I don't expect gamers to be playing on a FirePro or quadro, so we also have dev computers that use consumer cards. All of our artists machines that run maya all day use those cards. Are you suggesting maya should hang the PC due to the radeon being merely consumer grade? When you have 7...

I submitted the Maya bug to AMD, yes. And I'm sure it's me you were remembering. I gave up on Heaven as for all I know it's a bug within it. Windowed heaven does crash all 3 machines if I crank up the MSAA, as do my own openGL applications (again, only when windowed and MSAA). The point of...

I have 3 pcs, and XP/Vista/Win7 here and it was reproducible on all machines using any of the drivers available. In addition to the maya crash, it'd be pretty odd that a "conflict" would cause a random crash with an app simply sitting there rendering the same scene over and over again as it...

And wow, $82 restocking fee from newegg for returning a POS card that hard locks both my PC's? Really?? They are selling defective product as far as I'm concerned. :mad: Full screen games run great, and I'm amazingly impressed at how powerful this hardware is, but windowed 3d just seems very...

Maya 2008 still hardlocks the PC within 5 seconds of starting. This happens on both Vista64 and Windows7-64. Some windowed 3D applications with a high GPU load will still randomly lock the PC, tested on XP, Win7, and Vista64. Not impressed with AMD. I've got 2 7970's here (I've never tried...

Heaven is dx9,dx10,dx11, and openGL. GL or dx9 run under XP, but cause random lockups. As for Maya 2008, there is nothing wrong with the install. The install works fine with Nvidia drivers, and has for a year. Even if there was something wrong with the install, maya is a user level program...

This could be the case, but you know it's only in the AMD world that people blame the users window install for driver issues. I've never heard so much talk of driver sweepers until I bought an AMD card, and you're right, it does remind me of the issues I used to have with my radeon 'back in the...

Coming from NVidia I'm also dissatisfied with my 7970 probably exclusively due to the drivers. 1) Maya now hangs the whole PC when I start it 2) Some windowed 3d apps can hang the whole PC 3) It seems the OpenGL driver isn't fully backwards compatible, even using its compatibility profile...

XBox controller is plugged in, yes, but I assume it's simply using built-in windows drivers. Why do you ask? Is there a known issue?

Having the driver force a postprocess AA is a "hack" by any standard, so sometimes the results are not as expected. For example, in the case of Morphological AA or FXAA, it needs to be applied to the rendering after 3d objects, but before the HUD/Text for the best results. Obviously a...

I guess Maya is my main concern. Anybody else able to run maya 2008 on the 7970? No maya = no work done.

I've got a Saphire 7970, 1000w corsair PS and I've not overclocked my CPU nor my GPU. Coming from a GTX 295 which took way more power, so I'm sure my PSU is probably fine. When I run Heaven 2.5 in full screen it can run all day, but in a window it hard locks my PC within 5 seconds (doesn't...

The ones that came on my Saphire disk gave me scores 5% less than the ones from the AMD website.

Got my 7970 yesterday, and it wont run Heaven 2.5 even once in windowed mode without hard locking the sytem, and thats without messing with the clocks in CC. :eek: In full screen mode it doesn't seem to have any issues. My 3dmark Vanage score with stock clocks is 24659 using whatever...
