AMD Catalyst 12.11 (9.010.8 November 15) AMD Official BETA 11

I think if you want AMD gpu, then you have to wait for at least a year since gpu release date, because their driver developing team is very slow...

 

I've installed Cat 12.11 Beta11 and made a few tests with BF3. After ~10 minutes of playing my PC stuck, freezed and crashed. When rebooted, Windows 8 had been corrupted, the ntoskrnl.exe was corrupt and a bunch of other files were missing. As I was did not have W8 disk (upgrade ver.), I almost despaired. Lucky that Windows 8 is smart, and its own BSOD gaves me a list of options to choose what I want to do. I tried to start without WHQL drivers requirement and rebooted. Windows started a restoration and ran chkdsk.

The good part, Windows 8 was back, good and safe. The bad part, he returned back in time to November 19th, I lost a LOT of stuff and I have to do a undefined number of documents all again. Think in a huge number of unique .docs that have been gone. >.<

Just to get better, my AC3 save with +30 hours of play was GONE with this crash, the AC3 folder does not even exist anymore!

Annnnndddddddd looks like I'll have to download the Hitman and BF3's Aftermath again. x_x

 

6 sieries is arleady maxed out about improve performance.

 

This isn't true bro, I could cleary see a noticeable performance improvement in BF3 @ Win 8, but Win 7 still performs way better.

 

There are two exe in farcry 3, one is simple farcry3 and other is farcry3_d3d11, try the farcry3_d3d11 one.

 

Should I download the version with or without .NET 4 support?

I have Windows 8 x64

 

Without, WIndows 8 probably already has .NET 4.

Thanks for these asder

 

...

Same garbage drivers...

I have Windows 8 x64. Photoshop CS6 still have flickering issues (since catalyst 12.6), games have stuttering (Sleeping Dogs, Farcry 3, Call of Duty Black Ops 2, F1 2012 and X-Com Enemy Unknown). Not to mention the game Battlefied 3 that keeps crashing after 10-15 minutes... :bang:

I´m really worried with the quality of Catalyst drivers... I do not understand why It take more than six months to fix some repeatedly reported bugs that are very easy to be reproduced...

 

Have you ever reported about this bug via amd site's form?

 

Installer says everything except transcoding / media stuff is already up to date

Display driver is already up to date trying to upgrade from Beta 8 ?

 

Then it's time to put your gpu into legacy status, as they (AMD) did with my HD 4000 card! (sarcasm) Damn you AMD!! Why do some of the HD 7000 cards owners have problems with their products? How is that possible?

 

What problem? I have one Asus K53TA around with the same spec and using all betas until now, works fine...disable that hybride crossfire.

 

>All these accounts with less then 100 posts, some of them even less then 5 posts bashing AMD in this thread

Aw, did somebody need their juicy? Babies first trolls are so cute, but you must be tired and need a nap.

Also, LOVE these cute new troll ones

"ADOBE CS6 flickering/crashing!" Odd, I have it, and I'm fine

"BF3 crashing every 10-15 minutes!" yet I just got out of a 4 hour game

"All my games are flickering! Skyrim! Farcry 3! X-Com!" Skyrim they fixed the lighting flicker with last release, Farcry 3 works fine, X-Com works fine

"BF3 crashed after 10 minutes, and -WIPED OUT MY WHOLE KERNAL AND DESTROYED MY WINDOWS INSTALATION! IT ERASED ALL MY GAMES!" Now -THIS- is a funny new one. Considering AMD drivers don't touch kernal files, what you described sounds like common hard drive failure, but instead blaming AMD drivers. Why even stop there? Say how the computer crashed so bad the power supply blew up, parts flew across the room and destroyed the vials that contained the cure to cancer in your penthouse Tony Stark like lab, raped the cat and is reviving Stalin?

Really getting tired of this. Already 3 people in the last 7 page threads have done the common Nvidia troll "WAH WAH I'M SWITCHING TO GREEN TEAM THEY'RE BETTER!" crap that's common on this ATI drivers section, and I have just this to say

If this is just -REALLY- bored and stupid people looking to stir up angst, you're flat out retarded and yes, you do need your juicy.

If this is some Nvidia PR shills who is paid-per-post to post anti-AMD crap, I've seen drug dealers with better ethics then you.

 

I know at least one other person with that laptop who has the same problem as me. Disabling dual graphics does nothing about the problem. I am glad it works for you though.

 

its beyond amazing..why do ppl think that garbage drivers are ACCEPTABLE?? are you all such sheeple? sigh.
would you accept that from your cars you buy off the lot?
would you accept your food like that?
..then why is software exempt from that?


You drive off the lot in your brand new 2012 X car, and the wheels all start to shimmer and wobble and the windshield cracks in 10 places..
'oh well, theyll fix it eventually.'

 

PSU: Seventeam 450w I'm mad with AMD but this is bs (if your story is true you should not use a generic psu)

 

Since at least beta 9, when I'm doing the driver install, it says the driver version is the same as the previous installation. I guess they're not incrementing the driver version number?

 

Yes I did. Also made few threads about it 7 months ago.

Soon after 7970 release I noticed a lot of threads about 7970 hard locking/freezing the computer. In one thread I got directly bashed by Veterans for making false accusations and "sensational claims".

Happens often with Flash videos and especially game TERA Online that uses Flash (scaleform) for it's UI. I'm sure a lot of people reported those problems for several games. Sad how bad AMD has been recently.

 

This...kudos sir kudos

 

seems like someone tried to be a troll and failed miserably,

there is no 12.11 beta 9 !!!

Edit : downloading now, i hope this fix the artifacting while bitmining,
because the only workaround is to disable aero glass,
and i wanted to be able to enable aero again.
