Catalyst 11.6 - 6/15/2011

[Newman]

Installed the recent version of CCC with Drivers and was getting a BSOD on startup, rolling back and suggesting people avoid this version for a while.

I have this version, no issues at all.

I haven't gotten this one yet. Anyone know if it'll fix a display driver crash caused by java applets?

Never had any crashes with my card at all so I can't tell you. Maybe read the changes in the update?

Gotta love doing a clean OS install and still getting a BSoD on startup. ATI = pro

Nvidia ftw

Although Intel/Nvidia offer higher performing CPU/GPUs, AMD/ATI offers better value for your dollar. I think it's a little harder to argue that on the CPU market, as Intel is farther ahead, but ont he GPU market, I really don't see the point of buying NVIDIA when ATI is so much cheaper at almost the same performance.

Not getting any issues what so ever.

What video card is it?

CPUs Intel really closed the price gap with Sandy Bridge to the point where there is really no reason right now to get AMD CPUs. On GPUs, Nvidia and AMD/ATI are very closely matched on price/performance segments. Yes, at a certain price point you can get pretty similar performance, but I argue that NVidia's drivers tend to be a bit better. I know others disagree, but that has been my experience...

That's really weird o.O

Would expect that kind of problem from some of the 58xx or 59xx.

I'm on a 5570 right now and only get some error. (Graphically, really.)
