hi guys, im one of the very first users who got his hands on the 4870 (that sat morning) tongue.gif

do update me if that hotfix has solved your problems, or if you encountered a different BSOD msg upon installing of the new 4000 series

**edit

i've also had a read on a techie forum where this person is having the same issue with 8.8, then he uninstalled CCC,(catalyst control center) and only installed the display drivers. You might want to give this a try, if your still having the same BSOD msg.

hmm, the file seems to be released after CCC 8.6 was released (which is the 48xx series hotfix)..was it the same hotfix? which ccc did u actually install when u got ur card o-o?

latest 8.8,

im not sure what you meant, but i think you mean that catalyst 8.8 is already included in with the hotfix?


*edit

i've just had a look at the 8.6 release notes, seems nothing is stated that the hotfix was integrated with it. Anything i missed out?

Unfortunately after an amount of efforts i put on it, Crysis still won't start.. I really don't know what's the real prob.. After entire blackout then it got better by blackout for a moment then back 2 desktop.. GC i think got no prob coz i can run furmark for half an hour with 4x AA.. Could be DX10 issue but i've already installed the very latest one.. Clean install of Catalyst 8.9 driver also done.. Then why it won't start?

just a side note, crysis is madness, even dual cards still wont perform to max. Requirements for crysis is just madness. Also, have you tried googling a fix for vista-32 or common issues? because i just did a quick google, and found lots of users having issues with it and same symptoms. It could be lots of reasons why, DX10, some vid settings, catalyst versions, Cracked .exe, PSU, and the worst, faulty GC.

Try checking windows event viewer to see what's the problem with it. Is it having errors with .exe DX10 or .exe DX 9?

Could be lots of reasons.

you could also test your GC on a friends machine smile.gif

Cheers\




edit O/T******* Try mercenaries 2 On PC with 4870! its just madness !, but if you set water details and water effects on high, it will LAG, no its not my RAM, im on 64bit vista 4Gig ram.

i recommend you to try mercenaries if you want to see what your card can do tongue.gif
