AMD Catalyst 13.11 BETA1 (13.200.16.0 September 26)

Me too =)
The freezing issue does not occur that often so I will stick with these for a while.

 

Hmm, haven't seen this with Chrome (stable) and Windows 8.1 on either my single-gpu desktop or dual-graphics laptop.

 

I cant seem to install these, my screen goes blank on install and stays that way, I have tried with crossfire enabled as well as completely disabled. I even took a card completely out of the PC and still no joy.

I either get blank screen or freezes my PC while installing the graphics driver.

Had a lot of trouble getting 13.10 v2 installed too but managed to do that one by going through device manager and updating the driver.

This one when i tried that again that froze my pc and of course failed to work.

Using 7970 ghz x2 btw

 

Switchable Graphics

Hey guys im new here and i was curious as to if this driver will work with amd switchable graphics. I have an HP Pavillion DV6 3164si running an amd ati hd 5650/amd hd4200 Switchable. ive tried countless drivers but they never worked properly http://forums.guru3d.com/images/icons/icon9.gif. And i need to get some newer drivers to somehow keep up with the gaming.

Any help will be appreciated

thx in advance http://forums.guru3d.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

 

me too, but only with I.E. windows 8.1

 

yeap that is why is called beta.. :nerd:
i had the freeze 2 under windows8.1 .. So avoid if you install windows 8/8.1
Under 7 work flawless.

 

Try using DDU to clean up first, then install?
I don't think that HD4200 still supported in newest driver...

thanks a lot for the latest update.

 

Telling everyone to avoid an entire operating system because you have a specific issue with it?

Edit: Oops, wrong context as pointed out below

I haven't had any freezes under 8.1...

Best to try the driver for yourself.

 

Your sentiments stand, and I agree with them.

However, I believe he was referring to the beta catalyst drivers, and not the operating system.

 

Just another confirmation that in Windows 8.1 these drivers occasionally will not wake the monitor. I had to disconnect and reconnect the cable to get it working again.

 

@ asder00

Any news on 13.11 beta5?

I saw they used it with a Preview
http://www.pcgameshardware.de/AMD-R...7/Tests/AMD-Radeon-R9-290X-Benchmark-1093119/

 

I had this happen once in 8.1 yesterday. But the rest of the time I was using these drivers, I didn't experience this issue.

Seems "rare", at least in my experience. Used to have them a lot back when I overrided my monitor's refresh rate.

 

Easy fix turn on your fave XXX screen saver and turn off screen time out.

Thx ill give it a go, i hope the drivers recommended here work. Im Starting to lose hope in this uke2:

 

this driver gave me a weird issue.

I have three displays connected, one, main via DP, one via DVI and one via VGA, the last one being a 37 inch samsung tv. the thing is, the image on the tv is all yellowish with this driver. got no idea how to change that. any ideas?

 

Does the driver enables DX11.2? I use a HD 8750m with GCN cores but on DXDIAG it just shows up to DX11.1

 

I have an HP dv6-6198sp with AMD 6770M 2GB and Windows 8.1 64bits. The drivers I got from HP doesn't work pretty well. My explorer.exe is crashing all the time and its some .dll's related to AMD fault. Can anyone tell me if u guys, with the same graphics, have this problem too? I don't know if this happens when the AMD graphics is on but happens a lot when Intel graphics is on (I use Fixed Mode).
Thank You!!

 

Ok guys it looks like the 12.6 driver worked, so far no problems. Thanks for the help, owe u one
