I was trying to install Nvidia using envy, running a 8800gt oc card now..pulled out the radeon till crossfire is working correctly in Ultimate Edition..
The problem using Envy?? I do not know for it crashed failing to install either an updated or use the same driver I had before this mess..and in the process it had uninstalled the driver..
So rebooted and started in the vesa mode..tried again...failure to install..crash
So tried to install using driver in Hardware Driver..rebooted and got even a bigger mess...
Am already reinstalled..just have to upgrade and update
Just was warning as each system is different..maybe not the way to go, for some...
Damn it Twice I have done this, sorry for the edit v/s quote:
Wow, I now stand corrected... I will let you know ATI is a problem child of a card, If I had not gave my cards to the ol lady, excuse the terms I use them lightly, would be back in my machine... I fight from the snap to install Ultimate Edition and now understand what users go though, my screen flickers until I can click envyng, it is the battle of which card goes to the screen... Piss poor ATI and now AMD's handywork... the 8800 is the worst supported card minus a, I think 5200 nvidia 99% of the time w/o a hitch, I will let you know cab has a 8800, there are many posts on this board for that card. I see hardware on a heavy level & hate ATI, but had no choice at the time. I am hoping AMD to endure and eat ATI's tab, they bought them after all. AMD is fully supportive, ATI a joke, I hope to see a change.
I will not BS you if I have to I will call that to happen, I see over 1/3 a million a month frontpage that, I will not play... How long do you think it will take for AMD to "get their nose into ATI's grindstone", they bought them right? Sure this board bottom of the barrel, lets strip it across all sites... Bad publicity I am sure was the last thing they wanted to see... I will w/o a doubt make a change. I have said in the past I would own #1 position in google did it happen? I will say no more this eve. AMD/ATI better hit it now, I will not play I will start a campaign.
