Do most people just install over their old drivers?

ALso, any fixes for Fallout Vegas and/or Fallout Vegas Crossfire support?
Civ 5 crossfire support?

Does the hotfix link work w/ 64 bit Win 7? I installed the base 10.10 from 10.9, and then applied the hotfix as linked on top of that.

I've never had a problem installing over top of old drivers. The hotfix does work for Win7 64-bit. I did get the pink issue everyone is talking about but gonna try the reset to defaults in a minute and see if that fixes it.

This release enabled overdrive on an oem (HP) 5770.

Cool.

Edit:
Hmmmm....Overdrive was only available on first run. Now the option is gone.

Edit 2:
GPUZ says my clocks are set at what overdrive had setup for auto. Weird.

Yay, after 10.4 these current drivers are working.. no more BSOD for my mix and match setup. The only issue I have is with DiRT 2.. crossfire is not working, all other games seem to work fine, just DiRT 2. Can anyone with a Crossfire setup confirm that?

DiRT 2 is working fine for HD 68x0 CrossFire-X using Catalyst 10.10 and the latest CF profile.
(i.e. HD 6870 + HD 6850 at reference speeds)

i get 44.3 FPS average at 2560x1600 with Ultra settings plus 8xAA with a single HD 6870 (50.9 with HD 5870) using my Core i7 920 @ 3.8 GHz/6 GB DDR3/x58 MB in the DX11 DiRT 2 benchmark build into the retail game.

Adding a HD 6850 to my HD 6870 now in FrankenFire, that 44.3 FPS increases to 73. Awesome CrossFire-X scaling for brand new Barts mis-matched cards with launch drivers.

Wow, Awesome numbers there. :thumbsup:

Eagerly waiting for the review on ABT.

Thanks for the reply, I installed my drivers on top of 10.4.. will perform a clean install and report back.

I am still on 10.4 don't feel like messing up my system while the going is good or to deal with the pink issue.

If these drivers actually gave me more fps or better performance I would upgrade then. Otherwise I am not risking it.

If you are reverting back to another version of drivers beware be sure and uninstall the drivers the right way and use a driver cleaner. If not the mipmap setting is grayed out in ccc and will not let you adjust.

i just installed the 10.10 hotfix drivers and i lost AA options - there is no AA check box at all!

Now i am going back and using AMD's driver removal tool for a clean install of 10-10a. i am wondering if morphological AA has its own AA tab :p

Will explore

MLAA doesn't have it's own tab. There's a checkbox for it on the AA tab of CCC to turn it on or off.

I'm running the 10.10a with the MLAA hack on my HD5850. Great performance in general. MLAA works too with amazing results. It's in the AA section, a tick box above the slider for the filter multiplier (at work now, can't post screenshots).

And I don't know if anyone was confused, but this MLAA is an extra filter. If you tick it, it will be forced on everything. So you can have MSAA/AMSAA/SSAA + MLAA at the same time. If you want MLAA only, make sure the tick is selected on MLAA and that CCC doesn't force AA too (or it's selected in-game).

Can't get 10.10c to install.....it just errors out and stops responding each time I try any install it. (Possibly why it was taken down?) (Win7 64 Ultimate)
Its back up, I'll try the official reposting.

I think something did change. The old version kept giving error on install for me, the new REPOST installed fine.
