Problem Installing 5870

Hou_JaI — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 14:49:19 +0800

I am trying to change my card from 9800GTX+ to ASUS 5870 ... After I slot in the card, log into windows, I tried to install ATI catalyst then got an error ... Google a while then figure out its SQL server 2008 which causes the problem ... Then I uninstall SQL server 2008 and try re-installing the driver. Some how, the installation say "completed with warning". I checked the log and couldn't find anything suspicious ....

I then check the device manager and saw that the Display adapters with the following error message ...

This device cannot start. (Code 10)

Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available.

Please help !!!

Anti-Aliasing NOOB

Hou_JaI — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 11:19:46 +0800

Hello all, I "Just" realized that if I change the settings to 16XC for AA, all my freaking game turn much smoother with better graphics ... so

Question 1:
Why the heck when I switch from 4X AA to 16XAA C, the game changes to become better?!?!? all this while i tot the more the AA the more performance impact it will be i.e. much slower ...

Question 2:
What is the difference between 16XAAC vs 16AACQ??!!? When I switch to 16AACQ, thats when the games is unplayable

Thanks for any feedback!!

P/S: mod please close the thread in software section tq!
