Widescreen Gaming Forum

I'm undecided on bezel management. For a game like Dragon Age or Mass Effect, during a conversation scene a character's face could be completely obscured by the bezel. I'm not sure that's better than the face being split in half across bezels.

How often do they release new drivers? I'm really just waiting for bezel manag... compensation. This is great news, but it has been tough waiting for ATI/NVidia to get their stuff together with surround gaming.

BM is in 10.3 which will be released in the third month (like the .2 was released in the 2nd). The cool thing for me is that hopefully we will get a BFBC2 CF profile on the day of release rather than having to wait until the mid/end of the month... but I digress.

BM is not really for FPS or iso type games IMO, but the sim guys really want it.

And now 10.2 is out. No bezel goodness, which is lame..

What's a good driver cleaner for ATI?

I feel the same way.

I do wish they didn't do BM with virtual resolution. I like how Matrox does it with the chopping.

I would rather have higher frame rate and extra black border at the extreme L and R end of the screen then lower FPS with the increased resolution.

I will notice a 5 to 10 fps drop with the extra resolution. that I would mind but I don't really care if the side bar is alittle larger.

Anyway with the "virtual resolution" thing... it will be iky when it comes to regular use.. imagine how awkward it is when you are working and your text/info gets cutt off on the BM resoutions. just hope there's a quick "toggle" hotkey to enbable/disable it like how matrox.

Wow, how thick are your bezels???!

Personally, i wish there were more options. Being able to use either depending on the game.

uninstall CCC, uninstall driver from device manager (delete), reboot to safe mode, driversweeper (dl from 3dguru), reboot to safemode, del ati*.* from system32 directory, reboot, clean.

fwiw, I installed 10.2 over the top of 9.12 hotfix without issues.

na I was just saying that since it's a virtual resolution and it will be higher than native resolution. I'm sure there will be a performance hit since the videocard is rendering at higher resolution.

I'm just assuming the fps hit will be at worst 5 to 10%
