Is AMD ever going to get it right. Installed the CAP and was delighted to see 90 fps on single HD 6950 until I found out I was unable to communicate with npc's. Looking through several forums I found a fix. Activating ubersampling allows me to talk but cuts fps down to 28. Just can't win. Anyone else have this problem?

Is it that you can't click on the NPCs initially or that you can't select dialogue in the conversation?

I sometimes have troubles selecting dialogue in the conversation where the mouse doesn't want to respond but selecting the dialogue with keyboard works in that case.

I have a HD 6870 with CAP4 installed.

people with one card (single gpu) should'nt install CAP profiles. It's mostly for crossfire users and normally shouldn't improve performance on single gpus (with few exceptions)

It is known that people using crossfire (or cards with multi gpu) have the problem where they cannot interact with noone, and no life bar appears when fighting enemies. Appart from that the light bleeding issue is semi present, sometimes it doesn't appear sometimes it does so it's not completely fixed

@catalystcreator said they are working with CDPR to fins a solution where it doesn't involve loosing performance for those cards.

Amazing the different problems that crop up. I use a pair of 5770's and haven't had any dialogue problems or selecting npc's. Using 11.5b with CAP3 / RadeonPro: Dirt 2 profile/alternate frame rendering. Light flares are gone, albeing game is choppy/jerky in areas. ATI expected to relase whql drivers mid-June.

of course the problems are with the witcher 2 profle. Other profiles like the dirt2 one might work but performance wise are much worser than the real one but as you said no problems with lights/npcs with the dirt2 one.

Rolled back to 11.5a (5/13/11) and Cap 3. Best performance for me

Really getting frustrated here, 2X4850 in CF, cannot interact with anyone, not just NPC's but even quest related characters so I cannot progress in the game. Light flares are gone but its just one problem replaced by another.

Running Vista 64 bit, 11.5b with CAP4. This blows.

was not totally AMD's fault as it was all working until patch 1.2 came in

Hate to disagree with you but every bit of literature that AMD has put out has stated just the opposite. Although the Caps are primarily for Crossfire almost all CAPS contain some performance improvements that will benefit single card users.
This is no longer an issue anyway since the problem has been fixed with 11.6

didn't expect a response :-)

this is what CatalystCreator said about this

"CatalystCreator Andrew D
CAP updates are 99% for CrossFire users, very rarely for single GPU updates (sorry)"

just as i said, very rarely CAPs are for single gpu users

Catalyst creator is new, Still learning the ropes. cant always be right.

Is this for Eyefinity or CrossfireX only? I'm a regular joe with a single card and display.

Single card, Multiple card, single display, multiple display, mobility - as long as your product is supported by the main catalyst driver, the application profile update applies. Do eeet! Do eeet nauuughh!
