How many weeks has gamma been fixed? Why no patch yet?

HiThere

It's been broke 8 months now, with the exception of that lucky SOB at AVS forums. POP! is the sound of someone at ATI pulling thier thumb out of their "dark area" and issuing a fix...

C'mon, I like my 8500, but ATI gives the competition so many reasons sometimes...
 
Heh-heh-heh.

Heh-heh-heh.

Heh-heh-heh...do I even have to say it? They're never very exciting over on the dark side is my one complaint...always just about 50-100 more 3dm2k1se points and a couple of FPS more in DroneZ. So boring, so predictable.




:p
 
Didn't that Orr guy over at AVS tell us all exactly what the problem was and exactly how ATI was going to solve it 2 months ago? Is it unreasonable of me to expect them to be timely about such a simple fix? From what I understand, the solution involved a simple re-aligning of the control points in the gamma thingey. This doesn't seem like the kind of thing that would, once fixed, require a whole lot of compatability checks and testing, etc.

I don't think fixing the gamma problem is what requires all the checking, I imagine this fix will be bundled in with other fixes/changes (and some extra features by the sound of it? :D ), so the whole driver package will need to be extensively tested.

I'm sure some good person on here will leak them as soon as they become more widely available anyway. ;)

Hopefully they will realese some driver during computex or something :)

Nah, the only guy that can upload the new driverset on the dev ftp is on holiday and until he's back no new drivers.
 
Gamma has been broken for a long time. The LOD Bias slider hasn't worked at all since day one, and the dither w/ alpha is also broken/ignored as well.

These have all been 8+ month issues in the drivers. Let's just hope something changes fairly soon! :)
