    The fan % doesn't work, it always reports 30%. In HWINFO32, you can see fan RPM speed, which will change.

    Everything isn't set to Ultra, but a few things are. Things like Shadows are on "Good", Ground Clutter and View Distance.

    Other things like Texture Detail, Ansio, etc are all up to the Max.

    I am not using Multisampling or anything like that.

    It sounds like WOW just makes it work hard, even still, these drivers seem to have resulted in higher temps - which is probably fine. I'm within limits.

    Thanks, that would have driven me crazy if I hadn't known this. And knowing is half the battle.

    New driver for me = blank white screen within 2 minutes of any 3d app.

    We call those GSOD's. Your profile says you have a G73JH. I guess you never did the vBIOS beta update.

    MLAA can be enabled with a registry hack.

    I don't mess with the registry, I'll stay with 10.10c for now.

    Thanks though.

    Its a very straight forward changing 0 to 1 kind of change.

    Which enables the ...work in progress...that is MLAA.

    Its more for the purpose of you being able to say you have MLAA on your Mobility 5870 on 10.12. :D

    Installed 10.12, but I uninstalled after I had a random BSOD on the Win7 desktop. Using 10.11 atm.

    (BSOD caused by atikmdag.sys, oh and the Win7 is a fresh install)

    Any ideas on where I can download the older drivers? It seems ATI/AMD website only hosts the latest ones. Thanks.
