Fuck you ATi!

[Grim Warlock]

Here's the story, I had to get a new graphics card because my NVidia GeForce was dying. So I decided to get this "very good" expensive ATi graphics card; ATi Radeon HD 5700 Series. Now that I have it installed, inserted, etc. I can't run certain games, I can run Quake but not with OpenGL, I can run Quake 2 in windowed-mode because when I use fullscreen with software settings the colors fuck up and when I try using OpenGL it crashes.

IDK man I got a 6850 and it works greak. Which 5700 is it? Dont install the drivers on the CD go to the AMD website and get the newest driver.
I have an issue with by card to but its no big deal, when i start glpro it runs but I get a black screen then I have to alt + tab out and back and then i get the picture, its only in glpro all other clients don't do this.

[powerzord]

5770 run for about $120 now. I also got a X1650 pro in my file server and had a 9800 pro that crapped out and a beast of a card 4870 x2 that i just sold for $100.

Are you using Windows7 ???? You bought DirectX11 , so.............

please dont answer no.....

I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit with DirectX 11. But it has to be video card related because it was working before I got this ATi video card.

Now you guys are kinda scaring me! I'm looking at getting a new system from ibuypower and it comes with an ATI 6870. What are the member experiences with this card? I am looking at perhaps an Nvidia instead, but need to stay within budget. I have an X1650 in an old AGP rig and it does give me problems with Quake without the -bpp32 in the command-line. Please give me your thoughts guys.

are you using the newest proquake? 4.51 or whatnot if so u shouldn't have color issues the old 3.50 client had issues with newer cards and the screen would load white.

I intend to use the newest Darkplaces with this new rig. I can actually play it at a lower resolution on the old rig without normal-mapping. I'm just curious about members experiences with the 6870.

Many have had this issue on the Steam forums:
Find Catalyst 10.4, then copy the atioglxx.dll and paste in the the exe's folder.

There's the DLL by itself

Go with the 6870. I got a 6850 and I can play all the new games in 1080 on high settings and 4x aa and still get good FPS. Only difference between ATI and Nvidia has been, NVIDIA was a tittle faster but ATI always looked the best but now that the 6990 came out ATI has the fastest card on the market at the moment.

I'm using a 5770 CrossfireX solution from ASUS, and I couldn't be happier. I concur with AAA , don't stress because games created in 1996 and 1998 are TEMPORARILY not working with your 2011 video card. Some games I thought would be fixed because I upgraded videwo cards DIDN'T!!! (Fallout 3:GOTY edition, remained a crashy peice of shit!)

I garuntee you will be satisfied with your purchase once you've worked out the kinks!!

ATI Radeon? Video Card Drivers <- 5series 64bit Win7.

I'm using 32bit Win7 , and the apps in question are 32bit AFAIK.
I've re-read your post a couple times and think could use some more details.

I just finished Fallout New Vegas and its a glitchy crashy piece of shit.

OoPpEe,
Thanks for the download of the dll. You are meaning the exe of the engine of my choice (DP) correct? I'm also using other engines like Fitzquake, Qrack, Telejano, Tenebrae, and Tomaz, do I do the same there or..
Sorry for the hassle.
