Alleviates some of the intermittent grey screen and vertical line corruptions that may randomly appear during normal usage when using an ATI™ Radeon HD 5800 series graphics card


MS has released another Directx package, too.

I guess I'll just apply this one, before strange things happen. I really want my system running stable these days :roll:

Also a net framework 4 beta that 'might' fix the corrupt cursor issue http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/dd582936.aspx

Someone said it did in another thread. I am not sure if it has any effect. Havn't had problems since installing it though.

Is this normal for ATi? I'm pretty new to ATi, had Nvidia for many years until Eyefinity made me switch. It appears that after every driver release, there's always a hotfix quickly following. Not sure if it's a good thing (they get on top of issues quickly) or a bad thing (they push releases out too quickly with unresolved issues).

Every driver release I've downloaded so far has had one. This is the second for 10.1 (Jan 27 Hotfix came out for Mass Effect 2 Anti-aliasing issues).

Seems a little odd to me, especially when they come out only a couple of days after release.

Oh well, time to download the 10.1 driver for basically the third time....

It's kinda annoying, but I'd rather see hotfixes now that wait a month a full driver update. And those hotfixes usually address the worst issues.

Anyone else have a problem with profiles where a monitor wont go to sleep completely? My samsung on HDMI would go black but you can clearly see the light still showing like its displaying a black screen or something.

I was happy to see a fix that solved the problem with intermittent grey screen and vertical line which occurred in my case a bit often. I installed the hotfix but I have to say that the grey screen was replaced by a black one. It seems that the crashes still occur (graphic adapter stopped responding), randomly and with the same frequency.

Something has been changed but I think more work and testing is needed with the driver.

In my setup it's the only real problem that I have encountered (and sometimes the corrupted cursor issue), otherwise everything works as it should (profiles, etc). I am very happy with eyefinity and I don't mind some problems because I am sure that at ATI people are working hard to solve them and it's a matter of time before these are a thing of the past.
