Thanks for another bad drivers ATI... My Mobility HD2600 usually sits at 38ºc in idle, when I put 10.7 > 10.11... My GPU at idle stays at 57ºc... So, thanks for trying to kill my notebook... :X

Well there is a good reason why you should stay at the 10.7 then. Especially considering that the HD2K series has not gotten any real performance updates since well the 9 series of drivers.

Much like the newer drivers don't seem to have any real performance upgrades for the HD4K series anymore.

also have the mobility hd2600 and my idle temp is still 37°C after installing 10.11. but i noticed a HUGE improvment in flash apps. maybe because of the openCL driver? i thought only 5000 and above are capable...

if you have a toshiba, sony or panasonic notebook, the release notes clearly state that this is not compatible with those products. so it's your fault if you install them and have problems...
 
did they fix dual screen flicking issues with 95% of ati 5850/70/5770/6850/70 users? AND the VERY annoying cursor bug in sc2, I still like the perfs I'm getting though, all games silky smooth... BUT FIX THOSE DAMN PROBLEMS
 
Very small updates - recent ATI updates have been ever more incremental. That's a good thing, as it seems drivers are getting mature.

Now if they'd only come up with half decent Linux drivers... I really want to make Ubuntu 10.10 my main desktop OS, but gaming is still impossible. It's not AMD's fault devs don't natively support Linux, but half decent drivers would at least make Wine a bit more viable. I guess just fixing Wine would be even better though...
 
I wish they would fix the idle core/mem clocks. I have to say with ccc 10.3 or else my 5850 idles at 50*C, its bs. I dont know why they cant just fix it.

Thank you. It was an honest question, I don't know why people downranked me. I JUST assembled my first AMD/ATI card 2 days ago and I didn't know for sure.

TBH I really ever wonder if there's any point to upgrade your video drivers beyond any specifically noted fixes/performance enhancements mentioned. Really, I'm sure the drivers from this time last year don't really make any difference for my 4870.

I have a Toshiba, and the drivers always worked fine... And Toshiba, Sony or Panasonic, don't have any special breed of GPU's... It's just a precautionary measure from those vendors (aka stay with 8.5 drivers forever). A GPU is a GPU.
 
Still haven't fixed crossfire performance in Battlefield BC2 yet...Running dual Radeon 4870s, and crossfire is horrid after 10.5...I will never understand how they have driver updates that hurt performance in this game.
 
"Like other driver releases, are there small performance improvements."

Is that a question? I don't know if there are or not, I was hoping you'd tell me since you where the one telling me about it?

maybe he has no need to upgrade? why fix whats not broken? why pollute the earth? maybe he doesnt need 2 5970's to compensate in other areas....?

it seems like every other driver update it makes my system less stable.. 10.09 was horrible.. but 10.11 hasnt crashed on me yet. how hard is it ati?

we can all agree that ati is alot worse than nvidia in the driver department.
 
Tom's Hardware, please do as I: buy a new Radeon HD 6000 series card.

Go to the AMD site, select this series to download drivers. What do you get ? Tarammm! 10.10!

Yes! 10.11 does not officially support the HD6000 series!

10.11 is probably the first driver release in history that treats customers of the new series as second class users. Unless you want to run the risk of installing an unsupported Hotfix, which, by the way, does not solve many of the problems HD6000 series users are complaining about.

The 10.11 release focuses on HD5000 series. And the Hotfix 10.10e too; the rest of the features listed in 10.10e is a copy-paste of the 10.10d release.

Of course, there is a 25 million HD 5000 series market to cater too, but... treating HD6000 users like this is bad PR. At least treat users equally!

Going out and rush MLAA support for HD5000 series when users weren't even expecting it, is doing things the wrong way around.
