Spoiler:
AMD Catalyst™ Driver 11.4c Hotfix Feature:
Resolves intermittent flickering issues seen in the following applications in a system using an AMD Radeon™ HD 6600 series graphics card with DDR3 memory and running in DirectX® 9 mode:
1- Scaricate innanzitutto dal sito ati/amd la versione dei drivers che vi interessa (per i links vedi sopra).
2- Rimuovere la versione corrente dei catalyst installata:
- andate nel pannello di controllo windows e disinstallate tutto il software ati
- riavviate
- cancellate tutte le cartelle ati/amd rimaste sul pc
- riavviate in modalità provvisoria (per avviare in modalità provvisoria premere F8 durante le scritte del bios)
Ora che siete in modalità provvisoria avete 2 possibilità: A- cancellare manualmente dal registro di windows tutte le chiavi ati: cliccate esegui, scrivete regedit, cercate le parole "ati" (senza ") e cancellate tutti i risultati;
B- usare un pulitore (ad esempio Driver Sweeper) che faccia al vostro posto ciò che ho scritto sopra. E' importante usare il pulitore sempre in modalià provvisoria, altrimenti farete casino coi drivers e non si installeranno più constringendovi al format (esperienza personale :asd:);
3- Riavviate e procedete con l'installazione della nuova versione dei drivers desiderata, seguendo le semplici istruzioni che appaiono su schermo.

Ma, se per esempio compro un gioco futuro , ad esempio Crysis 2 ecco , quando lo installo , e magari richiede i catalyst nuovi o aggiornamenti della mia scheda video , li fa lui in automatico? Beh se è cosi allora , li farò quando comprerò le nuove uscite di marzo :D

Installati e ho dovuto lottare con numerosi crash mentre giocavo a Test Drive Unlimited 2, che prima non si era bloccato neanche una volta. Dovrò provare con qualche bench per vedere se le prestazioni sono migliorate. Anche se credo che lo scopo di questa nuova versione dei catalyst fosse solo quella di aggiungere queste numerose novità...
