Is this normal? When using 10.6, I saw a check at DirectCompute.
Now using 10.7 and it seems like DirectCompute is absent.

hey guys, my budget to buy a GC is rm 250 to rm 300. which series should i get and which one is good? should i buy the one with second hand or new one and which series le?

why i can only use screen resolution up to 1600x1200 only on my 32" fhd lcd?im using hd5850...

plus d picture quality is quite blurry...not tht sharp...
is it bcoz of my cable?
im using vga cable n dvi converter...

Well, 10.7 didnt fix my 2nd monitor flickering issue.

guys, who selling the cheapest 5850 now? feels like it's time to crossfire

CCC 10.7 increased my 5770 score in 3dmarkvantage by 3XX for gpu
Still got that stutter in bfbc2 when game starts.. I guess its sumthing to do with ATi Power Play?

mine checked: direct compute 5.0

what happen with yours?

Official drivers (WHQL) have to follow a certain protocol and regulation which prioritize stability & safety first before performance.
That's why 'unofficial' drivers always edge on the performance part, but the stability at your own discretion.
Unless the modded driver (the outmost unofficial driver out there ) which are multiply tested to perform at highest peak with stability.

Just like a Nissan Skyline with it's RB engine, official gotta capped at 180km/h due to regulations, but when unofficially modded can reach easily to 300km/h

For that budget, you might want to think about the Radeon HD4850, I think for 2nd hand you can nego below RM300.
But better get a new one with full length warranty, only below RM330 but you'll be satisfied with it for the next 2 years..
Any low-end 5 Series isn't worth that budget, plus you don't really need DirectX11 at the moment.

Haha, I thought you gonna go for the 5870?

Blurriness: What's the native res for your monitor? 720p or 1080p or 1080i?
Not an expert in monitors:
1) but I think you need to use the HDMI cable to hook onto your LCD to your card, see what does this do first,

2)Alternately you should set the 'HDTV support' on the Catalyst Control Center.
Ok, Open CCC > Go to Graphics, choose Desktops & Displays, then right click the bottom small monitor icon and click Configure> HDTV Support
At this point, try adding the desired format, fiddle around until you can remedy this problem.

I see you have an Nvidia card in your sig for Phsyx, I wonder if can do CF while using Phsyx...

Added on July 27, 2010, 8:30 pmWithout DirectCompute, your card will find it erroneous to compute DIrectX 11 or can't properly process the shaders bro, I think you should clean re~install the drivers in Safe Mode...
Or probably just a major bug on the GPU-Z, regardless, do try to reinstall the driver...

link for TMD any1? modded b4 10.7 CCC oso i dun min

I am using V10.7 now. Using HD5850.
I have the DirectCompute 5.0 Checked on TechPowerUp GPU-Z 0.4.4.

Reinstall ur driver may help. Use driver sweeper in safe mode to make a proper clean.

Added on July 27, 2010, 9:24 pmNot sharp is caused by the resolution problem. In your case, not sure why it don't support 1920 x 1080. What catalyst version of driver u use? I used V10.4, 10.5, 10.6 and now 10.7.
I am also using hd5850 (with VGA cable + DVI Converter) and hook up to 32" at 1920 x 1080, the screen look very sharp.
Try to play around with the resolution and try again. Update ur driver may help.

so as the conclusion can upgrade to 10.7?

@ronaldlee007 JoBigShow
yeah i guess i'll have to reinstall and see how it goes...maybe later at night..
no mood to do it now.

Thanks.

planning to go back to 10.7 beta..

i found a better deal for hd5850...hehehe
my lcd is fhd 1080p..
where to find d catalyst control centre?sory noob question...hehe
ill try out ur suggestion n will let u know d result later..thx bro!


d highest resolution provided is 1600x1200...no option for 1920x1080
i tried to update my driver but its stated tht my driver is already up to date...
any other suggestion bro?

Back after reinstalling the new driver. Direct Compute still does not show up on gpuz.

What am I doing wrong? As I have stated before, I have been using driver sweeper and ccleaner all these years.

Just 'Right Click' anywhere on your Desktop and select 'Catalyst ™ Control Center' OR it's that red 'ATi' icon in your Tasksbar.
Remember to try both of my troubleshoots ( 1. try use HDMI cable and 2. fiddle with the Catalyst HDTV settings)

Some LCD reso are maxed @1600x1200, but DO PROVIDE details of this LCD monitor of yours, what exact brand, series, etc....probably I can look around about your monitor..

Nosferatu, have u try to revert to V10.6? Just to make sure that it is ok.
Regarding your V10.7 installer, where did u download? From http://www.amd.com/us/Pages/AMDHomePage.aspx ?

Agreed with JoBigShow. We need the LCD spec and type. I have tried on Toshiba 32" LCD, the resolution supported is so limited. As for my Philips 32" LCD, on default already in nice and sharp resolution.

i've seen it done before, need 3 pcie of course. but my gtx260 sold already, siggy not updated yet. 5850 below rm900 yet?

ok so I OC'ed my 5850 to 865/1155 (stock voltage, what to do, can't modify) and the Vantage result is identical between 10.6 and 10.7 which is P174XX.

just wanna share. lol

woh? stock voltage.. already had a stable test?
