I recently upgraded to an ATI HD 4670 with a fanless cooler on it for my Win XP GBPVR box. At the same time, I decided to grab the latest drivers with the CCC bundle (10.1).
After installation I found that all the controls to adjust the geometry of the image on my TV, including over-scan were missing. I had to go back to driver version 9.11 or earlier to get them back. Having done a bit of a search, it seems others have seen this too.
Basically, the settings for the monitor/TV attached via HDMI are missing in newer drivers. Unfortunately, the older drivers that do have the settings seem to be buggy with the 4670. This effectively breaks this card for any kind of HTPC role. Very sucky indeed. I will have to go back to my 2600 Pro, with it's noisy fan.
Anyone else come across this?
