Catalyst 9.12's due for release Wednesday 16th..

Damn I can't wait for tomorrow now. :sleep2:

 

16dec here now bring me the goodies

 

Same... Bring the drivers already xD

 

Wake up canada!!!

 

16th in Wales for twenty minutes....Drivers,? lol only joking, il get em after i get my kids back from school tommorow lol

 

Early Christmas present?

Probably a fairly lame one.

Lets see if it improves the critical:

Shift ( my god it needs it)

Dirt 2, after the hotfix maybe some more refinement

Any help to The saboteur would also be nice

I expect failage however

 

looking at the architecture I dont think there is much to unlock performance wise, unless they've been holding back on driver optimization untill fermi arrives, that would be interesting.

 

Meh please dont speculate.

It took ages for catalyst drivers to mature for 4xxx series!

 

I been running them for couple of days now, they do fix couple of things but don't expect nothing staggering.

The Shift still runs like **** on 5970 unless i rename to grid.exe instant double fps.
Borderlands fixed, missing textures. Dirt 2 Runs better then hotfix...
Overall good drivers but don't expect miracles.

They broke monitor going in to standby it keeps it on.
Unless they fixed all this in last couple of days we will see..

Driver i'm running is: 8.70-091210a-092787E-ATI
Cat Version: 2009.1210.1956.35755

 

well break um out man lol

 

yeah cmon with the full release, arrggh why do ATI always have sucky drivers with delayed game fixes for even reasonable FPS's. Still the issue of the underclocked 2D mode and running multiple screens has been there for nearly 4 months now.

 

No wonder they are hiring many GPU driver developers (most of them killed them selves).

 

Sorry can't you will have to wait couple of hours more

 

its like waiting for christmas lol

 

Havent had any issues with Shift myself on the beta 5 drivers.

 

Tested 5 games with these 9.12
Shift is the same but runs great for me.
Dirt 2 20% increase Fps
Crysis -5% -(3.5 FPS LOL)why lose FPS,Head shakes.AA 8x worst then Beta drivers
Batman same runs great
Call of duty 6 same but runs great

Uninstalling going back to Beta until AMD release.

 

Wow.. You are hitting 70fps with those 3 9800 GTX+? With 8xAA or you were just reffering to the AA performance?
May I ask at which Res. you are playing? And settings?

 

Not using 9800GTX+ should change that.
5970 card 285 physx well it was only 66 FPS LOL.Still waiting for more ATI cards to show up at door,driving me nuts it is J/K
1920x1200 VeryHigh 8x.
I like to use higher then VeryHigh but this card can not use AA without MIN FPS going to0 low,AVG is fine.

 

Oh ok. Now it makes sense..

 

Are you sure this is Catalyst 9.12 released today and not some 10.1 Beta version?
