I just go to control panel, and uninstall the drivers through the install manager.
Reboot.
Use the AMD driver clean up utility (not for use with windows 8)
Reboot.
Install new drivers.

These drivers seem to be pointed at Crysis 3 and Crossfire.
So I won't be using these.

They could be a bit more descriptive with the changelogs. I mean it would be perfectly ok if they just added "various internal bugfixes" or something like that, because they way it is you'd think they only fixed one issue with one game, which is... weird?

Crysis 3 again ??! What about Tomb Raider optimizations ?!

I was almost going nuts because I couldn't get my overclock stable in Crysis 3, apparently it wasn't my fault in the end =)

D3D, and OGL have not changed from beta6

there are no other fixes.

Yeah express uninstall, reboot and use Driver Sweeper in safe mode, then CCleaner - registry/stuff, reboot and install new drivers.

Simkin84 · 02-27-2013, 22:23 | posts: 122

Or just use Atiman Uninstaller

Only if you don't have an AMD Chipset or SATA Controller, otherwise you risk having your OS unbootable.

Safest option in my situation is Driver Sweeper (or later versions as Fusion). Both Atiman and AMD's utility broke my OS. Your experience may vary.

Just uninstall from control panel - reboot - install new driver - reboot - play !!

Please dont do all that useless stuff like running driver cleaners and etc.

PLease please i hope to dear god this is the same issue im getting cause i cant play crysis 3 at all with crossfire enabled otherwize my system freezes then driver recovers and i know for a fact its not my overclock cause it does it at stock clocks to.... please let this be the fix.

EDIT: nope still freezes and driver recovery with both my 7950s in crossfire, only works for me in single gpu mode

this is bull**** thats what this is.

eclap · 02-27-2013, 22:43 | posts: 18,434 | Location: Hampshire UK

don't have amd chipset/sata but will avoid it. I'll just do what I always do, uninstall, reboot in safe mode, run driver sweeper/ccleaner, reboot run them again and then install new driver. thanks for the warning btw.

Good job AMD! I'll skip this one, as I'm settled with my lil' 7850 :3

Sadly, didn't rectify my crysis 3 "hangs" in xfire, still suffering from occasional DX_GI_ERROR claptrap. Sad, too, as crossfire performance (especially when combined the unequaled Radeonpro feature set , I.e. dynamic v-sync) has soared in nearly every recent (2 years or so) AAA title I've tested subsequent the splendiferous 12.11 driver.

Currently I am functioned by dual 7970 lightnings running 1125 / 1600 as my Crysis 3 exclusive hyper underclock. Typically stable @ 1300 / 1600 though, unfortunately at x16 & x8 pci-e 2.0 (though its largely irrelevant). I am going to do a sweep of drivers and operate stock clocks, see if it rectifies this sad & frustrating blemish on AMDs quarter-long, incredible driver optimization flip flop we users have been benefactors of.
