Widescreen Gaming Forum

A user over at Rage3D posted these earlier this evening. I'm giving them a trial run and they're working very well so far. If any of you are interested in trying these, I can confirm that they ARE 10.6 drivers but not the final/official release.

Be sure to look for your own Windows flavor:

The issue is not with the drivers, its the active displayport adapter.

well if its not the drivers then why does catalyst 10.3 work perfect for me? I am 99.99% positive its within ati/amd's power to put something in there drivers that elimates blinking. 10.3 works, 10.4 and 10.5 both have blinking issues with active dp adapters.

There are versions there. I did get the Windows Vista/7 x64 drivers. You just have to look for them.

Once you find your version, click the Floppy Disk Icon to download.

I know this is veering off-topic but on [H] forums another user posted the same thing - blinking in all driver versions except 10.3. Convinced him to try a different adapter, he did, and blinking was fixed. I believe the problem is a combination of both loose timings in the drivers and poor lenience in the adapter, if you swap adapters you may get one with better compatibility.

This is somewhat confusing. I take it that what was "posted earlier today" was the May 27 file, but what is the difference between the 10.6 entries?
