Catalyst 9.12 leaked (Vista/Win7 64)

[asoxedri]

You never need to do any of that. Just install new drivers right over the old.

I always just do this. Has always worked for me.

 

[maddness]

I downloaded these, installed and put it this way I had to do a total system recovery

took 5 mins thanks to the image I saved last week

ppfffft waiting till tomorrow for the official release

I just installed them and it failed to update, restarting didn't help, uninstalling and reinstalling, back to the 9.11s also didn't help, driversweeper didn't, manually didn't, total restore sorted these suckers lol

thank god for acronis true image free edition, wasn't looking forward to manual reinstall of the os

Aye absoloutely no need to use 'Driver Sweeper' for GPU drivers in this day and age imo

Is anyone elses download stopping at 38mb on the Mediafire link?

Anyone got another link/mirror up?

EDIT : Nevermind, seems ok when downloading with a download manager

I got very fast speeds from that one.

 

[fornowagain]

The rapidshare ones work well for me. Win7 x64 5870 crossfire nice and smooth, Dirt 2 is great in Ultra mode. The ones from the mediafile host I found had some corruption errors.

Vantage.

Sounds fun Madness, glad I didn't download these :\

 

[nbkpsycho]

These new drivers are great, My fps are a lot better now in dirt 2 & nfs. My vantage score is also around the 20k mark with just 1 5870

well im gonna hopefully break 20k vantage tomorrow, must remember 1000/1300 not 1000/1445

Here is another mirror http://rapidshare.com/files/321714419/Catalyst_9.12_Windows_7_Vista_Dec14.zip

Working well for me so far. Seems to of sorted the crash with vertical lines thing in Dirt2 as well, although I reinstalled the game to sort out an audio issue as well so I guess that could have fixed it too.

FPS improved in dirt2 as well. Getting tearing now in Ultra so bring on the v-sync.

 

[khulershaker]

get in!!!!!!!!!
"Seems to of sorted the crash with vertical lines thing"

Although I never got them in games

 

[wolvers]

I'm just watching some footy then I'm gonna play some more dirt2 to double check that all is OK. It could have been the game re-install though as that's sorted a load of sound problems that I had with that game.

Somebody try a dx11 benchmark! STALKER COP bench doesnt show dx11 for me :/

 

[QwaF]

What GFX card?

Two 5850's, removed one of them for install - that didn't work either.

 

[Valleyman]

No difference in Dirt 2 between the 9.11 hotfix and the 9.12. Running a single 5870 @ 900/1300.

I hate that benchmark anyway as it's never exactly the same due to the AI...

9.11
Run 1: 55.09 Average
Run 2: 58.6 Average

9.12
Run 1: 57.1 Average
Run 2: 57.0 Average

I'm not sure if it was my mind playing tricks, but I did feel like there was more dust and particles etc when running 9.12. As I said though, could be my mind playing tricks.

 

[Tom|Nbk]

No difference in Dirt here either really

 

[LoadsaMoney]

No difference in Dirt here either really

Try Dirt 2

 

[Tom|Nbk]

Try Dirt 2

Yes yes

 

[LoadsaMoney]

Yes yes

 

[RedvGreen]

I can confirm that 9.11 is at least still giving BSODs. Was using stock drivers (off CD) and tried updating, and *wham* BSOD.

*Win7x64, HD570Xfire*

just installed the 9.12s on my 4870x2, haven't run any benchmarks yet though but have noticed these drivers include direct compute 4.1 and activate it i found this by looking at gpu z on 9.11 the box wasnt ticked but now with 9.12s it is.
