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

    • I'm not sure about that, but it at least "does" a version of 7.1 that this brand new card doesn't....

    • I can barely recall getting web results from a file search... I must've turned it off long ago. 26H2 is Insider's Preview build 26300.8697, which I am running, atm. It is not available for people running the standard commercial builds of Windows--only for the beta test Insider's group. But anyway, as mentioned in the thread, this feature has been around for a long time...
    • Speak for yourself. I saw it on Feedly, came here to read it, and did read it until the steps to activate. I skipped them to read the last paragraph. I knew it was probably not "the most requested feature", but knowing Neowin, I knew the article was going to talk about a feature nonetheless. I've seen Neowin in its best and worst.
    • See if this article I wrote the other day works for you.
