Been running these for the past week now, not noticed anything odd happening, but I also haven't really been playing anything interesting really. Lack of games worth playing

It's such a shame that they completely dropped the support for the 4xxx series

Speaking about my personal experience (4870 1GB) I can safely say that any official driver after the 10.5a introduced noticeable random framerate drops in several games such as BC2 (the most affected one), Dragon Age and Fallout 3, not to mention the issues that are plaguing many of the 4870x2 owners:

I haven't tried the 10.10a yet, but I will do later  .

Interesting, and true that the many different hardware configurations and other software will produce certain results, this could be a larger problem though as I've seen in mentioned before even though it doesn't affect me in any of those games.
Though as you did say with this driver release focus will be shifting to the ATI 6000 series slowly even though older cards will be supported but probably isn't the main focus.

dont be silly, its not always like that, but if a new card is imminent or just arrives its going to take some focus right? its got to, plenty folks out there unlike us sabin that "can" change the card every 2 weeks  unfortunate that its that way but it is... |

What exactly have NVIDIA done for G92/G80 cards lately? Last year with my 9800 GTX I still had to roll back a driver because it kept crashing nonstop, NVIDIA doesn't care about old cards either. Nothing new, and it'll always be like that

lol i guess, fortunate the games played to date would always play well on my 4870, best you can do is just update to the latest build as they appear, ive not done 10.10 yet still on 10.9 and dont have any trouble so leave it till i do. |
