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

if anyone wants a more silent fix for the idle bug, here is what I did.

Set your default/OC profile in MSI afterburner.
Set another profile with the sliders as low as they go for memory/core
Go to settings > profiles and set the underclocked for 2d and overclocked for 3d

At least now my gpu idles at 300/700 even though my clocks are set for 500/700. It keeps it a good 15c cooler since it was idling 500/1800 (1200/1800 OC).

 

What is "crap" exactly?

 

To him, crap is a driver that does not work on a graphics card 3 generations old.

 

Hmm as far as i know 5800 series is not legacy. been updating my drivers regularly ever since i had my card and never had any major problems. works with this set just fine too. i believe you have one of those early early card samples.

 

Personally I consider this issue a major problem in 12.11:
7970 spiking into 3d clock on firefox browser

Reproducible with every AMD card, starting from HD5000 series.
Nvidia released a fix, not AMD.

 

you sir a freaking legend this is working for me
this is the first driver i can make work in my crossfire setup with the idle and max gpu on the second card in months been running 12.4 for months because of this amd crap drivers...
with the idle or max gpu sticking ..:bang:

 

try 12.7rc1 stable on my 5850 with oc...

 

Well, it's actually only two generations old. You wouldn't count the 7xxx series "one generation old".

 

Is there any benefit for non 7000 series cards? What was the last driver worth installing for 6000 series cards?

 

DISCOVERY! Everyone with idle clock issue plug your monitor up to HDMI! Even if you convert DVI > HDMI it fixes the idle problem 100%.

 

no issue's here bro :flip2: i've never encountered that issue

 

Does anyone else have strange artifacts in 2d. It happens when i change OC profile in afterburner. But only in windows not when im playing games for example.

Now im on 12.8 and problem is solved but i would like to know is someone has solution for problem?

 

A custom afterburner profile couldn't be a valid test.

BTW, I sent you a PM with some questions.
Would you please answer them?
Thx.

 

this driver for me on my 6770M, the brigthness bugged. when i turn on the computer he put's a very low brigthness, and to resolve i have to plug in the ac/dc conector and then press the brigthness key

 

Screen brightness control doesnot work. However I can use screen brightness when I switch into intelHD GPU.

 

I absolutely dont have the clock bug ... could be linked to non refence cards

12.11 beta4 + last CAP : 2x 7970 reference flashed to GHZ bios.



So far, not see any problem with it..

Well as 500mhz on core are what you get with a second monitor / TV wired.. I ask me if it is not linked .

 

Font corruption in XBMC after installing these drivers.

Cannot read anything anymore.

Dilemma: uninstall to be able to read things or keep the top performing drivers?

 

Same thing with Plex. lol


I've decided to keep the drivers because they're performing so well for me in everything else, and sense I remember where the placement of the menus are from memory.

 

My card is reference *sad face*

500/1375 2D clocks now, before 300/150

 

Ok, so im lost here, look like it touch some peoples and not other.
