Correction venomv1986!
1º Go check the latest Graphic Drive on ie or Firefox, then you can get the work done.
2º Uninstall all Drivers From ATI.
3º Use CCleaner to delete some historic and bad files including Registry Keys.
4º Install the Drivers From ATI again.

5º Try.

Thanks man, it solved my problems . from which version did you get this dll from???

The dll that I sent to you is the CCC version 11.8, i´m glad that it worked.

It seems AMD has corrected the problems in the new drivers, but still, save that dll as a precaution.

good, it seems, you have a notebook, it would be interesting to look for the latest driver from AMD's website, if you do not have it installed.

One other thing...

It would be interesting you have installed an x64/64bit Operating System , that because you have 8GB of memory and you are only using a fraction of it... 32bit systems are limited to use only 3GB of memory,thus, a good amount of memory in your system is left unused.

Furthermore, a 64bit system is much faster, and using the 64 bit version of the emulator, you will be able to extract a few more fps.

ive gotta say my amd radeon 6450 has proven no problems for me and supermodel (not from what i know of the games at there current wip state >???<) but they all run 100% 60fps no slowdowns whatsoever.. just one word... AWESOMO !!!!!

Wonderful news! My understanding is that some people were deleting or renaming files to get newer drivers to work with Supermodel. Were you doing this or is this a legit 'clean' install of the new ATI drivers?

I also confirm, latest 12.11 beta 4 version, tested here and working.

Fresh install, with driver fusion, all the dlls and reg-entrys cleaned

The official version 12.8 had broken the driver again, but now with this new beta, it seems, have stabilized.

Here, HD 6870, on the error log OGL Info:

Fantastic! Hopefully it stays fixed I wonder what the problem was...

whew sorry for the long wait.
yes this is a legit clean install of the drivers i wiped the other ones.

[Toshiko]

Huh. Same driver version just gives me a black screen. In fact, EVERYTHING that uses OpenGL gives a black screen, including Photoshop. Thought the installation wasn't clean, so I wiped everything, downloaded again, and installed again... still a world of black. 12.10 did the same thing.

12.11 has done wonders for DirectX, though; pcsx2 and Dolphin are running faster than ever, and pcsx2's selectively jagged edges are completely gone. I just wound up dropping the 11.8 OGL dlls in program directories as needed to get the best of both worlds.

Also, have I mentioned that I'm never buying another ATI card?
