djt Posted May 25, 2006 Posted May 25, 2006 I reformatted last night before installing the new 6.5’s. Much to my surprise the problem I was having with Cross Fire is gone. I no longer have to uninstall and then reinstall the Catalysts to get Cross Fire to work. I’m wondering if this has something to do with the MCE encoder failing to install with the previous Catalyst’s, as mentioned in ATI’s 6.5 release notes.

djt Posted May 25, 2006 Posted May 25, 2006 PL4YD34D, “difficult to troubleshoot coz you reformatted - theres a ton o bugs you could have removed when you did that an youll never know.” That’s just the thing, the Cross Fire problem I had before with the 6.3’s and 6.4’s was on a fresh OS install also.

red930 Posted May 25, 2006 Posted May 25, 2006 I've seen reviews on the 6.5 drivers over at Tweaktown and if their benchmarks are accurate there is a slight decrease in performance in OpenGL games and others. I mean the ATI Driver team took longer as expected and still didn't come up with any performance improvements on their new release R580, but only for the X1300 and X1600 and those cards are weak to begin with anyway, right?

MetaMaverick Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 (6.4 has problems with BF2)...sigh It does??? I am using them right now and have seen no problems with BF2. What problems were you having? Or was it a problem specific to CF? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghettoDLX Posted May 26, 2006 Posted May 26, 2006 Yes, it must be CF. I get major corruption in menu and in game..... example *only get the checker board when catalyst A.I. Disabled* but when enabled (how I usualy play) I get corruptin as seen behind the checkers.... http://putfile.com/pic.php?pic=5/14501295185.jpg&s=f5 this screen is with 6.5 drivers too....back to 6.3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
