AMD Catalyst 12.x (8.982.0.0 RC1 July 19) Unofficial BETA

Wondering...when they will fix it i cannot use any of the new driver since 12.4 coz of that bug. It's really soo hard to fix it AMD? :nerd:

 

it's not amd's fault...adobe flash and browsers are failing with it...

 

So this drivers suppose to work on Win8? Can't get them working...
I have a 6850 card and the only stable driver which runs fine on WIn8 is an official one from AMD.
When I install this (or any other driver including official driver for Win8) I get an error during the installation, smth like this "Application Install: Install package failure" (tried to use driversweeper and ATIMAN uninstaller - didn't help), but the driver itself installs fine. And when I go in game (doesn't matter which game) - after a few secs my screen just freezes and after 30sec or so I get an error that N game has crashed.
Tried overclock/underclock - didn't help.
Gonna update my Win8 Consumer Preview to Release Preview. Maybe it will solve the issue...

 

If not so why this is not happening on the older drivers? :evilgrin:. In overall it's whatever to me . Im using for a long time 12.3 whql, no need for a drastically change.

 

that error is just c++, ignore it and run windows update after to get the security fix.

 

The security fix isn't the latest version of the c++ runtimes. I don't know why they use such an old version of the runtimes. Wonder how soon they'll switch to VS2012 when it is released...

 

consistancy i would guess, but who knows really..

 

has anyone tried these with trifire 7970s?

i want to try these but i dont want to unless i know the have fixed a lot of the microstutter in bf3 as well as fixed the bug in 3d mark where scores are incredibly low.

 

I tried these earlier but I'm having an issue with the CCC (the issue also happens in the official betas); the video quality and colour settings do not save. for example if I disable (uncheck) edge enhancement and then restart, it will be turned on again. is anyone else experiencing this, and is it something the OP can fix?

 

i have/had the same issue, at least first i unchecked them all, when i opened ccc they were checked again. Now for the third time they are not...

 

Installed these on Windows 8, but CCC is not working for me.
Ran installation of 9.00 to install the CCC from there, but showed current version was same or newer. So I uninstalled the CCC from this one and reinstalled using the 9.00 included ones, but sadly CCC is still not working.

Catalyst Control Center cannot be started.
There are currently no settings that can be configured using the Catalyst Control Center.

Guess I'll go back to 9.00

**Edit:
Got this working now. Ran 9.00 installation on top of current 8.982 install and updated the available packages (display drivers, APK and HDMI) and restarted. Then it started working.

After that, used computer management to install these (8.982) display drivers.

So now running all 9.00, but 8.982 display drivers.

 

someone tested Zero Core with these? Does it work?

 

Wich WDDM version dxdiag reports from this drivers?

Thank you.

 

Already said a page back, but it is 1.2, so all is good

 

Can i use this with 4800 series ? Why fix ini file does not support for 4000 series ? thanks

 

Because they are concerned legacy. The latest driver for 2xxx-4xxx series is 12.6 beta

 

Sanks :infinity:

 

So i think latest is Catalyst Legacy 12.6 WHQL with support of AGP versions

What card/cards are you using?

These things keep downclocking with HD 7970 Crossfire to 2D in 3D apps for me.

 

downclocking..?? why;; i use 2 oc'ed 7850 cf..now i face only internet lag once or twice each session...play is soft and smooth with this particular driver set...

even for hours...if i had it on ssd then it would be...like...waterfall...:banana:

have you installed the fixed package and used cleaners as atiman's uninstaller.;
