AMD Announces Catalyst 10.10 WHQL Software

Mussels · Oct 23, 2010

they're exactly the same driver, the one ending in OCL just includes openCL.

there is no negative to installing the OCL version, the positive is that openCL apps will now run (if you can find one)

I hope AMD will also roll out this new FSAA mode to HD5000 series as well. If anything pisses me off are the games where you can't enable FSAA. Mostly Unreal Engine 3 based games. Argh.

and starcraft II

Someone said that this feature nis officially planned for HD5xxx series as well, but will be released later on, probably in Cat 10.12 or in 11.xx.

Though i also found a hack already and am trying to enforce it. Will report back...

RejZoR · Oct 23, 2010

Here it is, Cat 10.10 Hotfix with slipstreamed MLF:
http://www.mediafire.com/?5h6cpooivo4sbox

Not my work, found it on Beyond3D.
http://forum.beyond3d.com/showthread.php?p=1485790

I was actually doing it right, only problem is that i was a moron, editing WHQL driver that doesn't have this yet. Facepalm lol.
What i'd have tod o was editing the hotfix. So technically you can do this manually by finding MLF_NA entries in registry and setting them to "0" and editing ACE.xml setting MLF to "Enable". Haven't tested that as i'll just use the slipstreamed version...

there is no performance difference between 10.9 and 10.10 with BFBC2 !!!
Benched with 2x5870 CF @ 2560x1600 but Driver runs good like the older one, no probs so far !

regy13 · Oct 23, 2010

broken gothic 4

anyone else noticed broken graphics at gothic 4 with this version? everything maxed with 10.9 worked fine. now half-screen is blue-ish with 10.10+OpenCL

GPU: Spaphire HD5850

RejZoR · Oct 23, 2010

Omfg, this feature is wicked. Have tried it in Killing Floor, Sol Survivor, Defense Grid and Split/Second Velocity. Out of these 4 games, last 3 can't have FSAA enabled. Not anymore

Results are darn good. Killing Floor felt slightly blurry like when using Wide or Narrow Tent filter, just not as much. Other 3 have turned from jaggy awfulness into enjoyably smooth looking games.
Especially Split Second looks really good where even menu elements are filtered.

I love this hack but personally i think this feature alone is worth buying a new graphic card.

Also considering it's an extra post processing effect i assume you can use 2xFSAA (Box) and Morphological AA to get even better results for nearly no performance hit. But i don't have time to test now. This would however only work in games that support FSAA.

EDIT:
Have taken time to test. Yup, regular FSAA and MAA can be combined in games that otherwise do support regular FSAA.
2xFSAA + MAA combined and the thing looks pretty much the same as 8xFSAA. Also applies to transparent textures like trees and grass.
Couldn't feel any slowdown at all. Gotta try Crysis with this

Mr McC · Oct 23, 2010

Can anybody else who has been experiencing issues that were resolved in the corresponding hotfix releases (I've been forced to use the hotfix releases from 10.4 onwards) comment on whether or not the issues have been resolved in the 10.10 official release?

reverted back to 10.9 (only the driver) and everything is fine. very odd but 10.10 screws with gothic 4 big time

so the new AA method works on 5K cards with the 10.10a drivers? and it works WELL?

For anyone on Windows xp pro and recently got a HD 6870 or HD6850, here is the "AMD Catalyst™ 10.10b Hotfix: Windows XP® Support for AMD Radeon™ HD 6870 and AMD Radeon HD 6850 Graphics Products"

I couldnt get it to work im downloading the slipstream version of 10.10a now to see if it works.

edit...Options in CCC are there now...just need a game that we know it works on.

WHERE is it enabled?

i THINK it's a HD6xxx feature and only works in HD5xxx by editing the registry.

Mussels · Oct 23, 2010

it a 6k only feature at the moment, some people modded the drivers (see a few posts up, a link was provided) to make it work on 5k

the idea is that its AA provided via ~~openCL~~ directcompute, making it work on all games (even those AA previously sucked on) with minimal performance hit (read: less than current AA methods)

Ok TPU needs a tutorial ASAP.

Yes! Even works with GTA IV!

this MLAA is going to be big.

thats my opinion as well.

dir_d · Oct 23, 2010

Does this work using direct compute or open CL. Because the hacked drivers show no openCL in GPU-Z?

HalfAHertz · Oct 23, 2010

It was said on AT that it uses DirectCompute. Dx10 also supports direct compute, so it may be possible for this to be backported back to the HD4000's

That would be really cool.

For the record it does work in SC2. I forced 2x box AA with MLAA and it looks amazing. Mirrors edge looks even better now too.
