Doesn't seem to say anything about the two things I've been waiting for:
OpenGL 3.3/4.0 support
OpenCL support

Oh no you again?

Every ATI thread with a positive or good news has one or more posts of you saying how great Nv is doing and bla bla bla.

This is about 10.5, not about 256. How do you know for sure that they shot their load with the 10.3's??? Do you work for them? Got inside info? Links? Bet not so shut it

To get back on target. I'm using the 10.4's with no issues, but have read a few quirks among other message boards with users running the 10.5's.

Anyone upgraded from 10.3's or .4's with positive results? I think i'm going to stick with the 10.4's for now.

I had no problems going from 10.3 to 10.4, i might skip 10.5 and wait for the next release hoping there's enough going on to make wanna install the new one

No kidding, it's getting really old. I do wish he'd stop cheerleading for NV in every ATI thread, it's bad enough that he feels the need to start almost every Green discussion on the forum.

I for one am very happy with 10.5s,mind you I don't normally get problems with ATi drivers so these very stable drivers are the norm for me 🙂.

As for drivers in general ,you can always find a few unhappy people on both sides,even Nvidia fans have had their moans and groans with Nvidia drivers,you can't please everybody.

I don't see how that is possible considering that the "most important bit" to any gamer is DirectX, which is not even present on a Linux box.

I can run most DirectX games on Linux at roughly the same speed as Windows. The only troublesome ones are with wacky copy protection, but directx 9 (and some of 10) is not a problem.

DirectX is indeed present on Linux. Both as a cloned library *or* running Microsoft's own DLLs. The compatibility layer is called Wine, and it's been around for ages. It works and performs well with nvidia drivers.
 
Who do I message to ask that Happy Medium gets a vacation?

I am tired of him coming in to every AMD thread and derailing it, and even though I have him set to ignore (which is a pretty exclusive group mind you), it doesn't matter, because as soon as I see that "This message is hidden because happy medium is on your ignore list. " message, the rest of the thread is about something completely different than the original post.

That was fixed in 10.3 so it's not news any more.
Click to expand...

It definitely was not fixed whatsoever for me with 10.3 or 10.4 and I have emailed their driver team. My GTX260 in my light gaming/HTPC rig with a 5400rpm hard drive load the BC2 maps substantially faster than the 10,000 rpm Velociraptor and 5970 I have for my main setup.
 
I didn't really notice BC2 load time changes when I installed these, but I'm not sitting there with a timer. I forgot to turn on my 2nd monitor to test out the other fix, but since you guys say it's working, then I guess it's working.
 
Weird....But my desktop defaults to 400 core 1300 memory? Oh well guess I'll run the windows performance thing and see if it'll bump it up to 7.9's instead of 7.8's

Strange as I look'd at the bios and highest default was 400/1200 wtf?

Just use the "report post" button under his name.
 
It's OK, the NV Fan Club gets a free pass to troll, that's Anandtech for you.

Going to install these when I get home tonight, I love new drivers 😀.

It is a DX11 thing.
 
With a fresh install of 10.4, flash videos started crashing the driver while everything else is rock stable. Did some googling and found very few posts that suspected powerplay to be responsible for this. Only happens when the core/memory is overclocked, even ever-so-slightly. Was hoping 10.5 would address this but I still have that problem.

10.6 is suppose to increase performance in 4x and 5x cards.
Click to expand...

SInce the 10.3's, I no longer have any dual monitor flickers or driver not responding errors or bad power saving clocks.
I curently have the 10.4 's installed and feel no need for the 10.5's.
I usually don't change drivers unless there is a problem or a nice performance increase.

Any links to the supposed 10.6 performance increase?

@ fanboys
P.S, you guys want some cheese with that troll? or mabe some tissues. 🙂

Try downloading the latest version of flash. That cleared up the stuttering and freezing issues for me.
 
It seems the new 10.5's might cause your clocks to run higher 400/1200 instead of my usual 157/300 at idle, when using the overdrive function.

I think this is the way they fixed the flickering problem for some people with dual monitor setups.
It seems they kept the 400/1200 clocks for single monitor setups as well? More power draw = more heat and noise.
If you don't have a problem with the 10.4's, I suggest not upgrading unless you have to.

No, I think we just want you to keep your NV propaganda out of every ATI thread. You got it now? Is that simple enough, or do you need someone to draw you a picture?
