new ATI drivers 7.12

[robtek]

on the desert map i get snow capped mountains in a ca. 10km circle around me but only when a map is reloaded like at by.sturmovik.de:21004 when the same map is reloaded with a different Frontline.
When i start the game everything is fine.

Hhhmmmmm...are either of you guys using an AGP card? If so, that's most likely the problem. The last couple of CAT releases have not 'played nice' with the AGP cards.

The last good CAT version that worked with all of the AGP cards was 7.6.

i had the same problem with the previous ati drivers, so had to revert to an older version as well (using a 1950pro AGP card btw)

@oldbuzzard

robtak roll back to the 7.11s.Lots pf people have reported problems with 7.12s and the x1950's.

Yes, what Uther said is correct. I have a PCI-E 1950Pro and my FPS went down by a third with the 7.12 Cats. I went back to 7.11 which runs fine (best drivers for ages, imo).

Conversely, a wingie with an x2900xt reports significant improvements to FPS and IQ using the 7.12s

no i have Dual X1600 Crossfire running but after a couple of reboots and seems to be running fine now.

I believe there High Definition drivers thats why.


yes I did lose about 175 FPS from the benchmarks.

This is true as a quick glimpse on the forums over at guru3d will show. Hopefully the 8.1s are not too far off and offer a fix for those with 19xx series.

S!
