FeizyAll the drivers are installed, I think. No unknown devices in device manager. I did the uninstall, and driver sweeper and cleaned out my registry too. It still crashes. It is weird. When the game loads and where you select your kit and squad and everything, it is super choppy and slow. But when you enter the game it is fine for a while and then crash. It's like the game just ends, no driver crash message from windows, nothing. Oh well, back to 10.5.

AlienIsGODHopefully these are better than the 10.6's. 10.6 caused BFBC2 to crash in win 7 and since I went back to 10.5 no crashes..

TheLaughingManThat is because games use different rendering engines and these optimizations are main just them going, "Oh company B finally gave us the specs on game X. We will rework our generic rendering to adapt when this game is running." This is why if you see something about one game getting better, chances are a game running the same rendering engine will work better as well but may not be listed as a "major change" on the details sheet.

Once Nvidia and ATI know what is what, they can create shortcuts, better optimize drivers and response for the games core rendering Engine cause everyone has got their little, "we do it this way" thing.

Generic gains across all games are usually for new cards the month after they are released. Month 1 they add support, month 2 they work on the kinks with the chip, month 3 they optimize the current crop of games being played. At least that is how I see it.

W1zzardAA improvement only in borderlands as i read it

TheLaughingManFor those guys. I am going to just assume it is a OC stability issue and 10.5 is just cool with it. Use what works for you and keep rolling.

Driver updates are optional anyway. I only get them if I thing they are needed. In fact, I see no need to get these for the games I play at the FPS I currently get with my settings.

I finally completely maxed out BFBC2 and now my system things its rather quaint and doesn't even bother upping the fan speed.

cadavecaThe usual Eyefintiy issues for me are still all present. Cursor issues is worse...doesn't fix itself at all now. Happens more often too...

Funniest bit is that the cursor isn't shown in screencaps, so I ahd to pull out a digican to get pics of it.

cadavecaOK. So, I basically put the system back to stock, after OS install.

All three monitors are connected, but only "generic" vga driver is installed. As far as the OS is concerned, it doesn't know who ATi is...no registry keys are anything(killed OS a couple of times removing the wrong entries, but was worth it, IMHO:laugh:)

First, I install chipset/southbridge driver.

Reboot. Reboot again.

Next up is the driver package, and after double rebooting from that, the "Profile" package is installed.

Finally, I install Hydravision(altohugh this step isn't important).

Then the monitor driver.

Then I create the Eyefinity group.

OpenGl and QuickTime both cause the cursor to corrupt, 10/10 times. It will also randomly corrupt...haven't been able to figure all causes out yet.

To Uninstall, I basically do the reverse, but with one extra step...

First, I disable Crossfire.

Then I disable the Eyefinity group.

Uninstall monitor driver.

I then uninstall the profile package, and then reboot.

Next I uninstall using the Uninstall manager, and before rebooting, I go through the registry and remove leftovers, as well as going through the HDD to delete leftover files in various other places.

Then the next driver goes on, after a fresh boot.

ImsochoboHi.

This is due to your chipset.
Please buy a 50 usd amd based chipset mobo and enjoy the same performance (on gpu) higher for memory and cpu, and lower on SATA and USB.

What might work?
-> Update mobo drivers.

That solved issues with 5700 series videocards win7 using amd 7 series chipsets and gigabyte motherboards ( known issue)

Please try above.

Have had 5 friends with the 5700 issue ( all solved by bios update)
3 friends with nv chipset ( all solved after new motherboard without nv chipset)

cadavecaThanks for the advice. I am already using a 790FX-based motherboard, also, I have tried updating drivers and bios on motherboards, as well as vgas. I'm just about to start bios flashing my videocards to see if one will magically fix the issue, altohugh I am not very positive on this happening. I have been dealing with these problems for many months now.

And Crazy, thanks for the vote of confidence, but don't forget while I may post alot, and have done so for many years now on various forums, I'm still just some dude sitting at home on his pc typing away. You guys give me far too much credit, which is a responsibility I'd rather not have.
