AMD Releases Catalyst 10.10e Hotfix Driver Update

sometimes?

He is reluctant the rest of the time.

People need to realize that Vista, XP are dead. XP is losing support officially and Vista just isn't popular.

I don't see a single reason to prematurely kill Vista. I have Vista Home Premium 64bit and it's working just as good as Win7. Has the same DX11 support and everything.

I agree. I've had nps with Vista 64bit ultimate on my machine, but I have had problems with windows 7. Windows vista has two service packs, and many fixes. Windows 7 is still in the developing stage. I beleive it will be better than vista when it gets a few service packs.

MLAA blur

MLAA totally blurs some applications like Windows Live Messenger making it almost impossible to read

i've heard that. i think thats part of why its still beta.

then again, my MSN works fine with no blurring... but internet explorer looks like fuzzy ass XD

So, what do you think about it's performance, even allowing for beta? i.e. do you think we all will be using this in 2 years time or is it a fragment of something better to come?

360 and PS3 already use a variant of it, so i've heard.

yeah it actually moves - if i move the mouse it snaps back into focus again, and then slides around all weird like.


short version: it works, but AMD needs to come up with methods to make it NOT enable on things that aint games.

edit:

megaupload link to a video from my phone... its poor quality, but you can see the blur as it moves with the mouse.

This problem has been circling the net a few weeks, right after MLAA was introduced.

 

[AsRock]

Wow we are up to "e"? I'm sorry but this is just so much damn fail.

Oh and the link works fine for me.

Edit: Nope. Its dead lol

I be even more happyier if i had a 5k or higher card as it would mean performance tweaks to FONV before i completed it.

But there is always some negitive people when you try and when you don't which is the same ol story..

Seems to me their doing their dam best to keep the performance of there cards as high as possible. And lets face it you don't have to install it if ya don't need it\want to..

Anything that requires 3D hardware acceleration will look like this. If anyone has noticed, Youtube videos are also filtered...

This is actually easily solvable. All you need is a black list. Then AMD can just add process names of the applications to exclude on this list. Or even better, also add option for users to manually exclude it. This way you'll just add "iexplore.exe" to the exclusion list and you're done. No more MLAA for process iexplore.exe. Same could be done for every other application.

I'm real happy to have MLAA now for my Radeon HD 5770 video card. Surprising AMD has come out with so many hotfixes with the 10.10 release. Wonder if it has anything to do with the holiday shopping season.

Thats alot of apps.


How about a inclusion list. Or when something other than common named items launch fullscreen 3D mode.

I have tried mlaa in wow and letters were blurry. In game the effect was fine, but the letters were horrible. Quite strange.

thats just how it works. text will always blur a bit.

ever since FF4 got 3D acceleration, my gfx card idle temps flew from 45C to 55C...

and your CPU idle would have gone down.

Dude its a joke. Here let me break it down....

When the first Hotfix was released the day after the diver I said "I'm sorry but this is just so much damn fail." Erocker chimed in and said "Why don't you just say that for all your posts". SO I put it in my signature that way it would be in all my posts. Just being a smart ass ya know?

Anyway I don't mind hot fixes. What I hate is when they let a driver go and the VERY NEXT DAY they have a hot fix. At least give me a few days with the first one

All in all its great they care this much to fix things.

 

[brandonwh64]

Sometimes, i think AMD/ATI drivers are not fully tested and just released blind but like me and some others, i didnt find a problem with the drivers until 10.10 (pink hue issue)

The reason it is done this way is that the driver is released to Microsoft for WHQL testing. When it's verified (process takes weeks IIRC), AMD released it as an official driver. Any changes that are made after the driver is sent off for WHQL testing are not included in the WHQL official driver. AMD (or any other manufacturer) has to wait until the next driver goes to Microsoft to include those new changes in an official driver. However, AMD can release a "hotfix" driver (fancy name for BETA or non-WHQL driver) between the driver release cycles.

That said, I agree that it's funny that the hotfix goes the next day after the official driver...

 

[overclocking101]

i havent been getting pink hue with 10.10 but black screens and artifacts after 3d load. wtf amd

 

[Volkszorn88]

I'm going to give 10.10e a try, but i'm still using 10.5

Do I first need to download 10.10 before I install 10.10e? Or can I just go ahead and do so?

 

[RejZoR]

No, Hotfixes are completely stand alone.

 

[kylzer]

It feels like ATI are taking notice to driver support more.
