amd Catalyst drivers 12.4 out

so far..

Heaven Bench mark is up,

3dmark 11 is down (by allot) low gpu usage, fine in 12.2

Battlefield is up, much better.

Sleep mode seems sorted so far.

mostly a step in the right direction.
 
Must be a trifire issue, my 2GPU score is up, but 3GPU score is way down.

it's to do with test one, which has very low GPU usage, 50 to 60%

the rest of the tests are much faster.

Ive seen the same problem with the lastest beta too.
 
What a suprise, 6900 series trifire eyefinity in bf3 still having turd like scaling, around 55-60% per gpu. Back to 11.12 again it seems. :rolleyes:

Crysis 2 is around 40% per gpu, still scales like ass over a year later.

*sigh*

I have a question, i had the old CCC but it lagged a lot on startup so i uninstalled it and just kept just the drivers. If i want to install the 12.4 what do i do? Simply download it and just install or have to uninstall all the old CCC drivers etc

As Locky said higher up in this post that the start up does not lag anymore has anyone else noticed this?

You should be fine just installing over the top of the old drivers but if that goes wrong I use a little programme called atiman unistaller that removes all the old drivers and reg keys etc and allows you to do a fresh install with the new ones.

These drivers don't have the CCC.exe lag like older versions and load up straight away on windows startup. I am finding these the best drivers so far for my me :)

Ok thanks :)
 
I also noticed on bootup this is starting

amd accelerated video transcoding device initialization

What is it and is it safe to disable?
 
A few sites ([H] being one) have started collecting data on AMD & nvidia drivers for fixes & time taken for driver/bug releases/fixes, cant wait till end of year to see who wins
 
Hi fellow Dave :D

Only difference between these and the 8.97, is the driver is 8.961, there is no delay in the CCC process like previous drivers. Played a few rounds of BF3 and it's as smooth as the 8.97's. Will stick with these for now, they're keepers :cool:
