AMD Catalyst 12.x (8.95 January 24) Unofficial BETA

Just tested with my 6970m x2 Notebook
This driver is like 8.95 Jan 17 perfect for BF3, its even an improvement. I don't need to set the RenderAheadLimit to 1 anymore!

As for Skyrim, the performance is top with both Crossfire dis- and enabled, but under Crossfire the yellow flickering at the menu is still present.

 

I got lower results with these drivers then 8.95 January 17

 

Driver is excellent. Snappy bf3 and skyrim. Thx m!

 

I thought the Jan 17 drivers were awesome, can't wait to get home from work and try these out.

 

Although in my 3DMark11/Vantage tests this "new" 8.95 drivers scored less than the ones from January 17th, the true is that I really liked the gaming experience they provide. If the previous were great in BF3, the latest are slightly better because frame rate drops are now, less than 5FPS even in the most problematic sequences.
In Crysis 2, the drivers are just awsome!
In Metro 2033, Dirt3 and NFS: The Run this drivers are pretty much the same as previous: great!
I know three hours of benching and gaming aren't enough for evaluate a driver and I'll continue the testings during weekend, but, the tests I did already gave me an idea about what this drivers bring to the table.
Bottom line: My system and my 5000 series card really loved this driver. I wish AMD keeps developing this 8.95 batch instead of 8.94...

Still the same shi*t for me, AMD XGP in the CCC and i can't change any settings :-/
12.2 WHQL will have the same ****?

 

just crashed hard and gave me BSOD in BF3 single player =[

 

I skipped the last beta so this is a repeat of the solution from that thread.

If your Sapphire Trixx cannot grab the clock values, download and install the Atipdlxx.dll from ATT's site:

Stole from TheOriginalTO's heads up post from the previous beta thread:

Thanks to him/her.

Of course, I haven't benched them yet to see if the clock values take, but that is for later

Off to bench.

Edit: They took. Tested a quick run of 3dMark11 with a 880/1325 OC on the 6950 UC to 6970 shaders. So far so good.

 

nothing markant or visible from previous set in bf3

 

Drivers seem to work fine... BUT there's something weird with the CCC. When the PC starts, it will have a copy of CCC running, when I try to open it, it will close and reload again.

BIGGEST ISSUE I have right now... is that Radeon Pro isn't working... anything I can do to remedy this?

 

I tried rolling back my CCC to the 12.1a and now I have the same issue above. Anyway to get around it?

 

Had same exact problem. Rolled back. No help.

Uninstalled driver -> boot to fail-safe -> driver cleaner -> new install of this driver -> ccc works now.

This should btw be a standard prosedure if having problems with beta drivers. Don's use beta drivers if don't want this hazzle.

 

Glad I could help, I am a guy and T.O. are actually my initials, its not too random haha.

Thanks to Marthand for these drivers, they work better than the last ones. Also a big thanks to all others that have helped me / others on this forum. Just glad I could be the help this time.

 

Previous January 17th drivers were giving me x124 BSoD errors, soon as I removed them, system went back to 100% stability

If you are getting BSoD's, I am avoiding these like crazy

 

cannot overclock with msi afterburner.

 

So any possible fix to get RadeonPro working on these drivers? :scream:

 

Now I use these driver with ccc of 8.940 jan 20
because ccc in these driver not stable that usually crash and re run,
but these driver are smooth for many game.

 

yu got problems because yu are using driver cleaners....easy as that...
uninstall with installer...
MSI AB OC works on my 5850 problems...

 

Running pretty smooth here, no probs at all!
