With every new generation ATi stops having any interest in the older ones - they still have a "general support" and that's about all there is to it... long gone are the days when they tried to enhance a newly released product for years to come in parallel with the new generations.

perhaps check first if the enhancements are also not valid for older generation cards before throwing it out here....
It is normal marketing wise that they focus on latest generation cards

There should have been a "finnaly!..." in there as i was sarcastic. Ive never noticed this "mouse lag" untill i read this thread yesterday, so i call this mouse-lag lots of

A misconception that many people have.

The 5xxx have had more gains than the 6xxx up until now when looking at the true numbers even though the 5xxx are not mentioned in the notes for improvements so who's to say that older cards don't see improvement too..

My friend who is using 3870 cf still seeing performance improvements.

Never had any mouse lag issue with 2 X 4850 in cross fire & also on my lappy with Ati Mobility 5470 , both system running on win 7 64-bit

[PatRaceTin]

mouse lag is fun

[LightSpeed]

Damn the mouse lag is gone now. I liked it :/

[7he ]-[0rr0r]

No lag here and I'm using 10.1 drivers. Old and supposedly affected not sure why I don't have it. Could be related to my frigging about with the refresh rate when i used an mx518 or the razer lachesis or its drivers.

[CrimInalA]

both LOTRO and Mafia II crash on startup .
When upgrading ati drivers to .6 from .4 it bluescreened on me , had to remove and reinstall with a clean reboot .

Bad

I've been trying hard to find this mouse lag too, never found it before they fixed it. Guru3d users are reporting that the mouse lag got transferred to the top left instead. Honestly, this is a non-issue. For the top left lag, I found it to be true, though I honestly don't care, and I'll never see it unless I purposely do it.

Well apart from that, no difference to me on other aspects, as I've been using 4890.. no more perf enhancements heh.

[Lanek]

Huum till the right bug is fixed ( and yes like other, without knowing , i will never have find it.. ) .. but no, i have try and whatever i made ( put a game in window, have FF window / full screen, or OS/software windows etc ) i can't reproduce it on the left side with last drivers ... I can make a video if you want ... i call it a psy symptomatic effect . ( after have search the right side during 2 months for see if it was fixed i ask me if they don't reproduce it on the left by themselves.

most performance enhancements for 6xxx and 5xxx also apply to 4xxx and 3xxx as they still use the same architecture
