I'm wondering if I should install this. It offers no apparent benefit to my HD 4870.

That would be nice, right. I have two 4870X2. Seems to me that if a feature is not dependent on an instruction set that is GPU specific then they should allow it for older cards too. But they do not want to support older cards and just move on. That is terrible considering that older cards are not obsolete. Just another excuse and more e-waste.

I am always under the assumption that it helps all cards, especially all DX 10.1 + cards. We will be getting a new faster AA mode that the driver will do using directcompute.

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.

Thank god, I thought my monitor was failing. You can really notice it on the Chrome (or -ium) interface...

* Update

Set your color temperature in the Monitor pane (CCC -> Desktops n Displays -> Right-click your monitor, Configure -> Color) to 6500K instead of the default 6600K and you're back to the old default settings which -should- look correct.

Wow, that fixed it. I thought I was going crazy.

Thanks a lot! cool.gif

I found this panel while I was in Ubuntu and experienced this problem, but couldn't find it for the life of me in Windows.

Every time I install the new package, the Catalyst Control Manager fails to start, and only a complete uninstall of everything, including manual deletion of all ati folders, followed by a reinstall fixes it.

It's been this way for the past 5 or 6 updates. I'm not sure how to avoid this...

And for once you don't require cards that cost arm + leg to use DirectCompute and all those *other* fancy features that are supposed to be part and parcel of DX 11!

OpenCL-related features and DirectCompute were supposed to be part and parcel of DX 11 support (which meant it should have been part of Evergreen's support from the top down); Catalyst 10.9 brought it to the middle-end HD5xxx cards (everything except Cedar), and 10.10 lets us Cedar owners in on the fun. DirectCompute-based AA will certainly be useful in SC II (that is one game that I can run in 1280x720 at High detail (yes; Cedar-based hardware will do that) - however, High detail pretty much demands AA).

It's a shame that no version of Bejeweled (or any other casual game) supports AA (Bejeweled Twist and Blitz scale tall enough where adding support for AA wouldn't hurt performance any).

Still no fix for the dxva bug, corrupted/pixelate image, when playing most mkv (and some avi) files.

Very disappointed, since this bug was reported for years.

What player are you using? No such problem over here using the latest VLC (1.1.4) and MPHC (1.4.2691), while playing DXVA supported media.

Damn this color thing is totally messed up.... sure, setting it to 6500k fixes it. BUT I use 120 for saturation and as soon as I even only move one of the sliders by 1, the pink shade returns regardless of the color temperature..... :angry:

Any pics of the pink shade on you guys? I'm not getting such bug (luckily), though I feel odd for some reason.

Well I'm not sure if you can even screen capture it, because I don't know if the changes in Catalyst are just post processed or applied to the Windows output itself.

Well, perhaps taken from a camera might do, if one doesn't mind the hassle. :p

Let me see if my iPhone can do it :p

EDIT: My iPhone makes it seem way more extreme then it really is but yeah....

EDIT 2: I temporarily found a personal workaround for not being able to change the saturation properly, I set my monitor to Movie Mode instead of Office Mode, now the image is oversharpened but I will rather live with a oversharpened image than dull or wrong colors :p

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Jaybonaut · Posted

      Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.

      You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?

      Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
