* Windows 7 64-bit Build 7600 with SP1
* Intel I5-650 with 4GB RAM
* MSI ATI Radeon R5670 1GB DDR5
* Catalyst control Centre with OpenCL x64 11.7**

* OpenSuse 11.4
* ATI driver version 11.5

**
V2.49b
Previously installed 10.* CCC with Version 2.49b - No problems.
During Normal windows operations my screen will just go blank, white or white with lines and just lock up the system. Have to hit reset to restart.
At this stage I thought it was faulty hardware or a driver problem.

V2.58.1
Driver versions 11.4, 11.5. Previous mentioned Lockup starts occurring while using blender now. (white screen, black screen, screen with lines)
Tried different draw methods but this happened with every draw method.
This does not happen on most other systems so I thought again it is a driver problem or hardware problem. On AMD/ATI 's website, the driver release notes specify numerous bug fixes regarding sudden blank screen, flickering, screen corruption. I installed 11.7 3/8/2011. No Blank screen or lockup yet ...

None of these problems happened while using 2.57 in Opensuse.

I'm dying for Anti-Alias Normal map baking.

PS: CPU doesn't matter?

I have not any problems with blender 2.5 or 2.6. Everything is running crisp. I have not had any crashes.... No problems at all.... I love blender....

So far so good, if there are any problems I will update

Graphic Card: Geforce 8600 GT 256 of Ram

All blender version I have used worked well. I've downloaded the last driver for my graphic card. Its CUDA enable. Opencl 1.0.

I can't use my graphic card with cycle with the last release candidate.

Windows 7 - 64 bit

Intel Core i5-2410M CPU @ 2.30 Ghz
AMD Radeon HD 6490M (1 GB GDDR5)

Blender is sloooooow! I've just done a default install.
All the menus and buttons are responding after one, two seconds only.

Do I need to adjust settings (graphics card or other) somewhere?

Blender is sloooooow!

Problem fixed, the culprit was the HP notebook "Switchable graphics" feature.

*Windows 7 64but ultimate sp1
*nVidia 250gts , nVidia 250gts sli (1024gb ram total)
*285.62 Driver (Release Date: 2011.10.24)

Note: everything works good except cycles cuda and opencl which requires version 1.3(cuda) and 1.1(opencl) and saying my card has only 1.1(cuda) and 1.0(opencl). Which it shouldn't becouse the drivers support shader maps to 2.0 (I believe).

Update to this.....

Apperently it was the card it's self. It wouldn't run 1.3(cuda) or opencl 1.1. Actually, Come to find out, It wasn't even able to run directx 11. So It was time to update. The updated card is.

nvidia GTS450.

Now it runs everything great (even cuda which speeds up render time considerably)

I have a HP, quad core, 4GB of RAM. Was using a GeForce 9500GS, 512MB of memory, no problem at all (Windows7 and Linux Mint12). Now I am using GeForce GTX 560 1GB of memory. Everything is running smoothly on both OS. With the GPU enabled, my rendering times a divided by 6.

Operating system Ubuntu 11.10
Graphics card ATI Radeon HD 5450
CPU AMD Athlon(tm) Dual Core Processor 4850B × 2
Blender 2.62.1

Blender fails with default Ubuntu graphics drivers (just drops out). Seems to work fine with proprietary drivers (not post release update version).
