Please no more of this bro. We appreciate the leaks, but it's apparent they are calling the same driver 12.6 and 12.7. It doesn't matter at this point who is wrong or right, as you BOTH have been WRONG and RIGHT.

Guess what? In the end it still looks like childish squabbling over something retarded.

Again, thank you for the drivers, but don't continue this retarded number war.

For the sake of keeping threads on topic, and us everyday users.

Thank you for this. It is horribly annoying to try an find productive and informative posts about each driver between all of this bickering about a fricken name. If you want to think this driver is called 3.1415926...then so be it, it just doesnt make sense to argue about it.

I cant wait to get this loaded up!

asder I appreciate the driver updates, but it's bloody confusing knowing which is the latest one, as the one in the sticky is 12.7 also.

Yes, AMD's website claims it to be a 12.6 hotfix. So it's hard to say.

It's safe to say the 26th's are the newer set.

cool thanks, I always try drivers out anyway and do benches against most popular games and run a heaven benchmark so hopefully there are some nice improvements as I can always compare.

Yeah but

8.981.2.1-120625a-141547E-ATI ( 25 June )

8.981.2-120626a-141571E-ATI ( 26 June )

xDD

SO 26 JUNE IS MORE RECENT !!!

This is the official AMD beta (it's listed on the website). The 25th June driver was never officially released as a beta.

Yep seems that this is the Final version of 12.6 as Beta is nowhere to be found in the title.

Also they posted 12.7 betas.

Cool to know I guess. Gonna try em out.

Nice to see AMD posting beta drivers on the official driver page now.

Sorry I'm not perfect, and forgot to quote him. Did not mean to confuse you.

AMD Lists BOTH the 12.6 Final, and 12.7 beta on the same page. Thus why I worded it the way I did.

12.7 beta's listed on AMD's site with the 12.7 CAP1, is of now the latest game fixes/improvements.

The 12.7CAP is worth installing as it has single and multi GPU fixes.

AMD is talking up some big game here:

http://blogs.amd.com/play/2012/06/28/the-new-catalyst/

Let's see if these drivers can handle my 5x1 120 Hz setup in 7970 Quad-Fire.

Thanks a lot for the drivers asder but i dont know this is the very first time that my norton detected virus after i installed this driver.

its saying atiumdva.dll(suspicious.cloud.7.EP)is a virus and it removed it.

is it a false positive virus shall i restore it and ignore it?.
