cacoe Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 What's the hotfix all about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToneKnee Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 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.

cacoe Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 So does this mean openCL is mainstream for ATI and nVidia now? If so, I hope Adobe CS6 includes support for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObiWanToby Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 So the OpenCL driver is separate still. I really want GPU computing to take off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ci7 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 did they fix HDMI overscan bug ? also i heard that the hotfix is for HD6xxx only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoneyardBrew Member Posted October 22, 2010 Member Share Posted October 22, 2010 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.

John.D Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyJack Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
