ATi Catalyst Control Center

OK, installed the new 4.9 Catalyst drivers with the new improved control panel..

Now, I have a TV that is connected with the S-video output of my 9600XT which then plugs into the RCA at the back of the television. Now I thought the new control panel made it easier to configure but where is the option to change the output from NTSC to PAL -- since my TV doesn't support NTSC, its Black and White!

Help! :pinch:

TV OUT is black and white with a PAL-M or PAL-N television

    When an ATI product with TV OUT (sometimes called "PC2TV") is configured to OUTPUT a television signal to a PAL-M or PAL-N TV, the picture will appear black and white on the television.

    Many ATI products (such as the ALL-IN-WONDER Family) offer video INPUT in multiple broadcast standards. North American versions of these products typically support capture in NTSC, PAL-M and PAL-N formats.

    TV OUT, however, is limited to NTSC ONLY on these North American models.

    PAL-format TV OUT is supported by some European models of our products, however PAL-M and PAL-N output support is not included in the European version either.

    ATI TV OUT capable products do not support TV OUT in native PAL-M and PAL-N formats.

    Most televisions sold in PAL-M and PAL-N regions also support NTSC signals.

    Some TV's may adapt automatically to the format of the incoming signal, while others must be "switched" or "adjusted". Consult your television documentation to determine whether your TV supports NTSC input and how to configure it.

Pretty crappy, there was a option in the old drivers!

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By ikjadoon · Posted

      It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.

      Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.

      I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.

      It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
