AMD Releases ATI Catalyst 10.9 WHQL Driver Suite

pantherx12 · Sep 16, 2010

Steam won't run the driver after it seemingly insta-downloads, do I need to run steam as admin or something?

1Kurgan1 · Sep 16, 2010

I'm not running mine as admin, but that is worth a shot. So far the 10.9's have been great, first drivers since 10.4a's that actually work good on BC2, finally!

That's weird, I liked 10.4, it seemed to be the best for me till.... 10.8 and Im having nothing but good luck using them. 10.9 I just installed and nada, no problems at all. Im going to run some mark benches to compair 10.8 to 10.9.

Im sure you used EROCKERS guide to do a proper un and new Install

It is weird and frustrating. Yes, I did follow erocker's guide. Obviously user error cannot be discounted, but I successfully reinstalled 10.4. With so many people providing positive feedback there is clearly some sort of issue with my particular set up, but I have no idea what's going on - I have tried 10.6 and 10.9 and immediately returned to 10.4 in both instances.

That's what I find most driver issues are, that or dodgy cards.

No worries man. Driver updates are optional. Not mandatory in most instances. Plus ever since 10.4 there really hasn't been any MAJOR upgrades. In other words you aint missing anything. :toast:

Honestly I just update mine due to my OCD. No other reason.

Still not support 5x1 Portrait :mad:

Yeah, I have more or less settled on 10.4 - they have worked perfectly from the outset. Later on I might try overwriting 10.4 directly rather than using erocker's guide to see if that makes any difference (although I used the guide to initially install 10.4 without any problems) and I'll also try to ensure that I choose Spanish for the driver installation wizard - my OS is Spanish and I noticed text corruption (words with accents) on 10.6 and 10.9 in the ATI registration window that pops up at the start. I don't think that either of these approaches will fix things, but I have no other ideas. It may simply be a case that drivers subsequent to 10.4 fix things for a majority of users but somehow and in some way conflict with something in my system. In any event, as you have said, it's not really something to worry about, given that 10.4 is working fine. I would worry if future drivers actually provided something substantial rather than a few extra FPS.

WTF !!

Still they are calling it ATI Catalyst ?!!!

The nameswap to AMD isn't coming until the 6000 series; even then the name may be held on to for a while to minimize confusion.

Tried out the AMD driver updater in Steam tonight and it worked perfectly.

For some reason the Steam version is about 115MB, while the standard AMD/ATI download is about 80MB.

probably has all languages.

ShogoXT · Sep 16, 2010

I never have to worry about the video settings because I dont use DXVA. You cant really use most filters with DXVA (least in ffdshow anyway, i have it massively tweaked out).

Again if I may ask, do you guys see your super-sampling option just fine or is it me?

WarhammerTX · Sep 16, 2010

Well 10.9 are slower in 3dmark than 10.8 and both are slower than 10.5 Ill try and play some bfbc2 tonight and see what they are really like

I had problems instaling 10.8's when they first came out. After properly removing the old ones first even. 10.9's for me installed without a problem.

I started this thread:

Problem with 5870: rig refuses to update beyond 1...

I'm going to see if EastCoast is on to something.

@craig

do you get ctd's in bc2? for some reason every driver above 10.5 i get ctd's but 10.5 is the only driver that works with my 5970. i use the guides as well.

havent tried 10.9 though.

any input from anyone would be appreciated.

cadaveca · Sep 17, 2010

Get out of DX11 to end BC2 CTD. Edit your config file to force DX10, been working good for me. Can't say I notice any difference, really, either.

grunt_408 · Sep 17, 2010

I will re-instal BC2 and av a look. I have just upgraded all my PC's to Win 7 and have not tried BC2 yet :eek:

tried that and it sorts my ctd's but having a dx11 card and not being able to run dx11 just takes the piss. thanks for the info :toast:

@craig
no worries, give me a pm once you have some findings. :toast:

Will do. I am going to look for my image now. The original disc does not work I had to make an image of it to instal kinda makes me feel like a pirate aaaaarrr. :laugh:

I agree 100%. After find that out when testing multi-gpu performance in the past couple of days, I'm now left wondering if that's the source of my performance issues...played for near 5 hours last night without a single CTD, haven't been able to do that since the beta. Don't know if it's ATi's DX11 driver-base, or the game at fault, though.

:banghead:

grunt_408 · Sep 17, 2010

Just installed and patched BC2 and got a CTD after I knifed the first 2 enemies. So yeah it still CTD's with 10.9's. For me anyway

DRDNA · Sep 17, 2010

Ran the 10.9 hotfix with update and work around enabled and installed perfect. I tested Steams AMD update feature and it indeed recognized the 10.9 Hotfix as being up to date, so alls good there! I have tested many race games and 3DM06 and seems to be about the same as 10.8b.... I have yet to install the newest profile and probably will soon...If anyone has something they would like me to test just say so.

computertechy · Sep 17, 2010

had 10.5's installed with profile, deleted the BFBC2 folder in my doc's and installed 10.9 with profile over 10.5, 4 hours so far with no ctd, but doesn't utilize my second gpu only 30%?, full quality in ccc and game 1920x1080. performance is gd with these drivers

fullinfusion · Sep 17, 2010

I've got a problem and need to verify that its a driver issue. But the thing is I cant go back to 10.4 ccc , I run driver sweeper, driver clean, remove the registry entries, and look for hidden files and folders. Any help out there? :respect:
