1133593 2010-09-01 01:14:00 I could say the same for Nvidia drivers. Thats the reason I decided to install ATI instead of Nvidia cards (the drivers were buggy as). Altho, a Nvidia card would (probably) fix the stuttering / lag when I use the tuner on this. But this may also be a Win7 issue, since it doesn't happen in Vista

Speedy, I doubt that very much. nVidia was the 1st with DX10 and the Vista O/S right on launch day and it is to be expected there were some driver issues. I seem to recall you are not much of a gamer and therefore dont have to update your drivers very often which is where ATi fall down. CF has been sh*te since 10.4 FCS and only fixed at 10.8a (yes, they had to bring out yet another release right after the monthly release to fix it), there is also the black screen issue and issues with HDMI interfaces, and still after years and years, poor linux support, why, because they are partner orientated, not customer like NV
As I said, Cypress is a great bit of hardware but reality is AMD's software team is so far behind NV, its not funny!

I doubt it, but I can hope... I still love my nForce 4!

1133595 2010-09-01 01:21:00 Well games or DX 10 have nothing to do with it. I was talking about their drivers, not DX or games.

I may not have any games now, that doesn't mean I wont get any later. I may not have to update the drivers, BUT I do.

I've never had any HDMI issues, or black screen for that matter

Speedy!, DX and games are the issue big boy!, and just because you don't have issues (helps when you dont play games), doesnt mean everything's good in the world okay.Do you think Im making this up?

Stop.

Breathe.

This better not turn into one of those ATi (now rebranded AMD) vs. Nvidia threads. We've all heard the arguments/counter-arguments and we all know where each of us stand. There's no point starting over.

Shove off and mind your own business BM, you are not the board moderator . I was not talking about which GPU is better, I was simply stating known issue with ATi drivers . . .

I'm all good, however I don't need condescending remarks from people not even involved in the thread. Ive been in this business far too long for that!

Sorry if I caused offence . None was meant .

To be fair though, it really did look like the beginning of a flamewar . We've seen so many here in the last few months and they've all been pointless . You don't need to be a moderator to see that .

Glad we're agreed that it won't go that way .

As you were . . .
