you guys with the 6970's try underclocking your cards and see what happens

You mean the ones with 6950 unlocking the shaders to 6970 don't you?

Ive got the damn blue lines too...I'm still on 11.4, but it is kinda depressing. Sounds and those lines are really the only problems that annoy me online!

This is why I allways stay with nvidia. You can have a very low cost powerfull hardware, but with bad drivers... all is a mess.

Such Bullshit! If you always stick with Nvidia how do you know the ATI or AMD drivers are shit? Based on one very poorly programmed sim that doesn't even make enough sales to register on either Nvidia's or AMDs radar?

I build and support systems with both types of cards (Nvidia and AMD) and I can assure you they both have their problems with drivers.

Sick and tired of morons telling us AMD suck because of bad drivers, then they go on to say they always buy Nvidia... how the f%$k would you know then!

Wow! chill out ICDP, it was just a comment....

No need to explode like this, we are all poor guys waiting for a good patch and some good SLI (ehem... Crossfire) drivers!


~S~


PS. and some good fans, too (just crossed the 92°C on my GPUs yesterday...)

I have installed some ATI cards time ago, so I know. Never again. Also I read a lot of game forums, and 80% times there are problem with drivers, here you have ATI.
I have also worked in 3D game engines development and the drivers problems or unsupported specifications where always with ATI.
It is a nonsense not to recognize that ATI drivers are worse than nvidia when talking about lastest graphic technologies.

ATI has such crappy drivers! There was a study done to see what the biggest causes of Windows Vista crashes was and 9.3% were due to ATI drivers. Heck, that's almost 1/3 as bad as Nvidia! Shame on you ATI!

You just keep telling us how things really are Ailantd. I know that you are not just repeating things you heard on message boards stated by idiots who still think it's 1999 and that ATI doesn't account for over half the graphics market.
