Oh, I have an HD5970. 10.6 & 10.7 both cause crashes in BC2 for me.

Or install southbridge drivers if you haven't already

Feizy · Jul 27, 2010

All 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.

Almost exactly the same problem im having. Its only in Win 7 as I booted into XP and played for a solid 2 hours and no crash

Hopefully 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..

Seriously im used 10.6 to but, its no problem

TheLaughingMan · Jul 27, 2010

For 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.

Lionheart · Jul 27, 2010

These are working fine for me

cadaveca · Jul 27, 2010

Image quality seems very good with these drivers...most of the issues I have are not fixed though. Seems liek 10.6, a bit more performance, and better quality.

mdsx1950 · Jul 27, 2010

Are their any problems with the drivers other than BFBC2??

Because i've already uninstalled the game and don't care anymore if it works or not lol.

cadaveca · Jul 27, 2010

The 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.

That 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.

Steams assisted tessellation would be one of them for as long as the hint on this thing is true (at all).

Mussels · Jul 27, 2010

i just tested and can confirm the hardware accel works really well in the new VLC combined with cat 10.7

0-1% CPU usage playing a 4GB MKV file, which is how it should be, imo.

AA improvement only in borderlands as i read it

... and what an improvement! I'm been forcing 4x due to the fact that I can't friggin' stand jaggies and the difference in performance is incredible. It feels as if I don't have AA enabled. Saying that though, I feel as if ATi maybe cutting corners as the level of AA doesn't look the same, it's slightly worse.

More investigation is needed.

FilipM · Jul 27, 2010

Image quality is great compared to 10.3, idle clocks are broken when overclocking

I gotta say, seems all users with BC2 issues are running Crossfire, and those with no issues are not.

I have no overclock, brand new cpu and mem in the board, vgas are stock...still CTD.

Battlefield games are hard on a system. Just how it is...however...BF2 and 2142 do not crash for me...only BC2.

Will be running without Crossfire(gonna pull the card from the system even), will update if that is really the issue...

cadaveca · Jul 27, 2010

Well, almost an hour and a half, and no CTD in BC2, without Crossfire. With Crossfire, I was lucky to get in 2 rounds...will continue testing.

How did you install them?

cadaveca · Jul 27, 2010

OK. 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.

EDIT: Cursor pics.

Hi.

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)

AphexDreamer · Jul 27, 2010

Oh my mouse used to do that too with my 3870X2 I didn't know it was a driver issue. However after a new MB, GPU and fresh install with 10.6 I no longer get that.

he said crossfire that would mean AMD chipset so thats ruled out

considering who cadaveca is im gonna say all the above was tried and ruled out

cause um... crossfire eyefinity on an NV chipset or did you have a brain fart like we all do on occasion :roll:

after all Crosshair 3 = nvidia chipset but Crosshair 3 FORUMLA = AMD chipset

Thanks 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.

:laugh:

crazyeyesreaper · Jul 27, 2010

um dont get your panties in a bunch im just saying theres some things we all jump through and test

i still remember when ithought my gigabyte board and mushkin ram were crapping out everyone said run memtest run memtest i decided on full system stability instead and turned out my PCP&C unit was dying instead of my first thought of it being just ram / mobo.

i also use multiple montiors not eyefinity tho that said 10.4a with custom bios flash did stop my cursor issue cold.

im using the MSI unlocked bios got them from DTV DRAGON granted im on 5850s but anything is worth a shot i had to do a bios flash to overclock as MSI afternburner locks up (still does to this day).

Eitherway point being 10.7 seems to be a good step forward but ill wait for 10.8 for a hopefully cleaner and further improved driver as so far 10.4a has been tits :toast:

and my main point was cadaveca is that you test some things no one else will test or acknowledges your gonna get a rep for that no matter what you do.
