The GT300/Fermi Thread - Part 2!

Anyone notice how ATI has had driver problems since forcing us to the Netframework architecture?

I don't see how that is at all related. .NET is for CCC and has nothing to do with the driver. If you're complaining about driver issues you should try going back to some pre-2000 cards and their drivers.

Not a chance. I remember having a "out of sync" error with an AIW card that ATI couldn't even figure out.

You're probably right about .NET and I'm just blowing wind out my ass, but it sure as hell seems that way.

I wonder what % of "Ati drivers suck!" are because inefficient uninstalling of nvidia drivers and posterior installing of Ati driver.

Personally never had a problem with ati drivers, obviously every time i go from nvidia--> ati i make a clean windows install.

Same.

When I went from my 8800Ultra to 4870X2, I never fully cleaned my HDD from the NV drivers and I had nothing but problems.

Clean OS install and Not a single problem with ATI, it's even my first ATI card.

If I install a new ati driver I uninstall the old one in safemode and remove any trace of it, then install the new one. Still no problems.

Had a 4870X2, 8800GTX, 8800GTS, 8600GT, and X1600XT in this rig at one time or another, never reinstalled the OS once and have had no problems other than bugs introduced by programs such as the "AMD GPU Clock Tool" or whatever it was called (it over-rides fan speeds and/or temperatures sensors).

i was bout to say, WTH clean windows install every time you switch graphics card companies my god, whats the world come to, you think we have come a little further than that with software development.

I haven't had an ATI card in a long time, was thinking just nabbing a 5870 until Nvidia gets their freaking crap out, im been hearing about driver issues and am pulling back on that now.

be honest, Nvidia side isn't all perfect. Theres really no problems though to most, aside from scaling being broken when you update a driver. which drives me absolutely nuts. you cant scale custom resolutions no matter what you do, and im a big custom res user.

had this problem before quite a few drivers back and spent 3 days trying to clean every remnant of the old driver and finally got it working again.

now with the recent drivers, same problem, same process of attacking and deleting everything Nvidia on the entire machine didn't fix it this time, rather aggravating, if anyone knows the root of this issue, god lemme know.

Yup. Tell me about it

+1 for a computer enthusiast forum... some people are sometimes a tad slow.. :/
