Cheers OP.

This fixes the cf eyefinity x79 issue by the look of it?

Much needed performance gains in fc3 too

These will go down nicely when I install GB GHz tonight.

Just installing Far Cry 3 now

Will this driver sort the 6990 issue with AC3? Second gpu is always idle when playing this game

Devrij · 4 Dec 2012 at 07:15

Hope this sorts my issue with FC3 where I occasionally see people turn into stars/geometric shapes

d_brennen · 4 Dec 2012 at 07:22

ANOTHER 12.11... Oh well more performance for FC3 is always nice

kissenger · 4 Dec 2012 at 07:23

Thanks OP. I'll install these tonight.

I'm fairly new to AMD, do I need to install these 'CAPs' too. I assumed they were for Xfire or something and that you only need the driver for single card set-ups.

You should install them for single and CrossFire setups.

The latest CAPs for example "Improves Far Cry 3 performance for single GPU configurations with AA".

I pity the fool that doesn't use caps on a single gpu setup.

*Resolves a sporadic system hang encountered with a single AMD Radeon HD 7000 Series GPU seen on X58 and X79 chipsets.* This is an important fix. Well done AMD.

Downloading now thanks.

Doesn't sound like the Eyefinity/CF fix though

Have they skipped Beta 9 and 10? Because i checked over the weekend for a new Beta and it still had Beta 8 listed.

Agreed, I have been pulling my hair out over this when I only use one car for games.

I wonder if they have fixed not being able to create gaming profiles in the CCC?

I went back to Beta 7 because of that, and i'm going to remain on them if they haven't fixed it.

Rolled back to test out CrossFire on the 12.8's in BF3 last night as it looked better than the 12.11's only to find out CrossFire was gubbed after the new patch, hope it's fixed!

Oh and thanks op.

Not noticing much difference with these drivers and caps in fc3, if anything it's running a little worse.

shankly1985 · 4 Dec 2012 at 09:42

Am going to try them tonight. Did you remove old set and also install the cap2?

Yeah mate, but made another daft mistake. I forgot the new driver would reset my overclocks

Also need to turn off the enhanced clock on asus gpu tweak then back on again for it to go past 1050mhz again and now it's golden

Performance seems to be up a bit for FC3, getting minimums of around 36-38 now instead of 32 on ultra preset, 1920x1080 & x2 MSAA - on a 7850.

shankly1985 · 4 Dec 2012 at 09:57

That's good to know :-)

I played with a mix very high, ultra if I can keep solid 60 ill be very happy lol
Online stutter tho I don't think will be fixed unless a patch comes out, I have friends with nvidia cards also getting stutter online.
