Hi Everyone,

As I was beginning the certification process for the new AMD/ATI cards I discovered this issue as well.  AMD/ATI is aware of it and have engineers working on a fix as I write this.  
The selection time seems to increase as the object polygon counts increase (a million poly object takes about 5-7 seconds to select).  A workaround at the moment is to use the explorer to make the selection.  There is no timeframe on the fix but I am sure you will see something in the near future. 

Mark

Try the "use application settings".

yes, AA is disabled. As far as the driver allows it. Theres no "always
off "
I can only set it to "use application settings"

Sven,

Have you checked the advanced driver settings and make sure you don't
have AA or other hardware features enabled by default.

Hi list,

I'm having issues here when rectangle selecting objects. All other
selecting modes as freeform, lasso and raycast work properly. Only the
standard selection is quite slow. For some reason installing older
drivers for
xp64
will give an error message that says "graphics hardware or OS not
supported"
So I'm stuck to the newest (8.44) driver atm...
I already contacted ATI but did not get an answer yet.
I tried with xp64 and vista64.
Does anyone had this issue? 

regards,
sven
