Cool

Now to watch and see how much of a performance increase 7xxx owners are getting (specifically 7850) :p I don't get my card until tomorrow...

What this means? For Enduro or for all devices?

Any difference performance wise between this and the previous beta (you never know!)

Derko1 · 10-22-2012, 21:14 | posts: 252

I still have no sound from HDMI... so that issue is still there. Which stems from clocks being too low.

This happens right after I disable ULPS. Should I not be disabling it to OC with this set?

Edit: Never mind, has nothing to do with ULPS... it's simply the same as before. No sound because voltage and clocks are too low.

Ultra shadows does not work in skyrim, just like with 12.9 beta.
Also getting flickers/artifacts in witcher 2 (no flicker with 12.6.)

Derko1 · 10-22-2012, 21:38 | posts: 252

Driver is terrible! Majority of the same problems still there!

No sound via HDMI.
Too low clocks.
Explorer crashing.
Driver crashing.

Did a clean install with ATIMan. Not running any overclocking software.

Must be something about your system, ive not had any of those problems..

Hate to sound like a help-desk idiot, but have you tried a fresh OS install?

also, set your CPU OC back to stock just for the heck of it...

First bug so far... After watching a video with DXVA on, the clocks stay at 500Mhz. It shoud say 501Mhz ( the normal, when I'm watching the video ), but when I close the video it just goes from 501Mhz to 500Mhz lol... First time I see exactly 500. My idle clocks is normally 300Mhz.

Let's see the games now.

I played half an hour of BF3 with these drivers. No crashes, no glitches yet. Overall performance has improved. Nice job!

psyside · 10-22-2012, 21:55 | posts: 324 | Location: Macedonia

If you got 7950, still need this driver or not? (over the previous non hotfix)

NiColaoS · *Last edited by NiColaoS; 10-22-2012 at 22:05.*

Damn it, on BF3 the boost is real... It's almost like when I had my card overclocked at 1050Mhz ( 900 default ).

I'm playing Caspian full Ultra, 1080p and just a few times it goes below 50FPS, while it was happening very often before.

This means... Ultra with 2xMSAA you should be playing FINE! At least on vanilla maps.

Should I even bother install these with my ****y cards?

Joe · *Last edited by Joe; 10-22-2012 at 22:12.*

arghhhhh loveing the performance BUT one thing bothering me my clock speeds are all over while idle.

core can go 300/450/1050
memory stuck at 1200

suppose i can live with memory being at 1200 for now at least core downclocks to 300..

would be nice to have cool memory during the night though : / pc is on 24/7 might just down clock it manually before bed to 150 : )

psyside · 10-22-2012, 22:12 | posts: 324 | Location: Macedonia

Is there any new CAP? and please someone answer, if you got 79xx do you still need to install the hotfix driver or the previous is fine ?

No noticeable improvements for me at all, but I think my CPU is a real bottleneck.
