Vidim da je izašao i novi MMC 9.0.8, apdejtan je i DAO/MDAC.

https://support.ati.com/ics/support/...ge&folderID=27

Baš me zanima da li su sredili vražji WDM...

Da li je neko već isprobao nove?

upravo instalirao softmodane s Techpowerupa....
sad će pasti koja partija UT2004 vCTF-a...

[Tr4f1ka]

hm bilo je i vrijeme da izadju

cuo sam po stranim forumuma da je kasnio ( kasni u smislu da nije izasto bas na pocetku mjeseca ) zbog optimiziranja AMRa i r5xx podrske... fino fino...

[Jelc]

WDM driveri delaju kak treba
Fala kurcu...

Driveri su stabilni, neki bugovi su ispravljeni, isprobao sam par igara i bencheva "normalno" i sa 4xAA i 8xANISO i sve dela super

Da ne bude zabune-govorim o driverima, WDM-u i CP-u.
Upareno sa zadnjim ATT-om.

Dakle-bez ružnog i ništkoristi CCC-a

[Tr4f1ka]

hm ccc nije ruzan ni beskoristan, a cuo sam i daje sa 5.5 driverima doso i "major speed up" za ccc...

nekontam zashto tolko svi pljujete potom cccu, mislim, nije da ga koristim, i kad je izaso bio je sranje beskorisno sporo, ali stvari se mjenjaju

Word...

[Jelc]

"major speed up"

Eh...

Sve kaj se može dobiti sa CCC-om-može se dobiti i sa RadLinkerom, ATI Tools-om ili ATI Tray Tools-om, RivaTuner-om

ATT npr. "teži" kakvih 694kb i ne treba problematični net.shamework da bi funkcionirao koliko toliko normalno.

Da ne pričamo o tome da ako postoji neki bug-izađu i dvije-tri verzije u mjesec dana.

I da...volim kad clockam i bencham imati kompletni graf svega, CPU-a, GPU-a, meme, temperature, iskorištene sistemske i video memorije, brzine venta

Da skratim-za "entuzijaste" je puno bolji neki drugi soft, a ne CCC.

Ma idu ko gluha svinja

WDM je prije imao ako si chekirao anologni source lag, sad sve dela fino, vidi se pomak pri višim AA i ANISO setinzima...

[segregator]

A meni i dalje ne rade catalysti (počevši od 5.1), pa sam prisiljen koristiti M$ drivere, bazirane na 5.3

Najsumnjivije mi je viaagp.sys i viaagp1.sys učitavanje jedan za drugim kod podizanja XP-a. Kad su instalirani M$ driveri, onda vidim samo viaagp.sys

Pretpostavljam da je standardna procedura Drivercleanerom učinjena?

[segregator]

Probao sam čistiti sa svim i svačim, čini mi se da je ovaj drugi viaagp1.sys dio catalysta (smartgart možda, jer M$ driveri nemaju smartgart tab)

Ima netko ideju kako instalirati catalyste bez smartgarta?

dio je via4in1 drivera....

[segregator]

A zašto ga onda nema kad deinstaliram catalyste?

[Mailman]

pogledaj u C:\Windows\System32\drivers
Izgleda da se ne loada kad makneš katalizatore....
Nego, što ti konkretno ne radi?

[segregator]

5.5 odjednom zacrni ekran (baci ga u power save mode)
5.1-5.4 kojekakvi artefakti po ekranu, zaglave windowsi nakon 10-20s

System info (kad bi uspio doći do njega prije nego stroj zaglavi) javlja konflikte između Radeon9800PRO i Via CPU to AGP controller

Pretpostavljam da bi potpuna reinstalacija riješila stvar, ali ne dolazi u obzir, postao sam prelijen za te stvari otkad su mi računala prestala biti sama sebi svrha

[Jelc]

Smartgart je dio drivera grafičke ali se čak i na ATI-jevom siteu može naći deinstalater za dotični

Kaj se tiče VIA drivera-ja sam kemijao drivere sa CD-a i nove.
A bogme mi je jedna verzija novih radila bez problema, pogledat ću koja pa javim.

Poželjno je imati AGP na 4x a ne na 8x.
Meni je npr. delalo na 8x ali je AGP Write opcija bila disejblana, na 4x je sve radilo fino i brzo a gubitaka u brzini nema.
