Catalyst 5.9 Released

Setting Anti-Aliasing to 4x in the Catalyst Control Center no longer results in a blank window or an error message being displayed when launching Java plug in

I really hope that is true, installing now to find out

Mayro · Sep 21, 2005, 04:38 PM

That bug in SKOTR 2 really pissed me off and I played through the game by changeing the ingame settings every time it did that. Made the level take twice as long as should have.

Id be interested in getting the real version of that game instead of the hacked up one that we got after they had to edit a ton of the game out.... Would be nice if the ending actualy made any sense.... They cut out whole areas of that game.

Any performance boosts in CSS?

UnTouchAble · Sep 21, 2005, 04:39 PM

Improvnemt in BF2?

Sorry, but this one has got me laughing tears with every new CAT version.

Your 'fix' slows down other parts of the game so isnt recomended.

Any Performance Enhacements?

Dazog · Sep 21, 2005, 07:43 PM

Once .net 2.0 final is released will CCC support 2.0?

I mean Once the final is released to the public

Mayro · Sep 21, 2005, 07:58 PM

CCC 5.6 5.7 5.8 all work with Beta 2 of DOTnEt, so why doesnt 5.9? Im getting CLI errors now.

Robert McClelland · Sep 21, 2005, 08:12 PM

I did redone the 3dmark03 again I scored 6351 wow! I had the wait for vertical sync default off instead off off

Otherwise, I just now got the new 5.9s installed and need to spend some time seeing how they perform. I might be gone awhile.

Have you tried this?
http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail...l/1074728381/1

latest build.. I am going to try it now.

better d/l link...... I am using 0.24 right now because I had problems with later builds.. I am using Omegas now, but I used CCC with this 0.24 version before..

You dont need the CCC running in the background for the driver to work.

theonlybabyface · Sep 21, 2005, 09:02 PM

These drivers seem nice so far. However, I have noticed that there are now three CLI processes running at all times with this release whereas in Cat 5.8's, only two would run until you launched the CCC and then the third would show up and close once CCC was closed. Now all three CLI processes run regardless of whether or not CCC is launched or not.

Anyone else notice this???

That sux if it is true.. I will let you know when I get these installed.

It's been that way for awhile now the are 3 running and if your disable
the task bar application you'll then have two. When you install CCC the
taskbar is enabled by default so if you disabled it in the past that why
you have 3 now. It been discused in previous release threads.

One is the run time, one is CCC dashboard, one is the task bar
application each process only takes up a few MB of ram but I disable the
taskbar application as its one less. thing to load when windows starts and
I never use it anyway.

There is something "some what" new wonder if anyone will notice

I have to disagree with you on that Neon. I have my two other machines running Cat 5.8's with CCC installed and there are only two CLI processes running with the task bar app running. I'll give a print screen if you'd like but it was well documented that the "bonus" of Cat 5.8's w/CCC was that only the third CLI process showed up after CCC was launched and then went away afterwards.

Dyre Straits · Sep 21, 2005, 09:29 PM

Why do I get a 403 error code when I click the Release Notes link in Z's first post?

Edited for emphasis.

Stephen M. Smit · Sep 21, 2005, 09:36 PM

What's with all this new "leech" crap at ATI site? You can't link into it anymore so links in 1st post above do not work. In fact, when I navigate directly to the driver page and click on the release notes, I can't see it -- claims I'm still leeching?

In fact, every single link to somewhere on the ATI found on every page here and in every other forum stopped working when they changed their web site a few months. This is really annoying because these links found in posts here are almost always the *only* way to get to various technical notes. The search function on ATI's site has never worked. Please fix it, ATI!

Stephen M. Smit · Sep 21, 2005, 09:41 PM

Also, thank you ATI for including the "classic" cp in this release. Last month was supposed to be our last classic cp, no? So getting another one in this release is a pleasant surprise.

Yard Waste · Sep 21, 2005, 10:10 PM

BF2 still crashes to Desktop on launch (yes I deleted, Yes I used DC pro in safe mode). No improvement with this prob for me.

Yeah I remember the 5.8 w/ CCC had fewer CLI processes than the 5.7's.. I don't have them installed- I have Omega's installed. But I definitely remember that.

I also noticed only two CLI.exe instances on 5.8. I haven't installed CCC on 5.9 yet.

BWX · Sep 21, 2005, 10:26 PM

I am going to install them now..

nitrousoxide52 · Sep 21, 2005, 10:38 PM

Also installing em now

ViRuS2k · Sep 21, 2005, 11:10 PM

downloading now

lots of fixes is very good and all but what about the F.E.A.R optimizations ? or Tweaks.

the game gets released on OCT 18th next month and the drivers where released on the 22nd september that means the game will be released and no drivers will be optimized for it

then again its only 4 days then the next set will be released.

PLEASE PLEASE TWEAK/OPTIMIZE this game for the next set

DavoNogo · Sep 21, 2005, 11:35 PM

To everyone having problems loading up the release notes page: restart computer. It solved the problem for me.

BWX · Sep 21, 2005, 11:44 PM

I just installed them.. installation went very smooth.

When I close down the system tray menu I only have 2 CLI processes going.. The mem usage on them jumps all over the place, but it relatively low..

It goes from 1,400kb each to about 5,000kb...

When I shut the CCC down they start out at about 1,400kb each- then they jump around all over the place from 1,400 to 5,000 or so.. Then one settles down to around 3,400 and the other to around 4,800 or so.. but they jump around.

The VM size is about 35,000kb on one and 41,000kb on the other... pretty solid but it changes a little.

I remember the 5.8 w/ CCC only had one instance of the CLI I think- after disabling the system tray menu .. I would have to re-install them to be absolutely sure though..

PS- I miss my 1200 x 900 resolution I get with Omega drivers as usual. I wish ATI would add a custom resolution feature.
