Nice. I see they have fixed NOTHING that i need. LIKE AGP SUPPORT!...

<sigh> 8 years of ATI products, and now I have to find another vendor.

Cheers!

You boys sure do know how to instill confidence when it's needed. :-)

Don't pay any attention to the popping and smoke rising from the unit - all
is normal. It's just burning the mouse tracks out of the unit.

I beg to differ. All electronic devices, including computers, run on smoke.
As long as smoke stays inside, all is well. When smoke comes out of the
device, it stops working.
 
Actually, the Cat 7.12s aren't bad. Fixed the stupid disappearing-wallpaper
bug with Crossfire enabled, and doesn't appear to have ****ed up anything
else over Cat 7.11.
 
Yes just went to the dark side here.. after trying every driver from 7.6 to
7.11 on a VISIONTEK HD 2400 PRO (AGP) I have left... Most of the time the
machine would just reboot at random.. hard no warning boots.. scrambling one
machines harddrive... oh yea I even tried that p.o.s. card in another
machine...

Now granted the N card I bought was only a 6200 but.. nice stable quick
boots ...no CCC BS.. no reboots .. and the DX9 3D games even play..

I don't know how long I ran ATI cards. First one I had was an AIW ISA card
with an S3 chip I my brain is no today.... 10--12 years...

Oh well enough rant ... it did take Visiontek to make me see the light and
go to the dark...

Just get a nvidia card and chuck the ati...amd shi
 
Cat 7.12 drivers are working fine for me. They've fixed the Cat 7.11
installer bug.

Nice. I can't blame it on the 2nd party manufacturer of my x1950 either. I
just popped my ATI 9800 PRO in and it fails the Direct3D tests as well.

This is on an a7n8x-e deluxe <-- You don't think it's cause the nforce2
chipset? Hmmm. who else is having problems and what chipset is on their
mobo? AMD/ATi Conspiracy theory anyone?

I also have the A7N8X Deluxe, with a Sapphire X850XT PE (OC 570/620),
and it passes all tests. Sorry, but you're barking up the wrong tree.
I used a PowerColor 9700 Pro before this card and had no problems.

+1 first nvidia card ever. Good news is it isn't too bad.

Good timing since I'm probably going to try linux out.
 
I went from 7.2 -> 7.12.
Started a game (simple adventure one DX9, "And Then there were none" from
The Adventure Company.)
Tried to examine an item in my inventory.
Game crashed
Got a Virus alert from Windows:
Win32/PSW.Lineage.DN
nothing in security center logs

scanned with McAfee, nothing found.

started game again and not crashing (so far).

I went from 7.10 to 7.12 and it has totally FUBARed the
reflections/refractions/shineyness of the sea in SL, now it is just as
bad as it is with the Vista ATI drivers :( (I am currently running XP
pro)
