My laptop told me today it would love to have some new drivers installed, a month passed again

SaiBork · 05-19-2012, 16:09 | posts: 100

Yeah, marthand, where are you? I'm getting these strange urges to test more of your releases!

Comrade_Jerkov · 05-20-2012, 14:06 | posts: 129 | Location: Boston, MA

Why were these drivers posted up again on the main page?

TheOriginalTO · 05-20-2012, 14:41 | posts: 263

They never left it, they just shoot to the top when people post in them.

SaiBork · 05-20-2012, 15:08 | posts: 100

No, it's a sticky, it always stays there. And besides that, these are the newest available.

Does the fact that this sounds dirty to me mean I spend too much time on the internet?

Thanks marthand

These are so old by now...weird that it only gets posted on Guru front page now.

I need my driver fix. Seeing all the new nVidia updates make me feel like i'm missing out.

SaiBork · 05-20-2012, 19:45 | posts: 100

Ah now I get it, it has been posted at the top with the latest binaries on the main guru page. I hardly ever check that haha. I always just keep an eye on on the forums, which is usually faster than the main page anyway.

These drivers work great (12.5 BETA) with:

Eyefinity
Crossfire Eyefinity (2xHd7970)
iRacing in single GPU mode (created profile)
vsync across 3xscreens
BF3
Race07

Good so far and my second gpu down clocks at desktop.

Good god.

LOL

Just seeing that you have iracing single gpu mode is that due to stuttering in game. seems to suffer bad stuttering even with high fps well in the 200s. Would just lov know if iracing hates crossfire as i have read that 6870s can suffer bad stuttering in general

Hopefully so.

My BF3 has never run this good. I am using a single 1GB 6870 all Ultra with the following settings @ 1920*1200.

Motion Blur - Don't like the effect
NO AA
Medium Post Processing. High blurs the image too much for me.

These are some seriously fast drivers for BF3. I am going to try Dirt 3 now and report back.

Anyone has problem with OpenGL games? I have bars that move up and down... It could be windows 8 also...

Pff sucky catalyst BS, everything except 12.1 works awful and i did the cleanest installation process known in the mankind, with every version! and yet display driver has stopped working on all 12.2,12.3, 12.4 (terrible) and now on 12.5 no display driver has stopped working, but shockwawe player crashes, and makes chrome totally freeze, i cant even close it and i got cursor loading thing for like 20 seconds

Its really frustrating!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No problems this side.
Might be faulty card or system component.

Comrade_Jerkov · 05-24-2012, 23:42 | posts: 129 | Location: Boston, MA

Well I guess next Wednesday for the officials. I don't really expect anything awe inspiring though. I tried these betas with my old 7970 and the 11.12's ran better. Granted these are an early beta of what AMD will be releasing.

I wouldn't expect a massive performance increase but stability and cleaning up texture corruptions would be nice for once lol.

the best driver for me so far, cheers.
No more shut down/overheat when playing skyrim with enb and the game runs smoother too!
