CCC 10.2

[Niklas_13]

Anyone have problems with the drivers ? seems like dirt2 runs like *** with them. a lot of lag shuttering with them around corners of the track, didnt seem to do this before.

Only way to get it to run smooth its to set rez @ 1360x768 lowering setting don't help.


anyone else having this problem or a fix ?

Thanks

I never upgraded from 9.12 HF, so I can't say. These (10.2) were supposed to improve performance. One thing I do that substantially improves performance (don't know why) is to go into the config files (in My Games folder) and set the game to start in Windowed mode. Then I manually put it into fullscreen (alt-enter) and the game runs great (and still looks great). No idea what this actually does or why it helps, but that's what I do whenever I play.

So on the 9.12 CCC you dloaded it then put the 9.12 HF on top for did you remove the 9.12 then just use 9.12 HF ?

You got a link for the 9.12 HF i tryed a few this morning and seems just the drivers are loading not the CCC

Thanks

i will have to try that windows mode thing

The 9.12 Hotfix is the Entire driver set, CCC, and all optional downloads (so it is a full driver). All Hotfix means is that it did not go through the full qualifications.

Here's the 9.12 HF drivers:

Also a 10.2 HF if you feel like trying a bunch of drivers:

Thanks for the links

Can you try dirt2 on your PC at 1680x1050 2x AA high detail and tell me if you see any lag shuttering of the car/truck ?

 

[EXT64]

I have before on Ultra, 1680x1050, 4xMSAA and it ran great if I did the Windowed => Alt-Enter method. Otherwise in some random areas driving and in replay the game would slow down significantly.

 

[Niklas_13]

So would i change full screen to False ? then when in game hit alt-enter ?

 

[Niklas_13]

Well i got it working good

I had to uninstall CCC and just use the 10.2 drivers and i installed ATI tray tools ( not sure if it was something in the CCC ) but when i played dirt2 @ 1680x1050 it lagged hard.

Now i can play in 1680x1050 with 4XMSAA on Ultra and get 30 FPS around the track with no slowing down

Thanks

 

[EXT64]

Interesting. I've never tried it without CCC installed.

You should be getting more than 30FPS, I run Dirt 2 with everything at max 1920 x 1080 no AA and get 60-70FPS all the time. I'm using the 10.2's
Using a 5850 at stock with a ci7920 @4Ghz 3GB of OCZ triple channel 1200mhz 7-7-7-21

 

[Niklas_13]

Yeah you have Vsync off, i didn't check it that way, i have it on so no tearing.

 

[Niklas_13]

Well a update, the link i use to dload the drivers worked today. I had to uninstall ati tray tools do to punkbuster, anyways i put the CCC 10.2 back in and ran dirt2 on 1680x1050 2XMSAA ultra setting with VSYNC on it ran like butter ( not sure the FPS ) because fraps was removed also.

Anyways its working well

Question what do you guys use to check FPS ? the in game benchmark tool ?


Thanks for the info and help

 

[EXT64]

That's all I used to get real numbers. Beyond that all I care is whether it looks reasonably fluid to my eyes or not.
