Catalyst 11.1

[Johnny87au]

Cant u reroll back to 10.12 WHQL or 10.5? They seem like the most reliable ati drivers..

i just tried to install this 11-1 64bit for my main rig and it fked my pc. i tried 4 times with results as follows: 1unsafe program "ultradefrggr" being found by norton 2011 in hydravision install folder, 1 bsod, and 3 unresponsive computer freezes.

out of the 4 times it actually installed 2 times. i opened CCC up and tried to reset my gpu clocks. it was at 625/1000 and i wanted it at 600. CCC auto moved it to 500/750 and when i tried to change it, it killed my computer, twice. restarted desktop and as soon as ccc opened in the task bar it killed my pc again, had to go into safe mode and restore. in the proccess of backing up to 10-4

what the hell is up with 11-1?

http://securityresponse.symantec.com...112113-1147-99

found in file c:\program files (x86)\ati technologies\hydravision\hydradmh.dll

I would say its Norton that's the problem here.

so my 5970 on 30+24in screens = unplayable bfbc2 on 11.1 official. I'm just going to quit playing that ty game, it never ing works.

Can you define it more ?

I would say its Norton that's the problem here.

norton has been running seamlessly since i built this setup likw 15months ago. recently however ive been having graphics and ati driver issues. 10-10 wont run. 10-11 doesnt work correctly after install, but still works and every other night, the gpu crashes my pc b/c CCC kept the clocks too hight and 10-11 wouldnt let me in to tone it down

So Norton is using the same definitions & has not updated as like 15 months ago & how many others are getting that message from Norton about that ATI.dll ? it seems like there are other issues going on on your system.

[masterg]

norton found it when i downloaded the driver. it updates everyday. no other virus scanner or spyware scanner can run seamlessy in win 7 64bit. the ones i try keep crashing my system so i dont run them unless i doubt norton and have no reason too

[Chrono Detector]

I'm running 6850 Crossfire here, is anybody having crashing issues with Bad Company 2? It ran perfectly fine on my GTX 480 setup.

Microsoft Security Essentials is more seemliness & its seems that Norton is making a false positive & is trying to block that DLL & ATI needs it active to function properly.

So if you download it from AMD & not from the leaked links then its safe & your Norton is in error for whatever reason.

[masterg]

if its blocking the dll it needs, then why does ati need ultradefragger to run hydravision?

[masterg]

11.1a installed fine no issues

^
leads me back to believe 11.1, but w/e i got a working driver

[Final8ty]

if its blocking the dll it needs, then why does ati need ultradefragger to run hydravision?

Because its not using ultradefragger & if you cant show other examples of Norton users having the same issue with ATI drivers & Norton then your system is infected & ultradefragger is injecting itself into DLLs.

[masterg]

I installed 11.1a.

I opened up CCC and enabled CrossfireX for my 4850x2 and its not running both cores. MW@H is only running on 1 core even though crossfire is enabled. anyone else with a dual core chip having this same issue?

Yes I had a similar issue with an older Catalyst when I first got my UD5, thought one of my 3870X2's had lost a core so went & got a 6950. New 6950 artifacted at stock so I sent it back & after a fresh install of 7 64-Bit, the latest GB bios & install of 11.1a all 4 cores run fine..... dont know what I did but it now works!

don't want to reinstall this operating system, just did that 3 months ago. nothings wrong with it @_@

i have been pondering buying a 6950 but thats still alot of money considering my 4850x2 aint dead and was just working under 10.11

I have image flickering in black in Bad Company 2 with this drivers.

Me too with 6870 CF. Really sucks...

Adaptive Multi sample AA can coarse flickering in BFBC2.

Adaptive Multi sample AA can coarse flickering in BFBC2.

In my case it happens with just Multi-Sample AA. It also happens on my previous 4870X2. To me it looks more like a CF issue...


BTW 11.1's altered the 2D clocks on my 6870's, from 100/300 to 300/300mhz...
Anyone else experienced this?

Could be yes.

Guys sorry to be a bit lame & not go look for myself but how do these numbers stack up? anyone running a similar setup?

[Oztopher]

Give vantage a run and i'll compare at the same (GPU) clocks I only get about 27k in 06, due to it obviously being cpu freq limited. But result is spot on from the looks of it

C-N seems about right for a 6970..

[masterg]

i contacted AMD about the issues i was having: the crashing and also the fact that CrossfireX was not enabling the use of both cores on my GPU and they said they are investigating and will fix it with a driver update

[blindbox]

I'm going back to Cat 10.12. This version has Edge Detect AA missing. WTF?
