AMD Catalyst 12.x (9.00 June 12) Unofficial BETA

Wow. Installing this (over the top of the most recent 8.92s) gave me the MOTHER of all "your display may flicker" occurrences I'd ever seen. Few times it looked like it had crashed, saw messed-up desktops... pretty sure I even saw into The Matrix at one stage (Neo says "hi"). But, installed fine.

 

Simply wanted to tell that this driver is very good for World of Tanks.
But BSOD each time I launch Arcsoft Totalmedia Theatre (DVD player), not with Mediaplayerclassic (MPC) or Win Mediaplayer.
Testing still in progress.

I've been a lurker for too much time. Wanted to support feedback/community.
Thanks for everything in this AMD section of the board! GJ!

 

Wow I thought I was the only person getting this issue. Even madvr messes up the quality for me I have to use vmr9 renderless. What settings do I have to change to get the default real results with evr ?

 

what happened to drivers just being an "Application" File? I don't know what this 7z stuff is. Sorry if this is noob question.

 

these are leaks, they are not official releases.

They are made for developers, so they are not packaged for consumer use. The original package was probobly even less usable. Someone was kind enough to 7zip them up for easier use.

7z = 7zip. its a native archive format for the free (and exelent) 7zip program.

Testing this version (9.000) with my 5970 and very unstable for me.

- Firefox 13.1 crashing if launch flash/divx vidéo
- Skyrim fps gain +12 for me but more color awfull and it's unplayable because screen crashing/flashing (identical too big GPU overclocking memory)
- All others games have same problems (max payne 3, sup commander, COheroes, etc...)

Return to 12.6 (8.98) = all is ok...

 

Anyone got a mirror to this driver?

I can't work out why I can't access G3D downloads page, this is a brand new HDD with a clean install of 7 and its still 404 for me

Nice one thanks

 

????

U kiddin' right?

 

First of all, you respond on a 3 week old post which has been discussed already and secondly, he has stopped releasing them now as far as we can tell.

Which in my opinion is a sad thing, but it could not be helped. People just wanted mirrors and that is a fair thing. And since he posted on Guru3D forum, Guru3D has the right to mirror it imo

Hopefully we still get a steady stream of leaked releases, as I'm always wanting to test them

 

I've been sticking to the feb 14 8.96 with the ccaps for a while now. any 6970 crossfire users finding better drivers? Im playing battlefield 3 and tribes ascend.

 

@smoney nope nothing with better compatability, i'm running the same feb 14 drivers as you, i play those plus bc2 which works fine with all 3.

 

I scanned roughly through this topic and noticed that no one noticed that this driver supports
Muxless OpenGL AMD Discrete GPU Hardware Acceleration
I have just run FurMark (OpenGL) app on these and the AMD gpu was detected and running perfectly fine, benchmark score @720p
http://www.ozone3d.net/benchmarks/furmark_192_score.php?id=70568

(Ignore the driver version it's being read from Intel GPU, but looking at the score, it's running off of AMD gpu!!!)

I mean... people have been waiting for this for... a year?

 

Thanks for sharing this, some may have known but many didn't I'm sure. Took long enough eh?

 

It's working on HD4650 ?? Or i can only install the latest official 12.4 ?

 

holy crap? that means I don't have to mess with fixed mode graphics anymore ! :banana:


aw crap. stupid driver won't install properly on my setup. I get black screen, then this black to white fading effect. Blue screen during install.

I hope the official beta doesn't fail to install like this. This is a huge error

 

Still crashes while Livestreaming with a HD7700 Card T__T god damned

 

Mobility Driver for AMD 6770M

Hi is there any link for the mobile driver?

I need a mobile driver for my AMD 6770M or can i use this driver ?

 

I got these to work as well as the previous releases, however I had to unplug my HDMI cable first from the laptop and boot to the LCD first, then plug in the external monitor. Otherwise it just goes to a black screen after the windows loading screen appears.
