AMD Catalyst 11.8 WHQL

bfbc2 is the buggiest game ever release so dont blame ati or nvidia

on teamspeak everynight its disconnected " oh who crashed then " :rolleyes:

it wont ever be fixed now bf3 is near. just except its buggy move on.

still on 11.7 stay with these i think.
 
Why is my CCC still telling me "Current Version 11.7. Last update 31st July 2011. The current version is up to date". I only found out about 11.8 by going to the drivers website.

Sounds like you've had some real bad luck mate. I don't use TS so couldn't comment on that, but i don't remember ever having any issues with BC2. I definitely DID with BF2....my god that was patch city central that was.

To those interested, after changing my rig from X58 i7 930, 6gb ram (with 11.8's) to the one in my sig now and completely reformatting, I'm using 11.8's and STILL not having any issues.
Just lucky i guess ('bout bloody time!) :)
 
I've got 2x 6950 coming today, I'll be upgrading from a 5850. already have 11.8 downloaded(full, driver, ccc etc) recently upgraded to 11.8 from 11.2
do I need to re-download it for 6950 or does the drivers bit contain the drivers for all the different models?
 
I think you need special profiles for dual card setups.
I've got a 5850, would be interested to know how you get on, as i want to upgrade, but can't afford 2 x 6950's.
 
I’ve removed these now (30.08.2011), not sure if its because I’m using a 20P:30L:20P 3 monitor configuration but there were far to many issues to be bothered with. Just a sample of what was happening with them;

a. Sketchup bugsplats on exit with opencl errors
b. Constant screen flicker when playing any movie media
c. Display port going into standby for 5 or 6 seconds before coming back up again (introduced in 11.7 iirc, not an issue in 11.6)
d. Driver crashes when using hatches in Autocad

I dropped back to 11.6 and so far 48 hours without an issue, prior to that I was lucky to go 48 minutes.

Have you tried dropping back to 11.6, so so so much better.

I'm using same screen configu as you & no issues with media, crashing..ect.
The only time i get flickering if over clocking the gfx cards while using extended desktop.
 
Under 11.8 for me flash vids will cause one of the adjacent panels to flash white (maybe only for 1mhz) but its very noticable and annoying. I could live with it tbh if that was the only issue but they are making working a nightmare.

I use sketchup / Autocad for 10+ hours a day so I cant deal with the problems described above. Like I say the issues weren't there under 11.6 and have manifested since installing 11.8. They have gone since going back to 11.6.

Card is at stock, case is cool, CPU is under water etc etc.
 
Anyone tried version 11.8 yet have thy fixed all video playback problems as I use a ati for a htpc I am on 11.6 and was wondering if these are better

Thanks

well considering this entire thread is about 11.8 and is either full of people saying they are dire and removed them (me) and others who have had no issue with them. I would think that yes we have tried them. It might be a good idea if you read the thread ?


On a side note, I am now nearly 72 hours issue free, so I'm confident it was driver related.
 
Well I've not had one single problem since going back to 11.6 which to me at least suggests 11.8 were bad.

Sweet logic bro ;) Know what you mean though, I had an absolute nightmare with games randomly crashing with the 11.8's trifire.
 
Well its based on 11.1, 11.2, 11.3, 11.4, 11.5, 11.6 all being hassle free and 11.8 being a complete mare. Going back to 11.6 all issues gone. What other deductions could be formed ?
