AMD Catalyst 14.4 WHQL (14.100.0.0 April 17)

No worries. I have already seen on news 'AMD released catalyst 14.6...' And where is the driver?

 

they are up now

 

On my Alienware M17x R2 with dual mobility 5870s in xfire the screen flashes like crazy when shutting down. Doesn't cause a problem that I have seen and games run good. Just not sure if I should be concerned about that and if anyone else is seeing it.

 

14.6 are better really for me

 

It just happened with "enable gpu scalling". I've had to replug my monitor to the dvi port to be able to wake up my monitor.

Now I'll try to disable DDC/CI on my u2311h as suggested in another post.

 

good luck doing that and getting a signal on reboot....

 

Anyone with high latency problem?
Try this to test, play an song in youtube at 1080p, and let it run, then open 8-10 more tabs with anything. On Firefox and chrome.
Sound is freezing, slowdown or not in youtube song ?
For me it freeze.... In dpc latency check when youtube song opened and start others tabs in the same time i see 60000us latency.

Yesterday put an acronis backup, but with ati 13.12 for gpu, and 14.4 for southbridge, latency is 18000 when listen music and loading 8 tabs, but sounds is ok, no sound crack, freeze, slowdown. Need more test on this but I'm sure it's ATI driver fault.
And for dvbviewer users, when start it or close it again, with dpc latency check opened, latency raise or not? I dont mean to raise from 100us to 200us,i mean to raise from 100us to 9000us.
Sistem fx8350 turbo on, high performance now on, apc mode on, 8gb corsair c9 hynix cfr h9a, ati6950@6970 mod, shaders 1512, stock clock gpu or 880mhz, memory 5ghz or 5.2ghz fully stable, gpu stock voltage 1.10v even for 880mhz.
7200 hdd WD fully functional.

 

Almost a week gone, and I haven't had the sleep bug after disabling ddc on my monitor under 14.4whql. But I'll update if it resurfaces.

 

can you still apply color profiles?

 

Well, it doesn't matter anyway even if software color profiles should still work. Disabling DDC/CI didn't solve it, I've just had another sleep bug.
I'll try the DVI-D connector on the card instead of the DVI-I now.

update1: With the second DVI-D connector the same happens, I'll try now to disable PCI Express/Link State Power Management under the balanced profile.

 

Try going into device manager, go into the properties of all your network devices and untick the option to turn off the device to save power. That alone made my system hover between 40-70 on the desktop instead of fluctuating all over the place.

Watching 1080p music video the latency was hovering around 110-120 with spikes down to as low as 40 and up to the highest reported latency of 189. This was with balanced power profile, all cpu power savings enabled, hpet on, windows 8.1. I even have realtime audio post-processing so the dpc would probably be much lower without that.

 

are 14.4 have issue with the FAN RPM detection? my 7790 can't detect fan rpm after updating to 14.4, but revert it to 13.12 make them normal again.

For embedded Cat 14.8 is available.

 

Well that was ironic, watching a video of a Bill Gates interview and the machine crashed lol

 

BSOD with these drivers :O
