Re: ATI Catalyst 11.7 Software Suite
works?

how did the other nots work?

While i would say that under vista for this set not having Aero interface is kind of a big thing in a way.

Re: ATI Catalyst 11.7 Software Suite
guess i don't have much information on them... most of the new machines are all intel HD graphics..... ... just my home machine is running 11.6's... and haven't had any issues.

actually since purchasing power DVD 11... and updating to 11.6... i can run a blu-ray that covers the entire span of the eyefinity setup.. which kicks ass cause the powerdvd 9 wouldn't even start with a single monitor enabled in portrait mode.

Re: ATI Catalyst 11.7 Software Suite
Good news everyone, the nasty OpenCL driver bug that caused system to freeze when, say, you started a YouTube video while doing Folding@Home, is supposed to be fixed in this release. What I can vouch for is that it is indeed fixed in the 11.8 Preview. Farnsworth out.

Let's hope it's fixed now!

Edited to add:
Yes! Finally it works just as it should! Had to uninstall and install drivers twice though, don't know what went wrong the first time..

Re: ATI Catalyst 11.7 Software Suite
I've got 11.7 installed and every thing is going flawlessly, I run a duel boot system so right now it only installed under Win7 64 Ultimate. I'll test it later under Win XP 32. I never installed 11.6 as I noticed that people that normally didn't have any problems with new drivers were reporting problems. SoI skipped it and stuck with 11.2 as I got my best results with it. But 11.7 is run and the results are just alittle improvement in the one and only game I play (X series from EgoSoft).

There is a 11.8 Preview driver Here... May work for you but treat it as a Beta Driver.
