I've just tried this track and only thing I could spot was some (I think green) glimmer, but it was almost invisible...
And my FPS in this track were Avg45, Max175, Min15

Sorry for my english...

Sorry, I had them, but deleted when reinstalled. I went back to 8800GT, it works better without strange ray-like/whirl artifacts. As fps, with 4850 I was getting about the same as you, but now I get 95 avg, 350 max, 30 min in the above mentioned track, at 4x AA, perfect, etc. 19" LCD.

Hi!

I recently got myself a new system, E7200 (@3,16ghz), 4 gb RAM, HD4850, Vista 64.

With using the 1946 4.09b, beta DLLs, Cat 8.7 I get a reproducable crash in The Black Death track after running it for about a minute. Other tracks seem to run fine.

I suspect it's an issue with the still early Catalyst drivers which have been reported as not being stable with the 48xx-cards. Can anyone with a comparable system confirm this?

Thanx.

I can confirm that crash, but I'm not sure if it was with 8.7 or 8.6 Fixed drivers and if it was in OpenGL or DirectX...
I can try it again today afternoon.

So just ran it with 8.6 Fixed drivers and no crash in The Black Death (tried both OpenGL and DirectX - so it seems like the latest drivers problem..)
