    To clarify, far as the Skyrim goes, I've never had any issues with any drivers before this one, the 14.4's and up before now have just been the mouse issue (which I could deal with if I absolutely had to, but its still an irritant and without any noticeable improvements elsewhere never had any need to leave the 13.12's). Its only the 14.12's that are giving me the Skyrim problems. And its definitely not hardware. I just finished playing for about half an hour or so back on the 13.12's with absolutely no issues whatsoever. No artifacts, no flickering. Seems someone else posted about a very similar problem with the Omega's on the Steam boards, so at least I know I'm not alone. Hope it gets sorted but the deck's stacked against me on an older card regarding an older game.

    That's really weird. Must be specific hardware or combinations. I played since installing the driver and it looked perfectly fine.

    depends on what port you are using

    for HDMI, each reso has its own settings, so you hae to change your desktop and go fix them.

    Good drivers so far. X-wing Alliance, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Max Payne, and Jedi Outcast all run like a dream :rock:.

    I'm using three monitors currently (in standard multi-monitor mode; not Eyefinity). Tried waking monitors from sleep; only one monitor turned on (one hooked up via DVI); others (DVI-to-HDMI and DVI-to-MiniDP) stayed off. The one that turned on only showed a black screen and a flickering cursor for a short period of time before the system hard-locked.

    Why is it so hard to have monitors sleep and wake up properly?

    Edit: Had it happen twice in a row, only the second time, 2 monitors came back, and not the third (DVI-to-MiniDP); had the same flickering (seems like the monitors kept connecting and disconnecting), and eventually BSoD due to TDR.

    Its a Good driver -> Optimisation for x6 or x8 cores are great in games which dont use multi-core properly

    I wasn't at my native 1920x1080, was in the usual 640x480 (or whatever it sets when it pops the Standard VGA Adapter back on), so i just clicked the Yes to change the res, and it just went to native :p

    Excellent!!!

    Been waiting for either Nvidia or AMD to implement this in their drivers. Will save having to rely on RTSS, or Dxtory to cap FPS in games that don't have this feature built in!

    Also

    Why is everyone talking about the 14.12 Omega drivers still?

    When the HDMI hotfix drivers are newer! Dated Dec 10th compared to Novemeber 20th. The driver it self is newer, I loaded up the installer without uninstalling Omega drivers and in the list it said "Update graphics driver to XXXXX".

    They are newer, and FINALLY and I a mean FINALLY!! No need to load up CCC after clean driver install to set overscan values anymore! It just loads up in fullscreen now! This bug has existed for me since I had my 4870x2!!!!!

    EDIT:

    HMDI driver dec 10th!

    Driver package: 14.501.1003.1001

    14.12 Omega November 20th

    Driver package: 14.501.1003.0000


    HDMI driver package is newer, and gives better stability for me than Nov 20th Omega drivers. Everything else is the same.

    Normally when I clean uninstall drivers with DDU in safe mode, and reinstall new drivers in normal mode. Upon reboot my screen has a large border around the WHOLE image of the screen. Meaning I have to go and manaully set overscan settings to 0% in CCC.

    HDMI Dec 10th drivers completely fixed this for me! Uninstalled in safe mode with latest DDU reinstalled Dec 10th drivers in normal mode and upon reboot my screen is now FULL SCREEN no borders!

    Only took them like nearly five years to fix this issue!

    anyone know why i get a blurry screen ingame when i downsample, like some crappy FXAA gets enabled? The resolution on itself works fine, but my whole screen becomes blurry ingame. My native res is 1920X1080 and all my settings are still on default. GPU is R9-290 tri-X

    I'm using 60hz and vsr in dragon age: inquisition, the pace of the game and the crappy in game AA make it worth it. Playing cod and bf though I switch back to 120hz and 1440p.

    Catalyst > Gaming > 3D Application Settings

    There's System Settings (which are system-wide settings). You can add executables with the "+ Add ..." button below Application Settings.

    Adding a executable gives it it's own set of settings on the right-side. You can set something for that executable, and then see that it isn't set on the System Settings, or any other executable.

    Hmm, i'm downloading the HDMI hotfix driver now (can find it here for anyone interested); hopefully I get better results with it than the Nov 20th driver (in regards to the sleep issue anyway).
