I don't like Windows 7 Pro 64bit So Far... It's lousy

[cheez]

Your card is worthless now. It's not supported even by a 4-year-old OS and missing features common even on today's IGPs. The PQ argument is moot as you're on DVI connection.

Learn how to read other posts before you make comment. It's the TEXT QUALITY problem on GUI's and webpages in desktop. I did not mention having bad "PQ".

This is the same poster who made a 10 zillion post thread about how acoustically awesome his $5,000 mini-to-mini audio cable was when connected from his sound card to his $200 speakers.

His threads are good for a chuckle. I'm guessing it's one of the mods alt accounts as anyone else would have been smacked around some time ago.

Don't go OT please. This is about OPERATING SYSTEM, not audio cables.

what the hell is this dude complaining about? he must have installed malware or something or is just a moron.

I have been using Windows 7 64 bit since release and I have had 0 problems. No bsod, no crashes, no randomly closing programs. Not a resource hog, runs smooth, compatible with everything.

Your previously $500 video card is outperformed by a $60 card today.

I tried out the ATi HD5750 and 6700 series in the past and they all have worse 2D quality. There are no cards out there than can even touch my x1950xtx with just $60...

5 years is a very long time for hardware.

It's 7 years old. Pay attention.

Others have said it before, and I'll say it again - it's not Microsoft's fault you are using unsupported hardware. You are making the choice not to update your hardware.

Are you referring to the poor text quality on display? DaveStall and I have already talked about this before and drew conclusion. You don't need to copy someone else's messages. Copy and Paste.

Your problem with MPC-HC isn't that the software doesn't support your hardware - it's that your drivers are unsupported under Windows7.

Which goes back to saying, Windows 7 has inability to support a widely known ATi brand video card, x1000 series. That puts the OS in immediate con. Like I said before, the version 680 works fine. Stop your whining...

Forget everything else. You cannot expect software to work properly unless the hardware is supported. Until you realize this simple fact, the entire thread is pointless.[/QUOTE]

I think your frustration is misdirected however. As was mentioned earlier, Windows simply provides the driver framework so any manufacturer that wishes to can get their product working with Windows 7. In this case, AMD has decided that it is not worth their time to keep supporting a 7 year old product and has relegated your card to legacy status. It is AMD that is not fully supporting your card not Microsoft.

You have a point there.

Like I said, I *can* put up with poor text in 2D with this unsupported hardware. The video playback is equally gorgeous as that of Server 2003.

But there are bunch of other problems and known issues, including the ones that are not hardware compatibility related.

Anyways, I think video playback issue (video stops after 1st frame but sound continues to play) is gone after installing the newer version of Elecard MPEG Player and audio plug-in components.

I know how to hook up my PC and TV. The problem started since using Windows 7.

It takes no knowledge to install uTorrent. Even a 5 year old kid knows how to install it.

Did you get one to help you then?

No, I did it myself.

What was the problem and how did you solve it?

 

[cheez]

What was the problem and how did you solve it?

That's how I did it the first time. I just installed it. It didn't work. It then fixed itself. Didn't you read previous messages? Or have you forgotten? HA HA WelshBloke completely lost track!! Hilarious.

WelschBloke, it's understandable... I have so many issues posted in a single thread, hence you couldn't keep up what's what....

I bet that 5 year old took pity on you and snuck in and fixed things for you.

It probably ate food in front of the computer. That fixes everything.

I am not ditching my $500+ card. Most importantly, it gives very good PQ in 2D, both text and videos. I am planning to watercool this babe later with some god pampering.

i actually laughed out loud reading this. good times.

i'm not ditching my $5000 dollar IBM either

x1950's 1s and 0s on digital cable ... way better than 6700's

 

[smitbret]

I'll bet it's your power cord. You're probably just using the cheap one that came with the PSU. You should get a custom built with pure copper and selenium shielding. They run a couple g' s but your PC will run a lot smoother. The average user probably won't notice the difference, but power users, like yourself, that are a lot more in tune with the subtle nuances of PC usage will certainly be able to discern the differences.

I think you can get 'em from the same places that sell expensive cables to those dumb ass audiophiles that like to think a $10,000 power cable to their A/V receiver makes it sound better.

 

[mikeymikec]

Pish posh! The poor text in 2D must be because the VGA/DVI cable he's using is wired incorrectly! But only a professional power user would notice the subtle difference it makes.

Either that or he's moaning about ClearType.

1's and 0's are completely meaningless... there is analog portion that we face everyday, on a given electronic toy. VQ's change. The Radeon HD6750 I tried had imperfect desktop display... It just wasn't quite as good as the reign champ x1950xtx in both texts and video playback quality. Setting for setting, the pictures are more natural and more realistic with the x1950xtx.

I miss tweakboy.

Who is this guy so-called tweakboy?? Was he popular too? Oh I would like to meet him! I do thank some of you anandtech folks for referring me to Patrick. I get along with him so well and he is my best friend. We chit-chat everyday...

Pish posh! The poor text in 2D must be because the VGA/DVI cable he's using is wired incorrectly! But only a professional power user would notice the subtle difference it makes.

Then why does display look so good and sharp with Server 2003?? The cabling is done right, especially considering I am pro in videos. I have very high standards, guys I promise.

Either that or he's moaning about ClearType.

I don't use ClearType. Everything is default.



GUYS, UPDATE:

The uTorrent program doesn't start again after I reboot. And of course run as admin and run with XP compatibility mode non-sense doesn't work. I tried all. It's the WINDOWS 7 PREVENTING from application to start. This is a non-issue with Windows 2000 and XP.

Oh I don't like Windows 7 so much. ^_^

Oh keep that. It's classic.

I'm not doing that... my hardware works fine. Runs like a tank. There's an old saying "Don't replace if not broken".

You've got money to buy me a new system then? I don't mind that. Oh wait no... I gotta keep my video card.

^ Mac OS X Lion was awesome. That thang ran EVERYTHING.... without any problems. I couldn't believe it. uTorrent? NO PROBLEMO. ALWAYS ran when I "double-click" at any time, after reboots. I didn't need to worry it's not gonna work next time like Windows 7 does. OSX Lion is faster than Win7 too.
