..Then DX11 will be Windows 7 exclusive.. no DX11 for Vista/XP .. Well they still make more bucks

I still wonder how's Windows SeVen(7) though
By the way,who's waiting RV 730 and RV710 for their old machine?
Microsoft said it will be released before the Windows SeVen(7) does.So Windows Vista does support it(You need a card to support it thou )
By the way i think the hotfix is newest one.Becos i check the file name different from the 8.6 hotfix.I guess next time ba(I'll wait for 8.8 Driver instead).

Some update with the temp.

I tried to play The Witcher just now for like 2-3hrs of gameplay while monitoring the temp at the other monitor.

It never pass 70'c .. most of the time I check is 66'c using Gpu-z

My setting in The Witcher is 1920x1200 .. everything at max. I know The Witcher is not an intensive game.. like Crysis, this is purely only for references.

Anybody tried the new Catalyst 8.7 for the HD4000 series card? Any improvement as the driver release note claims? Any temperature change?

nothing change, same shit..


HD4870 Crossfire Watercooled. Enjoy ~

yup, directx is on vista, u can see it from the last paragraph:
As DirectX 10 runs only on Windows Vista, though, an operating system widely criticized for its stability problems and not particularly beloved by gamers, it remains to be seen whether DirectX 11 can increase the OS' penetration or whether Windows XP will remain the gaming operating system of choice.

It means that will directx 11 save vista and increase its OS' penetration among gamers.

It'll still be a long way to go.

Nothing wrong with VISTA, AFAIK, it's only when you run old apps that is not compatible then you'll have problem.

Corsair HX620 enough?

ati got provide software to change monitor screen ratio?

Finally able to run the 3dmark Vantage after format and format again.

and abit sad about the result

3dmark06 = 14802
3dmark vantahe = 9181

Some forum said can, here ppl say cant.

Not sure no one tried before. I'm also HX620W

9181 for 4850 CF seems not that high wo....hmm....

I really cannot understand why people is so bother about benchmark scores...reformatting PC 10 times just to do some test...when you can have so much fun playing games and enjoying the REAL WORLD PERFORMANCE gain and mooping about some numbers to boost your e-ego.

No offence. Just my 2 cents.

Yep it' s in the Catalyst Control Center, under the 'display option' tab i think

watssup with your proc speed..you enable some stuff? turn it off...BTW is ur proc oc?at least try to get it to 4.0ghz it should show some diff..

erm...DX11 can run on current Vista and future Microsoft OS.
