Re: ATI Catalyst 8.9 Now Available

I have been using 8.9 for a few days and all is going really well.

It is the only version i have been able to use since 8.5

Re: ATI Catalyst 8.9 Now Available

I have to say I'm not having so much luck with this one.
The driver seems to work ok. I get a very nice picture etc etc etc,
BUT, the damn pc refuses to go to sleep.
Currently I have withdrawn to 8.8 but that has some issues too.

I found 8.5 and 8.6 to be very stable. I am still using 8.9 without any issues.

Re: ATI Catalyst 8.9 Now Available

8.6 solved my issue, which was a No Signal when switching the plasma from VMC's DVI interface to FOxtel IQ's, and then back again (Foxtel always dislayed).
Why might I want 8.9?

Re: ATI Catalyst 8.9 Now Available

Im using 8.9 due to the forced 1080p50hz option and aside from some occasional fine black lines appearing, im happy with it.

Re: ATI Catalyst 8.9 Now Available

It would have been good if it fixe the "atikmdag.sys" BSOD that has plagued vista since it was beta.
