final fantasy devs will notice that issue, talk to ati devrel, they will tell them to change their rendering method/shaders, problem fixed. if the dev isnt willing to do that ati will just add app/scene detection to fix it.

good luck playing cat and mouse with ati.

what do you expect ati to do? recall all cards? send all 4870 owners a 4890 ? leave the bug unfixed ? there are not really many options. they could give you a chunk of money to recode your application
Well, the goal of my app is to put the card into the highest load possible, just as furmark. That's the problem. I worked hard to get to this point. Should i get castrated without reacting ? I don't know.

Playing cat and mouse doesn't appeal me at all. I have to say i don't know what to do.
