[Player-X]

at least the CP is smaller

>.< great so they managed to make a 3 yr old proggie smaller...i wish they wud make CCC run better/faster instead. and add radiance dammit

i wish they wud make CCC run better/faster instead.

me too, maybe the M$ dot net framework is to blame

So... are these any good? I think I will still wait for Omega's and the usual website that decides to compare the new omegas/ati vs the old omega/ati driver sets. Why would you even use CCC in the first place, blah.

Grrrr... I don't know why, but the bug that occured in 4.12 is still there
AMD CPU+4.12/5.1=Artefacts on textures ....

I have an AMD CPU (XP 2500+ Barton) and I'm running a Radeon 9500 with the 4.12 Catalysts. I'm not getting any texture artifacts at all.

Edit: Check with ATItool if you get artifacts there too, if that's the case you should clock down either core or memory a few MHz to ensure stability.

Tadam!
I had to clean my drivers in a very special way to get them working...
the method is similar to formatting, but it's only for drivers.
4.11 were very bugged after cleaning, 5.1 are working just fine..
ATI has to learn how to make a decent installer for drivers ;p
