| I got the pink tint but fixed it after reading instructions in another forum.CCCGraphics drop down menu top leftDesktops & displaysRight click (or click the little black arrow) on the small monitor icon down the bottom where it says Please select a display and select Configure…Go to the color tab
Press the defaults button (bottom right) and ensure the colour temperature is 6500K under Color Temperature Control.
Default for mine was 6500k so I didn’t have to adjust anything after hitting Defaults; it just went straight back to 6500k from 6600k that it had been changed to. |
To manually add morphological AA
Quote:
You can try to add MLAA manually:
Start the Regedit
(/REGISTRY/MACHINE/SYSTEM/ControlSet001/Control/CLASS/{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}/0000) and look for MLF_NA. So change 1 to 0 and restart the CCC.
If MLF_NA is not available: Add it (and under UMD)! |
You can use the hotfix drivers but from my testing seems the normal drivers do it to on the 5800(have to test again later)
For any HD6xxx series users….from the Guru3D forum: http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?p=3757820
10.10d hotfix..The updated release is to fix an issue with MLAA on the HD6 series not being applied to some games.

AMD Catalyst™ Release Note Version 10.10
Note: The Drag and Drop Transcoding feature is a beta level feature
provided only for evaluation purposes. The Drag and Drop
Transcoding feature is only supported on single and dual core CPUs,
and supported on devices that support Media Transfer Protocol
(MTP).
Note: When upgrading from a non-Stream™ Edition driver suite to a
Stream Edition driver suite with the ATI Stream™ SDK v2 installed,
it is recommended that you uninstall the ATI Stream SDK v2
Developer component from the system prior to installing Stream
Edition driver suite.
Note: When installing the ATI Stream SDK v2 after a Stream Edition
driver suite has been installed on a system, you may encounter a
maintenance dialog for the developer component of the SDK. This is
normal and can be ignored by canceling the dialog box.
