AMD Catalyst 13.10 BETA (13.200.11.0 September 4)

I can't seem to change any setting in 3D applications settings, if I try to change catalyst just closes on me.. anyone else or just me ?

edit: nvm looks like I have to delete and create another setting for each application again since old ones can't be changed without ccc closing

 

Go update the program yourself. Nothing at all stopping you. Then you can have all the downsampling you want.

Or keep on thinking AMD is out to destroy Downsampling. Whatever makes you sleep at night... Just note that people have other more sensible opinions

 

*13.10 BETA working well with the 6870's in crossfire

so far, no problems with IE11 Preview or Adobe Flash Player(11.8.800.174)
I disabled frame pacing in the profile for DS1 and DSLOA - they both run well

*via 64-Bit system..

 

To be sure

I have a method for updating drivers and it works every time:

1. Take an image of your system using Windows7 system image option after you have rebuilt your system (do not load any drivers for GPU).

2. Keep the image up to date

3. every time a new driver comes out, backup recent files to usb stick or separate backup drive.

4. reload system with image you took in step 1

5. load new drivers

6. update system with latest windows updates

I always do this and I guess taking the image in the first place is most important - but it's worth it.

Don't bother with these driver removal tools as they go too far and end up removing key entries from the registry and that's why you guys keep having problems.

This post is not meant to challenge anyone, its just what I do and I don't have any issues.

Peace out brothers and sisters.

LOL

 

While your method may be valid in some sense it requires a lot of work. I recommend using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) as it's a very capable cleaner as DDU can safely clean /remove files and registries that are left behind. Thus allowing users to experience less problems in which does not result in registry related bugs that break the OS functionality due to the installed driver not working correctly.

Give it a try.

 

I use to go by this, until I started using a Switchable Graphics laptop. Can't say the experience is the same with every driver, but I know I fixed a pretty weird issue just by clearing the previous drivers with a few tools (CIM + DDU + CCleaner + CCEnhancer) + manual removal.

 

So, do they? Or should I still stick with 13.4?

 

The 13.8B2 drivers should work OK. They are the ones I am using now (with 2x5870s in Crossfire, no problems, crashes or graphically glitches). The 13.10B1 drivers seemed to have turned off the crossfire profile for some reason (and forcing it on causes flashing textures), but they seemed OK on a single card.

 

Try it, then report back.

I haven't had any mouse cursor stuttering with 13.9, but my experience could easily vary against someone with totally different hardware

 

Blegh, I was hoping you'd do that

Tested them, mouse issue still occurs. Especially noticable during light HDD access.

I'll have to downgrade again.

 

Ok, I am not that serious about it.

I don't think "AMD is out to destroy Downsampling", just that "AMD does not give a $hit about Downsampling", whereas with Nvidia it takes you 15 secs in the standard control panel drivers...

I see several reasons why AMD are NOT interested in giving Downsampling as an official feature... and none of them have anything to do with the quality of the result or any technical difficulties on the development...

 

come on people...honestly....

AMD changed their interfaces to keep up with the times, the coder of your program chose not to

Not really AMDs problem, nor should it be....

talk to the coders that made your program.

do you really expect windows 3.1/95/98/xp solutions to work on a 7/8 platform?

 

Im having stutter lag and sound crackling in Call Of Duty Black Ops II with this 13.10 beta driver. 13.9 WHQL works fine. The game is almost unplayable with this beta driver.

 

if you have a single 5850 (?), why do you need the 13.10 ?

 

Yes I have a single 5850. I need 13.10 because it overclocks like no tomorrow. I can hit max clocks overdrive with stock cooling. No other driver does that for my card which is volt locked.

 

Kisse, that might be the cause of your issues then??

 

No. Stutter and sound crackling occurs at default clocks also. I tried everything to fix this issue but I couldnt do anything about it.

13.10 beta is a no go for Black Ops 2. Ive never seen any driver this bad with a big main title fps game like CoD.

 

Check your BIOS and be sure the PCIe bus is set manually to 100.

 

Can u tell me with 7790 with what catalyst i can play heroes of newearth?????
i have shuttering problems with all of them.

 

Can you be more specific as to which Catalyst you used when facing this stuttering issue? Its just that your asking what catalyst is needed to run heroes of newearth but you also stated you tried "all of them".

The latest stable Catalyst Suite from AMD is currently 13.9, have you tried that? And keep in mind that you should always clean out your current driver before using other drivers to avoid running into issues. Here is a link to the program that can does this for you:
