Hi.
I just lost all my visual affects (shadows & reflections) to a driver update.
Using an AMD 7870 2GB [Yes, I know this card is unsupported]
Went form Catalyst Version 12.3 [shadows and reflections worked] to 12.6 [fail]
* The card was working great with 12.3 (with the exception of some hollow parts)
* I have workstations with an AMD 5870 and 4870 working just fine with 12.6
Are there any inventor or Catalyst Control Center tweaks to trick inventor to enable this hardware again?
Or should I roll-back the driver? 😞
And why does the system information (listed below) is showing "DirectX Version 10" instead of "11" ?????
This Direct3D graphics driver is Microsoft WHQL certified
