    New AMD Catalyst 11.2 drivers available

    The complaints I had read about mouse lagging were from [H] and it was usually around the top right area of the desktop. Edit: http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1036852385&postcount=43 Guess it still exists. It doesn't happen for me in 10.10e so that's what I'll stick to. The systray...

    New AMD Catalyst 11.2 drivers available

    Has 11.2 fixed the mouse corruption/flicker in the systray area for anyone? I remember reading there was a mouse lagging issue as well. I hope these things are fixed.

    Does AMD/ATI make stable drivers?

    I'm also using the 10.10e on my 6850. I'm reluctant to go to the later versions since I read the mouse flicker still existed in the bottom right corner of the screen. One of the later versions even introduced some mouse lag I read. I'm not a big fan of the new UI either and since the mouse...

    Can 785G + 6850 = 4 monitors?

    I have a Gigabyte GA-MA785G-UD3H and for a short period I had a 23" LCD via DVI + 17" CRT via VGA so I doubt the VGA and DVI share a video controller. It's possible the DVI and HDMI do share the video controller like the ATI discrete cards. I don't have enough monitors with the right outputs...

    Anandtech 6850 comparison is up

    Yea I was more interested in cooler comparisons than O/Cing since O/Cing is very much YMMV. Disappointed to see it missing the Gigabyte and Sapphire models which are at present much more readily available than MSI and ASUS. Would someone knowledgeable about the 6850 dies say it is perfectly...

    Q: max-OC'd FTW GTX460 vs max-OC'd XFX Vapor Chamber 6850, which wins? Answer inside.

    See my post here regarding 6850 coolers: http://forums.anandtech.com/showpost.php?p=30670612&postcount=6 Gigabyte's dual fan might explain better performance than the ASUS DirectCu. The Sapphire cooler which keeps up with the Gigabyte one doesn't look half bad either...

    Please post in this thread if you are the owner of a 6850/6870.

    Hmm.. you're correct. The TPU review shows the same limits for their ASUS 6850. BIOS differences could indeed explain it. Sapphire 6850s seem to have 850/1200 as their limits but it makes me wonder how changing such a simple setting in Afterburner could enable cards to go beyond such limits.

    You cannot use CCC to break the 850MHz barrier. I am using MSI Afterburner. See my other post here: http://forums.anandtech.com/showpost.php?p=30687280&postcount=14

    HD6850/HD6870 Overclocking thread

    CCC won't do over 850MHz. Afterburner will if you enable unofficial overclocking in MSIAfterburner.cfg in your C:\Program Files (x86)\MSI Afterburner folder or where ever you installed it. I'm sitting at 930/1080 and it seems relatively stable. Some random game benches, 3DMark06, and 20...

    Please post in this thread if you are the owner of a 6850/6870.

    My Sapphire 6850 seems to be a pretty beastly overclocker. I have it at 930/1080 and it seems stable. I had to reduce it from 950 due to artifacting and 940 due to driver crashing so 930 so far seems good for stock voltage. My idle clocks seem to work fine at 100/300 on the stock profile...

    Custom Designed Color Fire HD6850

    From the reviews I've seen, the ASUS DirectCu, Gigabyte Windforce X2 and Sapphire (non Vapor X - just the plain single fan) all cool within a degree or 2 of one another. Nothing differentiating these custom cooled cards which is really disappointing. Sapphire + Gigabyte...

    6850 board length [SOLVED]

    Only the 6870's connect is located at the top. Look at the 4th pic in your own newegg link and you'll see the PCIe at the very end.

    HD 6800 Crossfire Scaling

    Thanks for the link! It also has a nice collection of 6850s so we can compare their coolers being tested via the same method in the same environment!:thumbsup:

    Am I ok with onboard ATI 4200 video?

    There are no problems with HD4200 for playing videos with a Phenom II X2 550. Although mine is unlocked to X4 and OC'd to 3.6GHz, it's perfectly capable. It'll even play semi-recent (within the past year) games at the lowest resolution/details at like 15 fps lol.

    HD 6870 launches Oct 21, slower than 5870?

    I still like to point out again that nothing on the slides say Barts is 68xx. Those slides could very well be from the Cayman material that according to those slides could launch Nov 21. If they hadn't blocked the month and if the month was indeed Oct then I would be more inclined to believe...

    What's the main difference between a same sized lcd monitor and tv?

    Don't TVs also advertise 60Hz and 120Hz? Perhaps the 30fps and motion blur is due to the signal sent by broadcasters rather than what the TV is capable of displaying.

    HD 6870 launches Oct 21, slower than 5870?

    Maybe it's just referring to the flagship launch guidelines despite launching mid-range. Who knows if it isn't referring to the Nov (possibly 21st lol) launch of the Cayment Pro/XT.
