ATI Catalyst 10.5 WHQL Driver Suite Released

[btarunr]

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.

Nice screw up ATI, their fix for flickering when using more than one monitor has screwed up the clock speeds when idle, this is only relevant to those that overclock but now my clocks are 400 core and 1200 memory on a 5870, idle temps are up 20c and of course more power draw at idle..ATI you sux.

2D clocks NOT in idle. Have a 5770 and my idle clocks in 2D are 400/1300 respectively. They should be 157/300. This happens when using overdrive and card is overclocked. As soon as I reset everything to default it's fixed.

Stop spanking the monkey while watching hockey you jack asses. Ati- you sux.

 

[SKD007]

Wow

Why cant they add (Free Anaglyph Red-Cyan 3D Mode (color and optimized mode) :shadedshu

ATI start doing something about 3D

ATI you sux.

buy Fermi next time lol.. u can save a lot in Idle lol

 

[burebista]

Now what?

 

[Cheeseball]

Great. They broke idle clocks. AGAIN.

Going back to 10.3 OpenGL Beta 4.

 

[InnocentCriminal]

Can't say I've had any negative implications going from 10.4a set to these.

Likin' them so far in BC2.

Flash your card and be done with it!
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.

 

[crow1001]

lol ATI supply you an overclocking tool with their drivers...

 

[Easo]

At last.

Lol, exactly my point brother.

My idle clock speeds have always been 400/1000 (5850) with dual monitors. I thought that was the standard?


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 5470" = ati2mtag_Evergreen,
"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

 

[AlienIsGOD]

Every time i use OverDrive or Afterburner, when i go to apply clocks, the clocks reset to factory settings.....

 

[T3RM1N4L D0GM4]

BC2 map loading time sux again... isn't it?

Nice fail, amd...

 

[erocker]

These work fine for me. As usual I edit my profile for 300/575 2d clocks. No noticeable difference for me between these and 10.4a's.

 

[CDdude55]

Meh, using 10.3 with my 5770...no need for a change.

 

[Pyarn]

BC2 map loading time sux again... isn't it?

Nice fail, amd...

same goes here.. my single 4770 loads BC2 faster compared to CF..

 

[Sapientwolf]

Yeah, I'll be rolling back just for BFBC2 loading times.

 

[MadClown]

My loading times have allways been quick since I changed to DX9 in BC2, faster than CSS when it loads its first game(any loading after that still smokes BC2).

 

[OneCool]

Now what?

Thats what I said.I guess we wait until the 10.6

 

[douglatins]

How something like screwing idle clocks get past any test? Dont they at least try out the driver first?

 

[Polarman]

Too damn busy working. Still on 10.1.

Maybe i'll have some spare time in July to install 10.6 or 7.

 

[HillBeast]

ATI are just pumping out the drivers these days. It's almost daily! Good work ATI!

 

[entropy13]

Seems I have to stick with 10.3
