ATI cannot make working video drivers

Ouch... reading all that... brain... hurts.

Only very small children cannot shut up while others are talking and are always competing for attention. Your posting in this thread is an equivalent, but you seem uncapable of comprehending that.

ATI really doesn't need my help to look bad.

I'd like to propose a test method to determine the problem.

1) Make a clean OS install or image restore with default OS drivers(create an image if you don't already have one)

2) Install a driver, perform tests record data

3) Restore the clean image Rinse and repeat with a different driver version.

This should help you pin down whether the driver version is at fault or not.

From a perspective of someone who is using computers since LS74xx series ICs were made on printed circuit boards size of a 9600 GT, who has some experience with writing Windows drivers, and who built dozens of computers from scratch, I really do not need a lecture on how to install/reinstall/clean drivers, how to troubleshoot things, and keep my OS in good shape.

If you're not willing to take these simple steps to verify your claims then don't bother creating random web pages making unproven claims hinged on impassioned rhetoric.

I am not willing to waste time verifying obvious things. Why don't you go and suggest to Terry Makedon that he should verify his claims about ATI's "pure awesomeness" instead? Reading the complaints on their own forum would be a nice start.

If you truly want to get to the bottom of the issue you must compose an experiment that will determine cause.

That is a job for Beta Testing and QA department, not for customers who paid for a final product.

If you'd rather continue to misinform the world then proceed as you are.

1. My claim that some things do not work for me is misinformation for you, because for you "everything works fine".

2. Your claim that everything works fine is misinformation for me and others who have problems and for those who might have problems upon purchase.

Guess which one does more damage to ATI corporate image?
