Thread stuck

MindlessOath · Dec 8, 2005, 07:46 PM

no control panel? they rushed this because dell leaked the drivers on the ftp.

FnF · Dec 8, 2005, 08:14 PM

Bah, no Control Panel, I will stick with the 5.11's, or I will use the previous CP from the 5.11 release, or just the drivers and ATT, since that is working fine as always

Rushed them because of the Dell leak? This isn't the first time a driver is leaked you know.

It isn't prank... I've downloaded the drives

Vikingod · Dec 8, 2005, 08:36 PM

I have a feeling this is the end of the line for the control panel guys, saw it coming a while ago. I'd get used to the CCC if I were you.

mkk · Dec 8, 2005, 08:42 PM

Or use something like ATI Tray Tools without any control panel at all. Should work fine for most.

griswoold · Dec 8, 2005, 08:47 PM

you can use the cp from earlier cats with cat 5.12 drivers

Thanks Terry, but I still hoped ATi hosted the CP, it is still better then CCC. Well, then I will use ATT always (Even though I always used it).

Raptor · Dec 8, 2005, 08:56 PM

Has "Adaptive anti-aliasing" been enabled for my 850xtpe in this release?

Jerunk · Dec 8, 2005, 09:24 PM

My CSS Source benchmark dropped 14 fps, I have Dual Xeons :|.

Perhaps Adaptive AA is enabled?

Edit: nope checked the registry, it's not enabled.
