Still points to the same driver DriverVer=01/04/2012, 8.921.2.0000
not yet uploaded or wrong link i guess.

^ Just installed, and can confirm, it is the same driver

[Jakshi]

Waiting for a mod to allow Super-Sampling on 6970/50 ^^.

[iamgod1985]

Do you guys just install this over the 1/9? Or uninstall 1/9, boot into safe mode, run driver sweeper, & then install this new driver?



I am basically asking if the later step is necessary. Does anyone really know? Or it just to be on the "safe" side.

No, it's not necessary but I do sometimes run driver sweeper.

[iamgod1985]

wth? this driver still says 11.12 and the same packaging number as 1/9 drivers (8.921.2-120104a-131222E-ATI).

I am looking at the catalyst control centre (information and software section).








edit: actually wait, 8.921.2. So I guess the .2 is different than before? Anyone confirm? I am sure it is. Just making sure (paranoid).

So this is the same driver from the 9th with a different date on it because they are EXACTLY the same size.

WTH is wrong with this company?

All i do is, Programs & Features, double-click the ATi Install Manager, select to uninstall all, then after the reboot, i install the new ones

They still not updated the link yet
