ATI Catalyst 10.5 Radeon GPU Drivers Released

[volks1470]

yea, I had nothing but trouble with these drivers.

I installed it and my screens went blank. I restarted and my left screen just wouldn't turn on. Revert back to 10.4 and all is fixed!

This update has stopped the crashing I have been experiencing with the previous drivers. Go AMD/ATI

Contrary to ATI's claims this new driver did not fix the inability to lock at 120hz on my Dell AW2310 - the refresh rate override still does not work properly with my 3850 AGP card. Still need to use ATI Traytools to get this lock

I think the best update was 10.4. My BFBC2 load times went from like 30 seconds to 3 seconds on my 5850.

I went to a local PC shop and traded my 2 5870s for 2x 295 GTXs with the store owner. Really cool guy.

He wanted to try out DX11, and I was sick of BF:BC2 crashing, Dirt2 lock ups, and AVP Stuttering, even after trying all the 9.xx and 10.x drivers available.

Can't be more pleased with the trade. I'll never go back to ATI ever again.

(Oh and in the same month, I bought a gaming laptop that had the mobile 5870 in it, and Games were constantly crashing and getting white screens, double burn from ATI all in 1 month. needless to say I learned my lesson, and vowed never to betray Nvidia again.)

Quad-SLI FTW

A good article! Batman to the batcave and get some batbread.

Don't install these if you like to play any quake3 engine games, turns player models and some textures white.

Your last line gave you away. "I learned my lesson, and vowed never to betray Nvidia again"? Vow? Betray? You've got to be kidding me. There's nothing wrong with reporting driver issues, but leave your fanboy act at the door.
