god... i really want this, 512MB at least, either gDDR4 or gDDR3, not to mention cheaper than 8800GT (8800GT too is a very good replacement for my 7950GT) tongue.gif

yeah a bunch of us got this problem...Im afraid there is no solution to it...you can install the driver and ATI CC manually...

manually? i thought all i done just now was manually?... ok, that's for 1st Q, i don't mind, since i'm on Catalyst 7.10, but how about the second, any idea? unsure.gif

1st of all, this is my PC specs

Silverstone ST56ZF + Gigabyte Odin 550W
AMD Athlon FX-60 @2.8GHz Toledo 1.4 vCORE
2x 1GB Aeneon PC3200 @DDR533 2.8 vDIMM
1GB gDDR4 HIS ATi Radeon HD2900XT (Catalyst ???)
user posted image
Creative Audigy 2 ZS Platinum
250GB Western Digital SATA (Primary)

installed essential .Net Framework (Framework 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 2.0 SP 1/2, 3.0 and 3.5), long story short... i've installed all needed Framework laugh.gif

regarding this issue, it took me whole night to find out what's going on doh.gif laugh.gif, and found a few thing which i don't know could help or not... doh.gif tongue.gif, anyway... about the 1st Q (failed to install latest Catalyst 7.11), i think i figured that out...

but the most important thing is, my 2nd Q... about graphic problem in Battlefield 2 (BF2) game, everything's fine until i found the whole image came up with all those black spots doh.gif, here's what i did last night...

ATi Catalyst AI - Disabled

Catalyst Control Center (CCC) :
2x Anti-Aliasing (AA) (2x Box), 4x AA (4x Box) and 8x (8x Box) + 16x Anisotropic Filtering (AF)

2x AA (4x Narrow Tent (NT)), 4x AA (8x NT), 8x AA (12x NT) + 16x AF

2x AA (6x Wide Tent (WT)), 4x AA (8x NT), 8x AA (16x NT) + 16x AF

with in-game Video sets to - 1280 x 1024 @100Hz, All High Quality with 100% View Distance, in-game AA options "Off"

found out, all showed this black spot thingy (as screenshot i shown earlier)... the black disappear only when i enable ATi Catalyst AI in CCC, but that made all AA and AF settings screwed up thus making the graphic not so "cun"...

so, anyone using HD2900XT or any same problem like this? unsure.gif

IMO... ATi vs nVidia in terms of performance... nVidia wins, in terms of image quality, ATi... seriously...

about gameplay... ATi tries keep maintaining good image quality (IQ), unlike nVidia tried keep good gameplay frame rate... actually, it's unnoticeable until you tried both ATi and nVidia...

hmm.gif, guess i'm not using 8800GTX when comparing with HD2900XT doh.gif laugh.gif

hmm.gif, there's one i want to ask... what about this? mouse-over 16x AF (ATi) and 16x AF (G80), did you notice anything? looks like, ATi's image crispier than nVidia icon_idea.gif

1gb 2900xt? if so might becoz of ur resolution and details.. where the higher memory start to show its advantage over lower memory...

for me i failed to compare with my previous 1gb 2900xt, coz quite some time edi.. but somehow when comparing with 8800gt, it's hard to notice the performance different, unless i open Fraps and see the FPS  laugh.gif

yes... 1GB 2900XT, well, it tried both card with same setting @1280x1024 on my system... even though almost same fps, but i felt (very subjective though), the gameplay much more smoother with HD2900XT, about the IQ... it's ATi man... nothing can beat them thumbup.gif

i thought it was HD2900XT prob, but when tried on HD3870... i still got this black spot problem in Battlefield 2, seems like AMD ATi still haven't fix the black spot thingy yet... doh.gif shakehead.gif, tried on Cat 7.10, 7.11 even 7.12... still the same, not happen on X1900XT, X1950GT though doh.gif... and that's the only reason why i'm letting go my HD2900XT cry.gif

I'm having a problem with my Sapphire HD3850. Everytime I turn on anti-aliasing, the game crashes (any game), even after changing the AA setting in the control center.

Does anyone know what is the problem?
*
it could AA conflict with the game...

disabled AA in Catalyst Control Center (CCC) and enabling those AA in in-game setting icon_idea.gif, or you can try disabled all AA in in-game settings and enabling them in CCC icon_idea.gif

It happens to me when I push the card OC around 870 core.
Everything went well except when you run AA. I beleive with this setting on it pushes the GPU harder
voltage increases and strain the card.

What user can do is download your card and try again. See what happens.
Same like 2900xt, psu cant cope up the gpu downclock itself.

i believe you meant downclock doh.gif laugh.gif
