[DeeKay]

A sosaaameeeeeee

[Mymak]

Tak jsem je nainstaloval. Napoprve mi nefungovala hw akcelerace a nejel smartgart, asi proto, ze jsem se drzel doporuceni ATi a po nainstalovani ovladacu dal restart, a potom teprve jsem instaloval control panel. Napodruhe jsem jiz postupoval podle osvedcene metody - napred ovladac, pak hned control panel, a az pak restart - a ted je vse OK.

EDIT: prvni testik ve 3DMarku03 - narust z 5182 na 5336.

[Toxic]

Ja by som ich aj vyskusal, ale mam nahradnu dosku (K7S5A) a tam je to marne .

Taky sem nainstaloval na svy R9000, instaloval sem to pres stary ovladace, nejdriv drivery, pak CP pak restart a jelo to ok..

mno a poznatky:
-Enclave ma stale problemy se zobrazenim vody na my karte, takze se musej vypnout pixelshadery v configu hry. Ale hejbe se to s nopvejma driverama lip nez s 3.1 co sem mel predtim.
-Driv se mi u TVoutu stalo ze dyz sem mel theatre mode a nastaveny roztazeni na TV do fullscreenu, tak pri rychlejch pohybech se na TV objevilo neco jeko tearing, to s zda byt taky pryc, takze ja sem velmi spokojenej
- v rallisportu stale nekde problikavaji textury(stromy), ale to dela snad na kazdy karte, takze proste chybka hry

Ohledně toho Tv Out,kdyby si používal rage3d tweaker,tak tam se dá nastavit overlay theater mode a pak bys neměl tearing

[Chocen]

tak už jsem to taky zkusil, a mám asi +200 bodů v 3D Mark 2001 SE 330

mám tu hru krátce, tak jsem myslel , že za to mohou detonátory, teď jsem klidný

[TiGeR]

Uz ich sosaaaaaaaam....som zvedavy co to bude zac

[Champion]

nezbadal som ziadny rozdiel

[cLiVe]

NO ja som si všimol že NFS Hot Pursuid mi v spätnom zrkadle zobrazuje take čierne male kocky. 3.2 Catalysty to nerobili

[555]

Jedina zmena je padania Unreal2 a vsetkeho od Macromedie. Uchvatna verzia ovladacov

[Fireball]

ja taky ne ty ovladace sou ok

[Champion]

jedina vec ktora sa dala vyuzit ,ze som zvysil takt na mojej Manlicke inac nc

[Chocen]

ty taky ?? myslel jsem, že je to něčím jiným...paměti i gpu mi najednou jdou hodit o 10MHz víc , stabilně - prostě na hodnoty, které předtím stabilní nebyly...zvláště paměť....250MHz 4ns Hynix - předtím šla jen na 252 aby se obraz nezačal sypat, teď valí na 261 a možná půjde na víc...

Já právě musel zase jít dolů s jádrem a paměťma,zajímavé.

Už jsem je odstranil - hurááá!
Dvakrát to padlo při GTA VC,z toho podruhé nenaběhl systém(blue screen"HARD ERROR").
V obou případech zobrazovací zařízení nemohlo dokončit vykreslování....
V druhém případě ještě pomohla konzole .
Pak jsem zkusil Mafii,přepnu do win a zpět,vypl se monitor a konec.Už nepomohla ani konzole a hledat a zakazovat služby se mi fakt nechtělo.
Hodil jsem do kompu mou starou GF256, a win najeli OK.Pak jsem karty opět vyměnil cat3.4 hodně rychle odinstaloval a hodil zpět 3.2.
Fakt děsný sr..ky!!!

[555]

Vcera som zistil, co mi to zhadzuje a neuverite:



Tlacitka sipok (opacne T)!!!

Akonahle v Unreal tuknem do sipky, je dole a vygeneruje asertition error

Myslim, ze mam kandidata na banalnu chybu roku.

[Halen]

Všechno jede moc pěkně, hlavně na OpenGL asi zapracovali - Q3A jede mnohem plynuleji. Zatím jsem nenarazil na žádnej problém a instaloval jsem absolutně praseckým způsobem - jenom Setup pak restart a nastavení rozlišení.

[DeeKay]

Me taky slapou moc pekne
