ATI Catalyst 10.5 WHQL Driver Suite Released
AMD today rolled out this month's release of its ATI Catalyst software, which provides drivers and essential system software for ATI Radeon graphics processors, AMD chipsets, and other ATI multimedia products. The WHQL-signed version 10.5 brings a few feature updates, along with a list of important bug fixes. To begin with, Catalyst 10.5 gives 120 Hz display support for ATI Radeon HD 4000 and HD 3000 series graphics processors (helpful with stereoscopic 3D), and ATI Overdrive enhancements which allow full control over ATI Radeon GPUs that are connected to multiple displays, eliminating a limitation.
Following on with Catalyst 10.4, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 doesn't take unusually long to load maps, while a stability issues connected to IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946, Mass Effect 2 (where display goes blank if you switch to desktop in the middle of a game), Empire: Total War, Napoleon: Total War got a fix which allows AA settings with Volumetric effects, while Unigine Heaven 2.0 in wireframe mode doesn't crash. For more details, refer to the release notes document.

Stop spanking the monkey while watching hockey you jack asses. Ati- you sux.
Why cant they add (Free Anaglyph Red-Cyan 3D Mode (color and optimized mode) :shadedshu
ATI start doing something about 3D :( buy Fermi next time lol.. u can save a lot in Idle lol ;)
Going back to 10.3 OpenGL Beta 4.
Likin' them so far in BC2.
:D
Best way. easy, not able to screw it up, (as long as you have a IGP or pci-e or pci videocard.
if they die, reflash..
Set costum clocks, then no matter driver, no matter reinstall, always is the clock, and 2d clocks works.
Overclocking in general is something that really voids warranty and is unsupported, so really are ati,amd,nvidia,intel not applied to support that at all. one can still complain tho.
However... I just noticed something. If I enable Overdrive (even without overclocking) the idle clocks change to 157/1000. Still crappy but at least the core now downclocks! Apparently it's a GDDR5 issue.
Oh and now I can finally overclock without the card doing 157/300 and getting flickering.
"ATI Radeon HD 5490" = ati2mtag_Evergreen,
"ATI Radeon HD 5530" = ati2mtag_Evergreen,
"ATI Radeon HD 5630" = ati2mtag_Evergreen,
"ATI Radeon HD 5690" = ati2mtag_Evergreen,
"ATI Radeon HD 5730" = ati2mtag_Evergreen,
Some interesting part names...if they decide to actually use them
Nice fail, amd...
Maybe i'll have some spare time in July to install 10.6 or 7.
