zokier Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Catalyst™ 9.3 brings performance benefits in several cases where framerates are CPU limited. sounds promising for lofc/dcs

JG14_Smil Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 same old same old... still can't use Advanced AI at BS startup. No gains seen.
Mustang Posted March 19, 2009 Author Posted March 19, 2009 Yeah, pretty much the same here on my HD3850, stable as ever with nothing remarkable to report, oh well :) Roll on 9.4....
Kuky Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 (edited) just installed and tried it myself... for me it's same... full shadows (in LockOn) still don't work and framerate is about the same. I have no graphical glitches so I guess it's all good.

connos Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Install them over previous version without uninstall or use driver cleaner and all OK here. Same as the previous ones in BS. But as we all know BS is CPU limited so i didn't expect any improvements.

rapid Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Hmmm may as well remain on 8.12. Seems like to much work when ever i want to play BS to keep remmebering to turn my AI off then remember to turn it back on again when ever i play all my other stuff is a bit to much for me really.

Same for me, I made profiles now to load all my games, then just right click the CCC in the system tray and activate profile, in the profile manager if you point it to the .exe of a game you activate profile and game loads, easy peasy!

rapid Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 (edited) Good idea. So along with Track Ir, Saitek SSt and black shark I have to load a profile from CCC. Its a good idea..............but im too lazy lol. I just want to be able to click on the game.............and it runs. Washer UK i may adopt it will see how it goes.

Washer UK Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 I use affinity tool so I set my profile in CCC to launch that which makes things a lot easier + when I plug in my x52 the profiler auto loads so its pretty much a right click then a left click to load DCS :) Q6600 3.2Ghz, 4G DDR2 1066, ATI 4870, x52, TrackIR 4, Vista 64

VMFA117_Poko Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I must say that I won't buy ATI cards any more. Never ever. So many problems with drivers i haven't seen previously with any other hardware in my life. I still get atiumdag.dll errors, ctd, hangs, microstuttering and blue screens both under vista64 and xp32. I always switch to other drivers previously uninstalling old drivers, cleaning rest of the ATI files with proper cleaning prog. No luck to solve my issues. I already started saving money for new nVidia alternative. R.I.P. ATI

Mustang Posted March 24, 2009 Author Posted March 24, 2009 Lucky you. I have same problems as Kuky and many, many ppl. Just step into ati/amd forum and read the posts. There is a whole reich of unhappy customers. Hey, i wasn't being insensitive to your issues, i'm sorry if i came across that way :) I frequent all the ATI related forums and see lots of people with bad problems with their setups, i just wished that no-one had these issues :( On a side note, there is a newer 9.3 Catalyst hotfix out, version 8.592 http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/GPU-5-Catalyst93HOTFIXFireStrm.aspx i've got this up and running this afternoon, seems fine on my old 3850. edit: some discussion starting up about this version over here http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?t=33942797 1
VMFA117_Poko Posted March 24, 2009 Posted March 24, 2009 No, no, no. Mate :D. I didn't take your post as insensitive at all. Maybe I sound angry but just because of frustration with my cards :)
