals. What you actualy do is leave caps lock on, then when you submit the entry it changes to capitals on first letter of every word itself. My son has already told me off for this mistake.

TBH with yall i would force the card clocks during gaming so they dont have a chance to adjust in variably thanks to Powerplay, then once out of the game set the clocks back low myself if thats even possible.

This one wasn't as easy to get right as the older ones. I got some choppines in games with these at first. I struggled a bit and it looks like Stalker Clear sky got some real boost.

Good. No need to rename MassEffect2.exe file in order to have AA in game.

@Mussels
In regards to those profiles you need with various settings per game, you could just make the settings and save them as a standard CCC profile and select the option "start application on loading this profile" and select the game there, then select 'make a shortcut on the desktop', (and/or make a hotkey), also in profile manager, and there you have your per-game settings.
So basically that already exists for some time now, although I must admit I never tried to make a profile with that 'start application on loading', plus you'd still need to either make a profile for every 3D app or make a reset to defaults profile too else you'd be stuck with the settings of whatever you played last, but that's not a big deal is it?

yeah sounds good, cuz the damn 10.1 can't detect my crossfire so i switch back to 9.12, now im go try this one

thats a long, convoluted method and it gets erased every time i update drivers. it just doesnt work as well as nvidias method (nor does it give me control over what crossfire mode is used)
