ATI Catalyst Drivers 4.8 Have A Problem

Quote:
ATI HAS A WHOPPER of a problem in the latest Catalyst drivers. The problem stems from Shader Model 2.0, 2.0b, 3.0, standards and MS certification of those standards. All drivers need to conform to standards, it is the reason standards are indeed standards, you adhere or you don't. If you don't, you are not compliant, and you lose the benefit of whatever said certifications bring.
Microsoft is the self-made god of its own standards, and there is one thing no one will complain about with MS, and that is its brutal enforcement of its standards. People may complain about how the standards are made, or how MS uses them, but the standards themselves have brought us a relatively sane computer industry with hardware and software that works together. MS is understandably bitchy about these standards, and defends them vigorously. If you see the sticker with the logo on it, you know what it brings.

Re: ATI Catalyst Drivers 4.8 Have A Problem

*shrugs*
As a computer savvy person, and most people that are buying top end hardware regardless are also slightly savvy, then they will turn it on. For the others, who cares Learn to use a computer.
Besides....if people want to use it in a game, it can be enabled by software. The game can prompt for yes/no & enable & initialise the advanced 2b engine anyway

It's not the tragedy they claim it to be

Admitting that you've illegally downloaded movies/songs and need help to process/burn is comparable to robbing a bank, and walking into the bank the next day holding the bags of money to deposit them into your account.
Don't be surprised if people laugh at you when you make the headlines.
