From: J. Clarke on 22 Nov 2007 11:40 Tried installing Catalyst 7.11 and D3D died. Same for 7.10 and 7.9. 7.8 works. Good to see that being taken over by AMD hasn't changed anything at ATI. Why don't they just shoot their software department and start over? -- -- --John to email, dial "usenet" and validate (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net)

From: First of One on 22 Nov 2007 20:59 For me, 7.11 required one extra reboot after driver installation before D3D games could work. The Good (not documented in the release notes): - Fixed bug in Call of Duty 4 where Crossfire got lower framerates than a single card. - Hardware acceleration can be enabled Adobe PDF Reader without artifacting while AA is enabled in the control panel. - Multisample Adaptive AA now an option The Bad: The desktop wallpaper disappears after every boot. Something is not refreshing properly. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means. It can therefore be said that politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed."

D3D passes all tests no problems. Cheers Dre |
