Not liking these! I've not tested anything else yet but my Heaven score on my everyday OC has gone from 1358 to 903 and it's stuttering like a *****

I have just updated to these but in the Information > software section it is now saying

Catalyst Version - 12.3

But really it should say 12.2 as these are the late 12.2's and the 12.3's "should" be out later this month.

Driver Packaging Version 8.95-120214a-134393C-ATI
Catalyst Version 12.3
2D Driver Version 8.01.01.1235
Direct3D Version 7.14.10.0894
OpenGL Version 6.14.10.11554

1) Install new drivers
2) Stick benchmark to run while I go make a cup of coffee
3) Check scores to how drivers compare to the previous ones
4) Play games whilst drinking said coffee
5) ?????
6) Profit

Why not tea?

McBain · 7 Mar 2012 at 20:21

Any news on how these perform in BF3 at all?

LtMatt · 7 Mar 2012 at 20:24

Thanks chaps, downloading now. 8.95 drivers are the best performing bf3 (WHQL) ati drivers at the moment.

Mr Krugga · 7 Mar 2012 at 20:49

This is the same as 12.2 Pre-Cert.

Not the best driver around.

Nope, 8.96 drivers are better in BF3.

This is a computer enthusiasts forum..there's no tea drinking to be seen around here :rolleyes:

opethdisciple · 7 Mar 2012 at 21:56

Terrible for me.

Hardly ever do I have issues, but installed 12.2 and latest caps, and skyrim has major corruption.

Square dots every where, rolling back to 12.1.

All fine with 12.1

Mangochutney · 7 Mar 2012 at 22:38

^ Same for me with Skyrim using 12.2.
12.1 gave flickering water/smoke etc.

JimAroo · 8 Mar 2012 at 00:09

With how long it's taken them to release these, you'd at least expect them to work on games such as Skyrim..

Orcvader · 8 Mar 2012 at 01:21

Rolled back. Started getting random BSODs during StarCraft 2 with them. Am fine on 12.1 now...

EDIT: 7950 user here, too lazy to change my sig...

chief barker · 8 Mar 2012 at 04:40

These drivers seem good for 7970 owners.

Maybe you should all upgrade

djxput · 8 Mar 2012 at 08:34

I wonder if these are the same as the preview drivers Ive had installed for a month here ...

if they are - Ive gotten vpu error recoveries quite a bit with them (pretty sure they are driver related (used different gpus).

Ur round next · 8 Mar 2012 at 08:36

Ill check these out when i get back from work

Thanks for the heads up
