bolji su 12.4 od 12.3..u svakoj igri imam po 5fpsa više..

Krenuli pravim putem? Ne bih baš rekao.

Instaliram drivere, restartam, pokrenem 3DMark06, nakon prvog testa crn ekran i zablokira.

Resetiram komp, pokrenem opet 3DMark. Na istom mjestu blok.

Opet resetiram komp. Počne Comodo IS zezat (ispitivat gluposti, stalno).

Provjerim Comodo, pokazuje grešku. Provjerim vrijeme pojave greške, točno tokom instalacije drivera.

Reinstaliram Comodo, isti problem. Maknem ga, stavima Avast 7 i sada sve radi.

Dakle novi 12.4 driveri i Comodo se baš nešto i ne vole.

U 3DMark06 najviše 12192 boda što god napravio, isto kao i s prošlim 12.3.

Dap, 12.3 7830, 12.4 8077

Jesu rijesili ono sa Command promptom kod startupa?

Fino da se jos i dalje supporta HD 6 serija ! 

Izlazit će driveri ubuduće i za starije kartice ali ne mjesećno već kvartalno.

a ima negdje za free Download?

@Nitrium

...posluzi se Google-om

Sad sam malo pogledao u Reliability Monitor i vidio da mi neki AMD Fuel service stalno pokazuje probleme.

Da li netko zna od cega je taj servis i da li ima nekog lijeka za to?

Inace sve radi OK i nikakvih problema, moguce je da je to do ovih novih 12.4 driverea.

  Najbolje od svega je što nisu slagali, testiranje u Unigine Heaven 2.5, 1920x1080, DX11, default postavke kaže da bez MLAA imam 40.3fps, a sa MLAA 39.3 (i da, videlo se da je AA prisutan)! Osim toga, čini se i da je rad drugih vrsta AA ubrzan, mada ne mogu da garantujem da li su ta poboljšanja  application specific ili ne (MLAA je shader koji se primenjuje na gotovu sliku i računam da radi svuda isto). Topla preporuka za ovaj set.

EDIT: Fuel Service je regularan Catalystov servis, mada to ne znači da ne postoji i malware koji se krije pod istim imenom.

Ponovo je driver 0MHz u MSI Afterburneru.

Ponovo onaj patch instalram. Nisu to resili 3 meseca.

Nisu rijesili ni ono sa Command Promptom kad mi se pali Windows to mi se svaki put pojavi totalno iritantno. Neznam sta da mislim vise o njima.
