They're constant updates to make sure the latest cards are supported and bugs are fixes as well as some minor performance improvements, etc. I'd rather have monthly updates than none at all. heh.

You hinting at a certain other competitor? :rofl:

Damn, I'm not sure if I'm happy to have come back to ATI... Always install drivers all months is worst as Windows updates... >_<

So you envy NVIDIA users who beg the company to release new drivers every few months? :rolleyes:

Nah, just because I did an uptime of 50Days with my 7900GTO :rofl:

Anyway, I'm not complaining about the numerous updates, I'm complaining because I always reinstall them but after though about it, maybe it was useless...

Btw, I removed back to ATi because nVIDIA lost me. Notice also that I moved to nVIDIA last year because ATi drivers sucked, they got better but nVidia really sank with their new CP + Vista.... Well, any nVIDIA users understand me I think.

This tread reminds me that I need to change my sig...

hmm, not think i'll try these though a little system restore before methinks, currently using vista drivers and working so much better than the 7.2 ones.

Not sure you made a lick of sense...

Are you using the 7.3's?

I will install them on my notebook in a few minutes and my desktop when i get home.

Thanks OP.... Download went fast

An update, specially for a fresh released OS like Vista, is never useless. I'll be more than happy to update every week if it'll fix the long standing list of issues we have :(

I totally agree with you that NVIDIA drivers really suck now, so lets not ruin the joy of ATI cards owners :D

    • I'm hoping with the Surface Pro 12, I can use either USB-C for my Xreal One Pro glasses. With my Surface Pro 11 OLED X Elite, I have to plug them into the top port. The bottom port will power it, but nothing shows on the screen. Maybe it's my setting. When I plug in the glasses, I have it output only to the glasses. So maybe I need to turn on both displays with it in the top port, then switch the glasses to the bottom port and set it to output only to the glasses. And then hopefully Windows remembers the settings for either the top port and bottom port (one of the awesome features of Windows where it remembers the exact configuration when plugging in external monitors.
    • Forgive my ignorance, but the only difference I see here is that a USB-A is now a USB-C, so there are two of them. For the modern age (and I'd argue since 2020), most products would now come with USB-C as an option, if not the default. Display, charging, devices, etc on TWO connectors, sometimes all combined! So having 2 of those powerful ports is great for something this size! Meanwhile my Surface Pro (5) has a single USB-A port which I cannot even get display out to, instead relying on some Surface Connect dock which I don't have. That is a poor experience, not to mention expensive and not compatible with other devices. Thank God USB-C is mainstream!
    • wow. that color finally comes to Surface Pro. was always a little jelly when a friend had the sandstone Surface Laptop. I wonder how different this dune is from the sandstone. I'll be getting the dune version. always thought black and platinum were a little boring. I'll still have access to my blue Surface Pro 11 as it'll be a hand-me-down.
    • Looks a very subjective aren't they!? I like its simple design. I love the way Apple designs their products with function over form, minimalization, and simplicity over cluttered complex designs. Many, not all, of their products follow this trend, and the device becomes a tool rather than dominating the space. I do not however like their OS. I have never bought a Apple product, and while I'd consider the Neo for my wife, I am hoping there are better alternatives out there when her failing MacBook Pro 2017 finally stops. Fischer-Price is famously plastic, garish, and poorly made. Basically you're describing the Window Laptops the Neo competes against! This is how product design should be, and what Apple have often followed in recent years: https://tenprinciples.design/
    • Isn't that true for every codec? I remember having to buy a PCI MPEG-2 decoder card just so I could play DVDs on my computer back in the late 90s. AV1 support is still fairly new.
