I didn't install the OpenCL SDK thing and I don't have this problem anymore...

Do I really lose something by not installing that part? I only play games/watching movies...

Only normal drivers and catalyst. Many other things on driver setup I left 'em out.

Hopefully the opengl performance in x-plane 10 is much better now with these drivers than in cat 12.2 pre-release.

These are the best set to date IMO.

After removing this driver i got back to WHQL 12.2 but installing with WARNINGS in the end of the installation.After restart i got 2 or 3 crashes and GPU-Z is not showing OpenCL.I have remove 2 times 12.2 and installing again using driver sweeper but every time i got WARNINGS at the end of the installation and OpenCL in GPU-Z is missing and some random crashes at windows startup.I fix the problem using Atiman Uninstaller 6.3.1.The program completely remove all leftovers and i install 12.2 without errors and now GPU-Z is showing OpenCL.Sorry for the bad english.

also, you need to run windows update because it doesnt update the c++ libraries...

Portman87 · 03-23-2012, 18:10 | posts: 91 | Location: Bulgaria

Everything is fine for now thanks to Atiman Uninstaller 6.3.1.

Can you test it with GPUCapsViewer? Showing it installed doesn't mean it works, trust me.

finally a release that can replace the rc11 on 7970 crossfire and pwns it in every area

the ssaa improvements are very nice and is running a lot faster on all dx11 titles i play (bf3, saints row, civ5)

all skyrim flickers and artifacts are fixed...frames now rarely dip below 100fps at 2560x1600

ccc works well. none of the problems others reported. this was simply uninstalling rc11, reboot, install new drivers

overclock via ab is working fine but then i have unlocked bioses flashed across the cards

spooky..
it runs perfectly on mine..
BF3 and Skyrim are OK with crossfire and the 12.4 looks a winner..

this 12.4 driver, on my my system, averages over 90 fps
via Heaven Benchmark (at 1280x1024 - with 8/8)

- which ain't bad at all..!!

Just tested its ok the second problem was the pc crash but now its ok after clean uninstall with Atiman Uninstaller 6.3.1. and latest WHQL.

Driver is working great here. Cat 12.4 beta is all green lights. Everything works as it did in the 8.95.5's.

OpenCL is finally checked in GPUZ also. I don't have the clock issue others report though.

Eluder · 03-23-2012, 23:43 | posts: 41

Should we be using 12.2 CAP1's with these or no CAPs at all?

CAP 12.2's work fine here. I see no issue.

Anyone played with the OpenGL portion of these drivers? They are apparently the only thing updated over the previous 8.96 drivers.

This set is vastly different from the last 8.96. The fact that Crossfire works in BF3 and Alan Wake proves this.

Nope Portal 2 doesn't work with these and a single 7950 (CAPS or no CAPS).

Confirmed, Portal2.exe opens then closes by itself.

Holy crap these were horrible for me. It played fine with my single 7970 but when I added another for Crossfire I ran into BSODs (ATI driver message) and freezing anytime I opened up GPU-Z or CCC. I also tried this driver on another setup which had a 7750 and had nearly the same issue.

Back to 8.950.5.

ghost_one · 03-24-2012, 09:57 | posts: 56 | Location: Romania

should i use the latest CAPs with these or are they included ?

Mikedogg · 03-24-2012, 10:17 | posts: 2,872 | Location: The Freak Show - Earth.

There is an improvement with "Direct 3D" with this driver release, but "Opengl" suffers quite a lot.

(Remove space)

Not sure, but I think AMD only optimize the last two maybe three generations of their GPU'S .
If you are a 4xxx user or earlier like myself, your card will be supported, but don't expect it to be optimized for performance/image quality.
