Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
No, we has a specific bug for titles that use the newer "DX9.0c" profile. We have different DLL's (hence effectively different drivers) for DX9 and DX10/11. By forcing the title into DX10 mode it is making the game use a the DX10/11 driver so would fix the issue (even if the title didn't do...
The 3 free games plus 20% off MoH is 7900 series specific. See the AMD blog post - there is a big table highlighting the matrix of what deals are applicable to what card. Newegg are only running the 7900 series deal at the moment and its not greyed out - as it is a hyperlink it will appear in...
GHz edition is not "an overclocked 7970" it is a full SKU with its own product definition, product test flow and full qualification. CPU speed grades are not considered "OC versions" of one another.
Shogun 2 already shipped with MLAA in-game. Other titles will as well.
Note, the FEAR 3 improvements come from improving the performance of the FXAA shader.
There are multiple optimisations that take place - generic driver optimzations, API specific optimizations, architecture specific opimizations, GPU configuration optimizations, etc., etc. The boards listed here are just the improvements for the boards that we have measured for this specific set...
This driver is Catalyst 10.1 + Mass Effect + Grey screen Hotfixes.
This dos not include Crossfire Eyefinity yet, because that has not made it into a mainline and the Cat. 9.12 Hotfix was really a "preview" of it.
Its a power saving feature for Crossfire & dual GPU cards. The ASIC's that are not connected to a display are put into an ACPI sleep mode to save system power (hence they can't be read in CCC); they fully "wake up" when an application calls for Crossfire performance.
Amusingly, Wiki redirects "Static Superscalar" to VLIW.
Prior to the games release we'd itentified a number of areas where the performance could be made better on ATI Radeon's and the developers have responded:
