AMD Catalyst 11.4 WHQL Software Suite Released

So I'm seeing now why the performance with 11.4 is much lower for me than it was with 11.3.

When I run Afterburner 2.2, it shows that GPU 1 is running anywhere from 45%-65% while GPU 2 is pegged at 99%. In 11.3, both always did 99%.

Anyone have any suggestions as to how to force 99% usage on GPU1?

Thanks for your input and efforts.

And this is why I always recommend reading all of the release notes before installing AMD/ATI drivers. After reading them I see this:

On Windows 7
High GPU clock speeds may be retained after exiting a 3D application.

On Vista
Windows Aero may be disabled after installing the driver.

So they fix some things but at the same time screw up some others to get them fixed. What kind of fix is that? :nutkick:

Guess I got to wait until next month to see if they get FF4 and games really fixed with the high gpu usage/clocks or not.

Must have been something wrong with the 11.3s when using Edge Detect and ATT in DiRT2
I was getting little black dots in the background and along edges of things.

This driver is fine.

bim27142 · Apr 28, 2011

man the new drivers have been a pain in the neck for me and i can't seem to get it working right for some reason...

tried 11.3 way back and for some reason the videos i play with WMC is choppy as it seems it disables hardware acceleration for some reason.... WMP seems to play fine though... and also, my Windows Experience Index for the graphics went down to 5.6 from 7.2! :eek:

this time i tried 11.4 and the same thing happens, same problem... man, what is wrong? is it me or what? :shadedshu

> uninstalled old driver, rebooted, installed new one - didn't work right
> uninstalled new driver, rebooted, ran driver cleaner, rebooted, reinstalled new driver - still didn't work right

:banghead:

please enlighten me... im about to roll back to my trusted 10.8 driver... :ohwell:

mastrdrver · Apr 28, 2011

Well so far FF4 has not given me problems. Though I do notice it sure is putting my two 5870s to work in crossfire. :laugh:

Who knew FF4 would get crossfire support?

and guys, would you have an idea why the control center looks distorted or something?

Since when can MLAA be captured in screenshots!? It was a feature used late in the render pipeline and yiou could only see it on monitor but not on screenshots. Has this changed lately?

Shift 2

Disappointed not to see any performance gains for NFS Shift II Unleashed.

Nonetheless, 11.4 are awesome drivers!

Under 3D settings

bim27142 · Apr 28, 2011

ok... but pardon my ignorance, what exactly do i need to change? i mean, i played around with it earlier but i can't seem to find the culprit...

In CCC, look for Gaming -> 3D Application Settings.
First section there should show you Morphological filtering

I don't know. Since when is that not possible? A screen capture, at least in theory, still captures exactly what's rendered to screen, unless another app/program gets in the way of it :confused:

some effects using post processing do not show up in screenshots. MLAA does. i posted screenshots when it first came out and it screwed up firefox on me, so i've personally seen it show in screenies.

Reminds me of the 3Dfx days when they did their 24-bit color that did not get captured in screen shots and then they show up in mags and sites but most didn't mention the capture was 16-bit.

Also is the corruption that happens with MLAA tied to cleartype or does anyone know?

bogie · Apr 28, 2011

Just a little tip for everyone that I have found.

Make sure you diable dektop composition on the compatibility tab on all your game shortcuts.

This will increase framerates and reduce mouse lag within games. :toast:

TheoneandonlyMrK · Apr 28, 2011

morphological makes all games look better at high res imho, it just makes 2d stuff worse,so i have it enabled just for games using profile switching , i wouldnt like it off in games these days as it fixes so many jaggy issues and to be honest it dosnt blur txt for me since 11.3 anyway

bim27142 · Apr 28, 2011

So does anyone have an idea why Windows Media Center plays choppy while Windows Media Player plays fine?

bim27142 · Apr 28, 2011

I was thinking of just using only the driver and then use ATI Tray Tools... any thoughts? The thing that bothers me much is this Windows Media Center playing choppy videos...

I have used ATi Tray Tools over CCC the majority of the time.
I have just recently gone back to using it again since the developer is back up and making new versions again.

I don't know if it will fix your stuttering media playback as I have never had the issue but it is lighter than CCC and personally functions better.
I also like how it can give you a read out of your GPU temperature in the system tray along with the max temp the GPU hit when gaming.

Strangely ATT did not work well with 11.3 for me but works fine with 11.4 even though the latest release of ATT was for 11.3.
