It would be nice if Windows 7 could utilise OpenCL/DirectCompute and not just support them. Would be cool to get some performance boost regardless of how little or in only certain situations. A boost is a boost.

What's the hotfix all about?

For the new 6850/6870 cards.

I just love that the ATI drivers are screwing with the color temperatures and turning everything white/gray into a light pink.

It hadn't happened to me before, then it happened in Ubuntu and I figured it was just because of the shoddy support Linux gets from ATI, so I finally managed to change that.

I can't even find the option now though in the Windows control panel.

Edit:

For ****s sake, I uninstalled the drivers and everything is still pink.

Did you reboot after installing the 10.10?

So, did you need both?? 10.10 and the hotfix?? With 10.9 I did (I just installed the hotfix), because of bejeweled (the free version that was advertised on here)

Edit, looks like installing 10.10 by itself was OK. Bejeweled still works (with 10.9, I had to uninstall 10.9 and install the hotfix to fix it)

Exact same problem, :( How do I fix this? I've rebooted and uninstalled etc

Yup, several times. Still doesn't work after uninstalling and rebooting.

I really wish I knew. This is really annoying.

Do you know if the 4000 series will be able to use openCL? I know that newer features are only added to the latest cards but d@mn. The 4000 series is not that old yet and it would be nice to have improvements.

if my memory serve me right

it is supported by some obscure devs driver

    • This Samsung T7 external SSD deal lasts less than a day by Sayan Sen Recently we had covered some nice deals of internal NVMe SSDs which include the 4TB TeamGroup G50 for only $400, the WD_BLACK SN7100 2TB for just $243, as well as the Samsung 990 PRO 1TB for $370. If however you require an external SSD for portability and quick data transfers and have a budget of less than $200 the Samsung T7 1TB model is currently on a limited time deal at just $190, it's lowest price in nearly three months. The deal ends today so you better hurry if you need one (purchase link below). The T7 weighs in at just 72 grams meaning it should be fairly easy to carry around helping in the portability department. Via its USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface the T7 promises sequential read speeds of up to 1050 MB/s and writes of 1000 MB/s. It is also fairly robust with a drop protection of up to 2 meters, though bear in mind that this is not waterproof. For that you will have to choose the rugged T7 Shield. The technical specifications of the Samsung T7 1TB are given in the table below: Specification Value Model Code (1TB) MU-PC1T0T / MU-PC1T0H Interface USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) Dimensions (W × H × D) 85 × 57 × 8 mm Weight 72 g Sequential Read Speed Up to 1,050 MB/s Sequential Write Speed Up to 1,000 MB/s Drop Resistance Up to 2 m (6.6 ft) Encryption AES 256-bit hardware encryption Operating Temperature 0°C to 60°C Non-Operating Temperature -40°C to 85°C Humidity 5% to 95% (non-condensing) Shock Resistance 1,500 G, duration 0.5 ms, 3-axis (non-operating) Vibration Resistance 20–2,000 Hz, 20 G (non-operating) Get it at the link below: Samsung T7 Portable SSD, 1TB External Solid State Drive, MU-PC1T0T/AM, Gray: $189.98 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • I just wish they would put more love into Virtual Desktops. There is just so much more they could do.
    • Sounds like you just skimmed over the review, I answer all those questions in it. Although I admit I did not test if DTS works over the headphones, when I get some time I will test this. My personal use case is more speaker-driven (I cover this in the review too).
    • It actually does the same exact thing as yours, 7.1 virtual surround over headphones. From the product page: "Experience sound that surrounds you with 7.1 virtual surround, delivering a wider, more immersive soundstage for movies, games, and music." So both of them are two channel, with 7.1 virtual surround that only work in Headphones mode.
