Yup - getting a 404 on that page though.

Im currently running the 12.3 drivers. Are these worth the install? Im hearing epic reports. But at the moment with the 12.3, Ive not had one issue in TOR and BF3.

Might give them a go when more reports come in.

I used 12.3 for a few days but these in BF3 seem a bit more polished over 12.3.

Well I have had no problems at all with these drivers in BF3 after two nights playing.
Previous drivers (perhaps not the last ones) threw up the occasional error so I'm staying with these for now.

Been testing since yest and before on BF3 i would get "Battlefield 3 has stopped responding" every now and again, was totally random. But since installing these i aint crashed once.

Still cant open AMD vision centre

Have you guys tried the new 12.3 WHQL and the new 12.3 Cap 1?

Its all coming together for me with these on the 7970's. AT LAST.

 

[Phage]

Not on a CF, so haven't bothered. 12.4 is the next step for me.

Caps are not just for CF mate.

 

[Phage]

Really ? What else do they do - provide a single-GPU profile ?

Yes mate, there have been profiles for single GPU's in many of the releases notes.

 

[Stu @ MSD]

In fact, the latest ones show some single GPU enhancements.

I do sometimes wonder if the "single GPU" statement actually means a twin GPU card. You never known with AMD's crap website explanations, but maybe, just maybe this is half the problems a lot of guys have, not installing ALL the drivers required for the cards to run properly.

Learn something every day !
Well, certainly can't hurt to put them in anyway.

[HarryPainful]

Caps are not just for CF mate.

Thanks!

Certainly does matter. Use the latest available i.e. the one Stu linked to in his post above.

 

[shankly1985]

Can I use 12.3 CAP? with 12.4 only one I can find?

 

[Phage]

Sure - It just won't have the latest optimisations, fixes and profiles.

Thanks is there a CAP for 12.4? or is 12.3 CAP latest.

 

[Phage]

12.3 is the latest per Stu's post above.
