add what does your radeon info look like - in the ATI Displays?


this is what my machine looks like:

'radeon info.pdf'

and in the system profile - can you show me what yours looks like:

'system profile.pdf'

and the ati extensions in the 'system profile' application:

'ati extensions.pdf'

Did you install the October 2004 Retail Radeon update?

im really not sure whether this works with the OEM card or not.

I dont have an OEM card, only the retail one.

I will get all that to you as soon as I can. Just in the middle of some shows at the moment.

Pretty sure it was the October Update that I downloaded. I did so after you posted about it on here.

thanks toby.

Im trying to find out what the differences are between your computer and mine wrt drivers etc.

[tharding]

Although it is a long time since, I am still having the tearing problem when in fast disc mode despite updating firmware and drivers for my cards. Recently I used a third rental machine in which I installed a Raptor and the tearing occured there as well.

On my machines I am now running a 4 raptor striped raid and in fast disk mode I can run 5 to 6 layers at full frame rate but in slow mode it is back down to 2 solid layers at 25 fps.

I'm hoping V4 somehow solves this problem.

try installing 10.3.3 on a single drive in a single machine.
and see what happens.
10.3.3 has proven to be the least problematic.

also - you did use a separate disc for the system - and the media drives?

I have single Raptors set up as Catalyst System only drives with basic installs and no other applications. I then run my external raids or an internal content drive.

I will try the 10.3.3 option and let you know.

I have tried the 10.3.3 install and the problem seems to have gone away.

I will test my other system and let you know.

apple seemed to have changed something in the graphics architecture after 10.3.5
i hung around seeing if it got changed again.
10.3.3 is the best solution for now.
