It's got nothing to do with the card, it's all got to do with the piss poor drivers for the last three months and I'm only referring to crossfire configuration here...

I'm taking your non-answer as you never reporting the issue to the driver team. So, you have an unreported bug on your hands then eh? Hows it supposed to be fixed when you never report it? I feel for you that you're having issues, but if you never report the problem then how about taking some of the blame for it not being fixed instead of playing to oh poor me card.
 
This is a brand new issue introduced yesterday. Previous behavior was different, crashes, lockups, etc. This driver brought flashing textures all over the screen and eventually the game goes blank (nothing shows on the screen but you can still hear the battle) and the only thing left to do is to force the game to end...(lovely)
 
Solofly? Who hacked his account to post about 460s??????


Next you are going to tell me Wreckage will get a 5870, or Sickbeast will get a 480!

By the way, nice pick on the board partner. My favorite.
 
I like ATI's attitude better than Nvidia's but when things make my life difficult I quickly replace them...(love or no love)

I do kinda understand where your coming from. I'm running 5870's in crossfire and been fighting the "Driver not responding" crap. While trying 10.5 and 10.6 drivers they made my games random crash. I'm trying the new 10.7 drivers right now and so far its working.

I know my graphics cards are not overheating. Cause they are only around 50c when I look at my G15 keyboard LCD screen. If anything guess I can go back to the 10.4 drivers which I had good luck with. lol

Dude I had an 8800GTS before my computer blew up. :thumbsdown:
 
Honestly, I have owned 19 ATi cards, and 4 NV cards. And not "one" card whether its ATi or Nvidia have I ever had driver problems with.

So yea, With the "In Production" build, I am going back to ATi. Ive been away for far too long.
 
I'm gonna bump the thread one more time and share this with you...

Personally, if I were buying today, I'd spring for manually overclocking two GTX 460 1Gb cards, or possible two 470s if I could find a good deal. Crossfire is fine when the drivers are on point and you simply can't rely on that from one release to the other. IMO there is no excuse to break Crossfire on a popular title once you've already tuned and implemented it in an earlier driver.

Blacklash owns two rigs, one with SLI and one with Crossfire so he's not taking sides here.

You can check out his other rig here...

so how is the 460 sli compared to your old crossfire? and which cards did you have crossfired?

What are your thoughts now that you've got both?

Shrug.. never played Bad company.... crossfire works fine for me most of the time.. just not in Wow.. Only driver bug I've had lastely was 10.4 which killed flash playback and caused BSOD issues for me. 10.6 worked though.. have not tried 10.7 yet.

Interesting. I've been having BSODs on my HTPC, and I installed 10.4 on my 780G mobo. But also, my RAM seems to fail memtest, no matter what my RAM divider is, so I probably have problems unrelated to ATI drivers.

Unfortunately neither company offers error free drivers every release. Wouldn't it just be easier to roll back to the previous driver and wait a month for the next release (or sooner for a hot-fix). A bit overreacting, isn't it?
 
I have agree with this gentleman regard 10.7, broke my Borderlands game with a memory leak. Had to switch back to 10.6. But to be honest, this was the first time it had happened for the past year and half I had my 4850.

For OP, I know this is pretty frustrating, I was pissed yesterday about this but ... if you throw out your video cards every time the driver gone bad, you might do this to NV as well since I had a few of these 'glitches' when I had my NV 8800GT card. So just take it easy and breath a little, don't make any rash decisions while you are angry might just be enough to get you by such a thing.
