10.5 fixed BFBC2 load times with my Xfire 5770s.

This hot fix is for:

# ATI Radeon HD 4xxx series graphics card
# ATI Radeon HD 3xxx series graphics card
# ATI Radeon HD 2xxx series graphics card

I seem to get invisible cursor on boot up in plain extended mode in the middle monitor. The only way to fix it is restart. This only happened since I upgraded my 5770s BIOS and updated to to 10.1 (did both at the same time)

Sapphire gave me a BIOS to test for my 5770, but it didn't work for me.

Dear Sir :

This VBIOS only for SKU#21163-10-xxR

Then check the SOP ...

Has there been any "official" BIOS updates from any of the 5770 makers as yet?

I got the impression that ATI have informed them all of the DP problems, it seems they are a bit slow in reacting?

Is there a way to identify the FW of an adapter or even flash it to a later version. My Accell adapter has no markings or stickers indicating the FW version.

[quote]I'm not sure how validated any of those are as I have one (B087B-002B) from the list and it is unusable due to the monitor blinking on and off.

Whats the model number of the monitor that had the flashing problems, DW?

BenQ G2220HD

When I turn my monitor up to it's native resolution of 1920 x 1080 ( 5760 x 1080 ), the monitor on the display port begins to show white line dashing across the screen randomly, the screen will shut down and then turn itself back on. Eventually the monitor will shut off completely ...

Try that for HD 5770. Note that this is only for the board designs with the fully enclosed (black with red accents) fan shroud.

I assume it is only for one like this?



Mine looks more like this one and I get ...

I'm not sure how validated any of those are as I have one (B087B-002B) from the list and it is unusable due to the monitor blinking on and off.

Somethings not right there as my system is lower spec'ed than yours and I can run Dirt2 at 5760x1080 no problems.

Now all we need is a bios fix for the 5770 :(

Welcome to the club of DP>DVI Adapter hell. Hopefully someone with a bigger brain than me can eventually work out what the problem is.

The only thing I can suggest is try a $20 DP>VGA adapter as that works the best for me. Still some minor issues, but 100% stable once I have it set.

* CrossFire X profiles per application will now be in a separate XML file that it will be possible to update independently of the driver itself

Ok I just got an ACCELL DP>DVI adapter P/N B087B-002B which is listed as validated for Eyefinity http://support.amd.com/us/eyefinity/Pages/eyefinity-dongles.aspx

Straight up I get the monitor going on and off and getting lines through it. Then it just goes totally black (but the monitor doesn't ...

I gave World in Conflict demo a try, but it just crashes on startup. Supreme commander demo works no problems, so I might get the full version of that.

My wife throws heavy things at me if I play too many games. I play more games with Eyefinity :rockout so:

Eyefinity = Bad Health.

i5 750

Going from Eyefinity to Extended "Normally" works everytime for me. However, going from Extended to Eyefinity, requires me to use the hot key four times for it to work.

Sometimes the monitors will get stuck on cloned mode and the CCC software will say they are in Eyefinity. I then need to got ...

I am running three BenQ G2220HD monitors at 5760 x 1080. Runs COD: MW2 at 60-65 FPS on high settings.

You could get two 5770s and run them in crossfire - That's what I have and it works great. Run MW2 no problems matched with a i5 750 CPU.
