The boss of the driver development monkeys posted at twitter that the drivers are fine, somebody forgot to change the driver revision entry, they incorrectly recognize themselves as 9.12

flash acceleration?

Why and what does that mean.

[illidan]

adobe flash player 10.1 beta has gpu acceleration (for ati 4xxx and 5xxx, and i think also for nvidia gpus)

[damha]

flash player 10 had gpu acceleration for ages now, but I have not seen one single example of it being used anywhere...

if you want proper flash acceleration, get rid of XP/vista and move to windows 7.

[HDCHOPPER]

I am with partical running 3 monitors gets to being a PITA .....

[illidan]

yeah, but not for ati gpus

FAIL on their part, thanks for the clear up

[Zorlac]

Release notes PROVE they are aware of the gray screen/vertical line crash and it is NOT fixed. Nice...

Glad I bought a eVGA GTX 285 that I will step-up to a Fermi. XFX wont fix my 5870 because they say its a driver issue. I cant do anything on my computer with the 5870 because of the Gray Screen Of Death (GSOD).

Anyone want to buy my 5870? (might have to stick it on ebay). /sigh

[Tenknics]

I'm looking more for fixes related to:

- Once a display on Display Port is turned off, the driver reconfigures the desktop, removing it from an extended configuration entirely (thanks)

But it already does this? Ive had my rig since August and its always done that..Whenever I turnoff my external displayport monitor that is connected to my laptop it always reconfigures the desktop and turns off extended mode. When I turn the monitor back on, it reapplies extended mode automatically... ??


Also it looks like Mobility Modding Cats 10.1 wont work..? Someone said tried to install them with out modding? Anyone have any luck?

[Humminn55]

FAIL on their part, thanks for the clear up

But you could fix your avatar.....the word you're looking for in it is THAN, not THEN.

Than is a comparative word, then is a time/sequence word.

Is this a screenshot posted before from the final 10.1 driver released today?
http://forums.guru3d.com/showpost.ph...4&postcount=92

Because i just checked the 10.1 beta that was leaked not too long ago and every version is newer...


Notice how here they typoed it as 9.10

[Lokinhow]

Known Issues Under All Windows Operating Systems
......

Intermittent grey screen or vertical line corruption may randomly appear on the
screen


ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
not fixed yet

at least they said "WE KNOW THIS EXIST...", but the "may randomly appear" says to me "..BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHY THIS HAPPENS"

[EagleRock]

They didn't fix the problems with CODMW2

[HelixPC]

I'm looking more for fixes related to:

- Once a display on Display Port is turned off, the driver reconfigures the desktop, removing it from an extended configuration entirely (thanks)
- No more random flickering on 5000 series cards when using an extended desktop
- Way to switch between an extended and eyefinity desktop that actually works

Hoping that some of those made it in.

The 5800's have been out since october and they still cannot fix the extended display flickering issue. This is why i appreciate nvidia so much, better drivers, always has, always will. I have a 5800 and i cannot use my second screen because it flickers, it has been turned off for 3 months now.

EDIT: I am patiently waiting for Fermi, then my 5800 goes to one of my customers.

Better drivers I have an LG246W monitor which after 3 years STILL DOESN'T WORK properly on ANY nVidia card. You have to use as registry hack to get it to work. I'm running nVidia, but they just refuse to address this issue which should be a very easy fix.

[Truckchase!]

Here are my results with AA and ANI, plus one bug report: This release doesn't properly put my CRT to sleep, it only blanks the screen. 9.12 and 9.12 hotfix did not do that.

I have the same display and the monitor itself is at fault. However interestingly enough, I don't get the issue with my 5870 nor with my older 8800gt. The GT2xx series however is another story....

Good to see they at least acknowledge the verticle grey line issue... now as for fixing it...

I uninstalled the drivers and installed 10.1 drivers from AMD.


They show as 9.0

He made a post regarding that issue. They are 10.1.

[Etihtsarom]

Shucking fit man, I need that support for TV Wonder 650 USB Tuner on Win 7. Keeps BSODing on me that piece of tish.

[XSAlliN]

There was a time when I hopped for better results (ones that can be seen with naked eye) but rarely got that from an ATi driver upgrade... Now, I just hope they work and don't screw something that worked before and can't even make that right (as in, sometimes they get to screw more then they fixed).

[Piotrsama]

This is why i appreciate nvidia so much, better drivers, always has, always will.

You mean as good as the 191.07 killing hardware?
