Yes, it's not needed by most installs. I only made it because we have about 30 machines at work that do need it.

I had the same issue with this driver...thinking of getting rid of that 3rd party driver in my installations.
Isnt supposed to only install on some specific hwids instead of all machines?

OK, this is now fixed with DriverPack Chipset 11.11. I split the AMD Filter drivers off to their own Third Party DriverPack.

That would be AWESOME!

That is a good solution... Looks like i need to work on a NT6 app that is a combination of SAD and DriverPacks Finisher

OK, I'll remove them and add them to a Third Party DriverPack instead.

Well, the Intel drivers in 11.10 are the newest available and they're not RTM, they're final release. From here:

I can confirm that it works if you remove the AMD Filter folder...

perhaps there is a piece of HW that could commonly identify most modern intel chipsets such as a "Firmware Hub Device", a intel USB Universal Host Controller, etc.

Yes, I added it back into DriverPack Chipset thinking everything would be fine with the new drivers.
The problem is that in my organization we have nothing but HP machines with AMD chipsets (Phenom CPU) and this driver is needed for our systems. So while it may cause problems for some Intel-based systems, it's needed for newer AMD systems.
What's the solution? I don't want to remove the filter drivers because I (and others) need them.
Can you confirm that the problem is solved when the \AMD\1\Filter\ folder is removed? If that's the case, then I'll just update the changelog with the notice that those folders should be removed if integrating on Intel hardware.

Seems this problem is back after the 11.09 release:
>>11.09
>>...
>>Updated:
>>- AMD\1 AMD package from 8.881 package.

This probably re-introduced the filter-drivers removed in 11.04.1
>>11.04.1
>>Removed
>>- AMD\1\Filter AMD PCIE Filter Driver (reported here: http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?id=4516)

Ran into it on intel HW, causing the GFX to fail. The problem seems to be that the the filter driver matches hardware not from AMD.

AMD 3GIO PCIE Filter - delete
AMD USB Filter - delete
SMBus and AMD AHCI Controller Driver - not delete - good drivers

OK, that's proof enough for me. They're OUT!

The AMD PCI Express (3GIO) Filter Driver causes problems like in the first post. No fix from AMD... Tested on an Asus EeePC with Intel-Chipset and Intel Graphic.

Well we got a whole load of new HP workstations (AMD Phenom) at work and they all need these drivers. That was why I added them.
In any case, the main cause for problems was the older drivers were named "pci.sys" but they're now renamed "atipcie.sys" which avoids the whole issue.
Thanks for the 8.84 alert...downloading now...
