RE: ATI Memeory Bug

[thr0tt 12]

I just wanted to know if this problem exists in ALL the drivers or just the latest 7.2 release ?

My first post hurrah !

Doh! my bad! i should never post sober!!

Good question.

I have edited the pinned topic to contain:

Quote[/b] ]The bug can be seen both in Catalyst 7.1 and 7.2, we did not test with older versions yet.

wonder when ATI get that problem fixed ...

i doubt they fix it in 7.3 due timing ...

realistic seems to be 7.4 driver  

p.s. good job on tracking that bug !

[thr0tt 12]

Thanks for answer. It would be handy to know what version it started appearing on as it will not be fixed in 7.3 as that will already be out for WHQL so earliest would be 7.4 but again very doubtful.

I would be happy to put older drivers on.

I *think* i may have this problem, i'll have to check it later.

But whether i do or not.. Thanks for identifiying it BIS =) Glad to see you sorted it out with ATI too

Maybe the other possibility is to test with ATI(AMD) - Omega Driver?

OmegaDrivers (read: OMEGA DRIVERS README)

I have only just installed the 7.2 drivers, im gonna see if it affects me too much because im too lazy to roll back to 6.9 yet hehe.

And yes it would be intersting to know if this problem appears in the omega 7.1 drivers too. If anyone has tested it please let us know.

Most likely it does - Omega drivers is nothing miraculous, it is a Catalyst driver with some registry tweaks. I did not test it, though.

Are you sure? I have just tried 6.9 and I have seen the problem with them, same as with 6.10, 6.11, 7.1 and 7.2.

When I tried 6.7, I did not see the problem. I did not test with 6.8 yet.

Doesn't recognise my card X1950Pro so unless I somehow frig the inf file I guess I can live with it for the time being.

Does this issue only effect windows 32bit OS's? I user Xp pro X64 and have noticed no slow down after many hours of running the game.

Lucky for you then. Don't worry about the drivers if it doesn't effect you. Even if it did effect your o/s but your were not seeing the 'effects' then, again, why worry.

Knobs !!

My next gfx card is an Nvidia again. As I've said before. I have little knowledge about gpu driver infrastructure, but I figure this shouldn't take ages to fix. Hope the next driver performs ok.
