AMD Catalyst 10.12 drivers released - the BIG one!

So many releases. New Control Panel with the latest 10.11 drivers 2 days ago, 10.12 with the old CCC a day ago and 10.12 preview CCC2 right after.

On the good side of things, looks like AMD decided to put their settings to HQ wherever it wasn't before. At least that's what appears from the Control Panel.

interesting all the benefits on the 5870 :) !! makes that card look more and more tempting as its EOL

my 10.12s won't even install on my 4890 currently - just get stuck on "detecting graphics card" ! :(

If you have used a driver cleaner or a driver cleaner in the past it can stop specific drivers from installing.
 
right, switched back to 10.10e.

10.12 borked my fps on MW1 :rolleyes:

Amazingly enough black ops is smoother though :( go figure
 
Yeah over the official limits. Before always bsod'ed or completely froze with anything above the official limits, could only ever get flash video's to run with hardware acceleration turned off. Was a complete pain at start as I kept getting it on webpages with small flash video's and didn't figure why until I went on youtube a week later and figured, but not now.I have a MSI Twin Frozr 5850. :)
 
Ok, opened Afterburner, turned off 2d/3d profiles, set 830/1200 clocks, clicked on the first video at the top on YouTube page, instant BSOD and restart.

Happy times! :D
 
The most hyped and probably worst driver release i've encountered since the second lot of drivers for that old Power VR addon card years ago. Well, atleast these don't cause the card to smoulder.

Over zealous manager using a fire extinguisher in a tech workshop ***!
 
AMD/ATI make great video cards, just a shame they employ a bunch of useless morons to do the drivers, I would have considered a new card but they have let me down every release since 10.4b for good drivers for games, I mean its great they improve unigene benchmark results each driver release,,,, NOT

Didn't you know? Nobody plays games anymore, they just run benchmarks.

For every driver they release they fix a bunch of issues for current games, then anything older than 12 months ends up in the can.

It's quite incredible you have to install various drivers to play different games to this extent.
 
Actually above is not true, after a restart of pc after the flash settings had been changed (had already restarted a few times after installation of driver) same problems. Driver restarts and I lose the flash picture!
 
i would give up gameing after all the bad news i hear about it, i was looking forward to this then crysis 2, but that turns out its gonna be nvidea coded right down to the core and now i cant sell my cards for more than pennys. think ill get a lappy and hoy ma machine out the window :D
