Ignore him, he has yet to figure out that Guru is a more adulterated site compared to many others.

Cheers.

Umm?
adulterated - past participle, past tense of a·dul·ter·ate
Verb:
Render (something) poorer in quality by adding another substance, typically an inferior one.

Fixed.

From what I can see in atiumdag.exe there's some new profiles and possibly some for not-yet-announced games either.
(I have no idea what's in the included app profiles though.)

There's a profile for Path of Exile (\Path of Exile\client.exe) which is nice for those in the beta and after that there's one for the recent Mount & Blade expansion and earlier titles in this series (mb_wfas.exe for the expansion.) and after that there's WarGame.exe which I'm not quite sure what it is but it's probably WarGames European Escalation and then there's FireFallClient.exe which is a free 2 play MMO currently in limited beta testing, Stack.exe comes after that which might be Stacking and then Asura.exe which could be Asura's Wrath though that's not announced for PC or anything and could perhaps be something else, finally there's RRU.exe which I don't quite know what it is but wasn't there something called Ridge Racer Unbound? and lastly something called XGame.exe

EDIT: Atidxx32.dll
StarTrekOnline Gameclient.exe
Dirtshowdown.exe
rp6_press_demo_2_win_r.exe (No idea, maybe Resident Evil 6.)
(And F1 2011 which I guess is updated.)

Thanks Jonas.
So it supports 7970, right? Even in W8(folders from this set)
So, no Risen 2 profile

[JonasBeckman]

Haven't seen a Risen 2 profile yet, I think that's a TWIMTBP Nvidia title though I could be wrong, will see if I can find something, maybe a future app profile installer will include it otherwise.

These seem to be a Windows 8 drivers (But works on Vista and W7) from what I can see via the folder structure, not too much is included in them but there's a number of AMD hardware drivers (motherboard it seems.) and yes it supported my 7970 card.

[Xzibit]

Cool. Waiting for Risen2 profile

Driver is solid as a rock. I see more detail on the carrier in BF3 for sure on karkand.

Crossfire working, no stutter, no mouse lag. Thanks marthand and AMD.

[pcgamers]

Thanks Marthand for a new driver release, and the_virus as well for the mirror with faster download speed . Will try to run some benchies and compare to previous drivers.

[ghost_one]

is there a TERA profile in it ?

( Thanks for the driver and mirrors )

[Cartman325]

[Olvik]

Thanks!

[Despoiler]

The idle clocks are fixed with this set. Won't have time to test anything more until after work.

Edit: Zero issues so far. League of Legends and Natural Selection 2 run great.

[ipredator]

Is the included CAP the 12.3 1 or a new 12.4?

caps package has almost a month newer build date

[MerolaC]

Thanks marthand!

A question for you guys.
I have been having problems when using Hardware decoding on ArcSoft Total Media Theater. The screen goes black, then goes back to normal, but TMT crashes (I guess is the card reseting)
This is since 12.1 i think.
Anyone has a solution?
Also, Hardware de-interlacing is working like crap.

Looking forward to trying these! was just about to reinstall Windows so its nice to start with a new driver! I wish I hadn't needed to re-install, but the drive I have Windows on is failing despite being new, as well as another new drive, which I started a thread regarding packaging back to Seagate about...

Anyways, a bit off topic, but it means I can start a fresh Windows with a fresh display driver, so its not so bad!

Anyone managed to download them from The_Virus links, they seem to download fine, but when trying to unpack, it fails saying :- unknown method in 8.97-120418a\packages\drivers\SBDrv\SB6xx\RAID\LH64A\ah cix64s.msi and a load of other files from the same folder, and when they've all unpacked and appeared, all the files are 0k in size.

A more on topic question; anyone know if this driver works in Windows 8 CP?

[Portman87]

Is this driver official?

No doubt the best drivers for 7970 Crossfire and BF3. first impression is very good.

Yeah, on my first try to unpack using winrar this happened to me too. Then I download 7zip.exe, install it and extracting the files without any problem. I tried to install the catalyst and no problem so far.

Just update your software regularly and you wont have any problems. Winrar 4.10 unpacked normally.
