hotfix 9.12


@ your 10.2 comment, not suprised. getting a little more than cheesed off with ATI's offering, theyve had more than ample time to make working drivers what with W7 code being around for bloody ages.


another possible issue = screen mother of all **** ups. happens when tabbing between video playback and other applications, happens more than occasionally with me, the screen goes black and appears to completely crash trying to show something like an msn window with a video playing around/behind it. it takes around 4/5 mins in total till it completely gives up and simply dies with a black screen, but before that i appears to try and reboot itself or something, video audio will stop and start and the screen will flash bits of the taskbar etc. obviously i cant screenshot that, or record it....

iv had the same issue, but i have to say it has only happened once in the time i have had my card. not happy with ATI atm

All of this makes me glad I still have my HD3850 card. Works great and will outperform most of the 4800 series too.

I'm not a huge gamer person, one of these days I may get a 5800 though.
