I did the normal ccc after the preview; preview did not impress me.
I am old and set in my ways.:)

When you set the new GUI to advanced, the layout is virtually the same as the old one.

These drivers suck. If you use overdrive then it fooks up your memory clock. What the hell is AMD thinking. I have been an ATI guy for five years and I am getting to the point that I will no longer buy from AMD if they can't get their shit together!!!!

LOL!! :laugh: XviD, DivX, Mpeg4 is the same $hit with different implementation! ;)
So (theoretically) any Mpeg4 encoded movie, can be decoded hardware despite the CC attribute(divx, xvid, etc)

you got that right

working fine for me, picked up 3 points in 3dmark11.....doesn't seem like much but after overclocking a bit more after my first score it dropped almost 100 points so to get those back plus 3 more with just a driver change is great to me ;)

it should be noted that the optional downloads (10.12 AHCI and RAID drivers) give you the option to install the new CCC as well.


annoyingly, they arent even showing an option to install the AHCI/RAID drivers either >.<

I'm pissed. All I'm reading is about the massive failure in these new drivers. I was really counting on them to be halfway decent so I could upgrade from 10.8. (I only upgrade if the drivers get praise from the community.)

It seems the only viable upgrade for me now is 10.10e. Damnit... :shadedshu

Oh and ***k the new interface, and the old interface. AMD/ATI couldn't make an interface even if it only needed one button. (Sorry but I had to say it. It took me 15 minutes to figure out how to change the overscan settings the first time...)

starcraft 2 and nba2k11 problems

from catalyst 10.10 to 10.10e hotfix to this one... no improvements, the mouse pointer garbage has gone but replaced with crash when exiting the game. the nba2k11 still has no solution to artifacts displaying during the game. disappointed. :banghead:

MLAA is enabled by default for 5000 series, where did you read this?

It was a question, not a statement... So i guess i'll be staying with Catalyst 10.10e hotfix.
This is for the first time in several years straight that i haven't updated 2 new versions of Catalyst. I always kept it up to date the very minute it was released. Now i'm lagging behind for 2 versions just because of the lack of MLAA support for HD5800 series out of the box.

Ye, i'm having this issue with 10.10e. I play terran, when I select units, it doesn't show them outlined (selected) and also, the pylon range circle is messed up.

DIVX Accelerated support WHAT ABOUT XVID ITS MORE IN USE THAN DIVX
this lame only 6800 series the other cards are left out

Go ask ffmpeg or xvid to write a GPU-accelerated xvid decoder then. Why should divx give a frak about xvid?
