amd Catalyst drivers 12.4 out
- Thread starter gareth170
- Start date
Single card works and is solid.
Gains in Multi-GPU in BF3 for sure but....
a lot of other things I have tried in Multi-GPU mode are very broken. Especially, 3 GPU.
12.5 Betas are worse.
12.2 WHQL and 12.1 RC11 remain the only drivers usable in 3 GPU mode.
according to certain users it's a myth and everything is rosey
I haven't seen anyone claim that in regards to 7xxx Multi with eye Evefinity.
It runs a bit deeper than that bug at the moment. Scaling and stability in a host of games is broken in 3 GPU mode. I am a single screen gamer.
Not a big problem to use old drivers for me, its just Skyrim tbh.

Im not licking the 12.4's
Before with 12.3 I could max the settings on my 5870 in Dues X HR, now with 12.4 I have to take the msaa off otherwise it sutters all over the shop.

Worst drivers *****g EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am fed up. Every person that will ask me now what to buy, 7970 or 680 I'll say
NEVER GET AMD!!!
I run two 7970 in Crossfire in Eyefinity and clocks on the first card never go up when playing something. They just stay at 500 & 150. Battlefield 3 runs at 20 fps somehow.
Tried reinstalling them, used ATIman, nothing, nothing helps. 12.5 beta suck ass too.
AMD worst company ever. Is it possible to give them a call, any one knows their phone number? I am desperate for it. I will be the first customer who is so ****ed off.!!
Hail Nvidia.!
And what's up with that ****ing "CrossFireX Technology" logo in the top right corner while in full screen? Guys WHAT THE ****??????????

That Logo is off by default and can only be turned on and off by using the AMD system tray menu.

If the 12.2 WHQL set do not work properly on your 2 card system, the chances are that its not the drivers.
I have only had issues with 2 cards in these (12.4) and the 12.5 beta set.
As a test, without changing drivers, you might want to download the latest TRIXX and manually set your clocks (tick the disable ULPS button on the options too). It is possible that with the 12.4 driver, the clocks are not being set properly and disabling the ULPS will help.

Also, I have had some bad experiences with Atiman, I use this:

When I had a single 7970 tbh it was ok didn't see any problems.
Moved to crossfire and it's been nothing but problems.
only way to get reasonable service from the cards is use cat 12.2.
With these drivers if I let my monitor go to sleep and then wake it up again the display comes on fine but games then run like ****. They show as running at full speed in game but it's more like it's stuck in low power mode. I'm guessing it's a problem with ULPS.
I have - had the same problem, I fix it by having overclocked profiles in msi afterburner and bind them to my G-Keys on my keyboard and change between them forces the game to run properly.
The problem you are getting is low GPU usage after sleep.
yep same with 12.3 driver.
