This is almost embarrassing to admit but I finished Cryostasis, Metro 2033, and most of The Saboteur with my 4890 core fixed at 500MHz. The entire time I was complaining to myself how slow everything was yet the thought of a problem never crossed my mind. Not sure how long this was an issue, I'd imagine at least the entire time I had the 10.3 previews installed. An uninstall, driver sweep, and reinstall of Catalyst 10.5 fixed the problem. :cool:
 
Was there an actual problem with your Catalyst install that made you uninstall & sweep? Usually you can just install the new right over the old without issue.
 
I am actually surprise someone actually finish Cryostasis, horrible game...
While I bought a 480, EVGA gave me a copy for free, its so shitty that I never want to try it again after first few 1 hours in there..

btw, what problem u were having?
 
The uninstall and sweep was for good measure. The problem was my core clock being fixed @500 at all times, desktop and games. It is now at 240 on the desktop and 880 in games.

Every time I try installing over the old catalyst drivers, I end up with problems. Overclocking doesn't work right, profiles broken, driver control panel crashing instantly, etc. I always have to do an uninstall + driver sweeper before installing the latest driver to avoid these problems.

While I love the performance of my new 5850, I gotta say, I never had this problem with Nvidia's drivers.
