im getting the boot corruption on a x1900xt
Same here with 6.4. Messed up screen at boot. Back to 6.3
Same for me, card is an X1900XT.
Went back to the 6.3 drivers.
so the drivers are not ready yet to use i see :( , no bench marks ? dos it not give a little boost in 3dmark
I've got them DL'ed, i'll try them out and see what boost they give 03 and 05 for an x1800xt.
you talk when you are in BF2?... this remember me something i was having specially with the X1800 ( when i had one)... sometimes after changing the driver the games have need be reinstalled.. other it can come from the AA.. be sure have the same refresh sync in games and desktop, and set the AA by controllled appliccations and use the cfg in game.. ( you can play with no prob at 6x, and set the adaptative in CCC..)Quote:

-----------------
But i see we have all this corruption at boot.. what do you think? detection of display.. refresh rate in desktop.?.. i have set in manual detect display but this is same...
I have bench in 3D05.. a little gain.. but not really a big boost.. need see if this is up my score in 3D06 too..
from reading a few threads a lot of people with a x1900 series are having problems with the Cat 6.4...it should be pulled from the site until they fix it...
Had problems with 6.4 on x1800xt 512mb, kept setting my core clock to 475 on boot instead of 600.
Would of had some bench results with them if i had realised it was set to 475 when i ran 3d mark
Back to 6.3 now, all is good again
It seems ATI didn't fully test these drivers before releasing them did they?
X1800XT, also. I have the strange occurance spoken about regarding the loading of Windows. Everything else works fine, though.Quote:

3dmark can'r run at all.
I'm going back to 6.3 ... :(
They added all these AVIVO features, and broke the main part of the drivers... how many did ATI fire from their QA team?
ATI's Cats Beta testers didn't find any issues with this drivers, so they are working to find the problem.
an extract from an answer from ATI guyQuote:
Ok I will have to get it checked when I'm at work tomorrow. Its nothing we seen in
our testing labs, and no beta tester has seen it. Requires research from us
Marioace , thanks for the update . Please inform us in case you have any news.
ok ;)
btw with an X1800XT and a X1600XT dont have any problems.
everything seems fine here with an X800 pro, no problems to report. 3d mark scores all within margin of error for me
IMHO if you get a distorted bootup screen I wouldn't mess with them. You don't know how these drivers are interacting with your VC. Remember, your computer consumes the most current during bootup. Although unlikely it's possible to damage your VC (artifacting is still caused be overheating). Yes, the artifacting can be driver only but it could also be do to overheating during bootup that is pronounced in XP because thats when the Cat drivers kick in (during post there are no drivers thus no artifacting). This artifacting you are seeing could be result of a timed heatup of your VC. This is just an opinion...
5927 using Cat 6.4
5898 Cat 6.3
but I never watched it so I don't know if it artifacted through or not. I have no problems though :shrug: Remember this was the first thing I did when I installed the drivers the first time. After 3d06 everything went nuts..
boot corruption here
this 6.4 driver is complete junk and stay away at all cost, completely trashed my XP, corrupted screen everywhere, I didn't bother to fix it....only takes 10min to reimage the entire raid array with my backup image that has cat 6.3 on, all is well now, I'll stick with 6.3 till ATI find a fix for it.
Same here, screen starts showing crap on windows boot. reverted back to 6.3s... ATI :(
thread title should be changed to "Cat 6.4 is JUNK"
I can think of a few other things it could be titled.
Same here, 6.4's and X1900XTX don't mix. My system restarts if I try to start BF2. Back to 6.3's and no issues.
I am surprised there isn't a fix out for it yet.
still waiting for the answer.
