AMD Catalyst 12.1 (8.930.0 December 5) AMD Official WHQL

Hi all... im still running win Xp sp3 I tried Win vista/7 but with old video card 3650 hd radeon agp8x... now im running a powercolor hd radeon 4670 agp8x but I cant fix the system, after installing drivers_12-1_agp-hotfix_xp32_dd_ccc, I reboot my OS and it get into a cycle of restarts... when reaching the real entrance do win desktop it reboots forever, so what Im doing is running safe mode and try to fix the issue.btw my card never ever have been detected like 4670 on windows. have fun. cheers

 

11.12 Cap 3 needed for this driver on a single card?

 

thanks god my vga card is nvidia :banana:

 

Since I updated to 12.1 WHQL drivers my 6950 makes a very annoying squeezing sound, like coil whine. I never had this problem with the 11.11 WHQL drivers which I used since I got this card (2,5 months ago).

Can someone enlighten me if the 12.2 preview has the same issue?

 

I don't have any issues like always...


and you know what, I'm going to post this every time a WHQL is released.

 

This driver made my card run mutch cooler
it went from 80dgr to 75 dgr on load in BF3
The game feels mutch smoother too


PS.. Thanks for all the help your guys give in this forum

 

This driver causes my system to hang on shutdown.
Went back to old driver.

Yes i did all the usually time consuming troubleshooting. Even had to do a restore with Acronis to get my machine working again correctly.

Will wait to see what the March driver WHQL brings.

Aside from the problems I had, BF3 raw good with these drivers. The only problem was hanging on shutdown or restarts.

 

Just wanted to say this driver works just fine with my setup.
Updated from 11.12 whql, which ran also ok, to this new whql'd 12.1.

 

1) if they both say that, then yes its underclocking
2) install msi afterburner, and 3dmark11
3) test both drivers at the same clocks and compare benches
4) if the new driver has significantly lower performance, then wait for amd to fix the 6700 problem

as long as performance is fine, dont worry about the underclocking, because you can always overclock to make up for it

 

Thanks asder00

 

Idk what they did to these drivers,but all i get here is hdmi drivers when i try to install the Win7 32bit package.

 

do those drivers support the ATI card model 5650 1GB mobility version? that is installed on a notebook pc HP DV6 3150 el. it have 2 graphic cards, the ati and the intel. I can switch between them.
can I install those friver into my pc? thanks a lot for your help.

p.s. the 11.10 version worked fine on this pc, now I wish to upgrade to the 12.1.
