Cat 7.6 released

damn i feel like a numbnut, i totally missed that on the release notes. many thanks for pointing that out to me. that sure does seem like a pretty big feature to not have working in a driver release to me.

Catalyst 7.5 is out

eww, that sucks. i honestly didn't try any gaming with just one card so i cant say first hand. try with the different AI levels, see if it helps and if all else fails just install the old drivers.

HD2900XT and Adaptive Anti-Aliasing

theres no such thing as overkill, hehehehe its like melted butter dripping from a super models butt, just that smooth, hehehehe. same here, my bottom card can reach 90 after gaming and does idle right around 60-70. its just because they are stacked so close to each other, one of the...

Please help my Aunt with her Sound Card problem? Audigy 4

first she needs to remove all drivers, everything, get rid of it all. the problem is she didn't remove the old drivers before installing the new ones. then go to the creative website and have her run through the automatic update system: http://us.creative.com/support...=1033&hdDspLangID=1033...

ATI CrossFire and Physics

well just got off the phone with ati, no go. they say it isnt possible and on top of that there are no drivers yet to make a 3rd card act as a physics card. i just cant understand why ati would of plastering this crap all over their website over a year ago if it isnt even possible. even if i had...

HD2900XT and Adaptive Anti-Aliasing

HD2900XT and Adaptive Anti-Aliasing

i know exactly what your referring to and yes i get it too, its because of cat AI, to do it that way to need to disable AI. you should always adjust the aa level in game first, dont leave it set to none or 0. the af will stick depending on what you choses in the cat, i know they are sticking...
