AMD Catalyst 12.7 BETA (8.981.2 June 12)

[Locky]

these are still **** for trifire......

Yep.

 

[An Exception]

For what reason are people even using 3 cards like the 7970? more money than sense springs to mind...

 

[MOOGLEYS]

Working fine for me although I have been using 12.4 without issues so no idea if they are better but no problems so far on a single 7970.

Looks very promising for performance, looks like these drivers are the ones to have for the 7000 series. Will wait for the WHQL version before I finally update from 12.3 .

I haven't got a clue what's going on with AMD but haven't they stopped WHQL drivers now, for these drivers which have no official weekly/monthly release date?

They've stopped monthly releases to concentrate on bringing better drivers, hence why there was no 12.5 official.

12.7 beta is by far the best driver for me, and has given me reason to upgrade from 12.4.

Eyefinity?

Amd's trifire support has been **** poor literally all this year, im still on driver 11.12 as it seems to be the only one that gives good performance for bf3. Pathetic

well i've just installed it and i can't move the power slider in CCC - anyone else able to do this?

Try using MSI Afterburner, disable Amd over drive.

 

[BS Dave]

kinda wanted to avoid using afterburner

How come?

 

[LtMatt]

Is the catalyst control center the borked version again?

 

[BS Dave]

because i can't see any point using it unless i clock much higher than i can i CCC i can clock to 1100/1575 in CCC and 1200/1650 with afterburner but it takes an aggressive fan profile to be stable.

I'd rather run quieter and slightly slower with quickest driver there is

 

[BS Dave]

Which bits Matt? - i'll have a look

Ok I like to use AB for its on screen display what GPU usage and temps etc.

 

[BS Dave]

ok wierdly once i've put it up to plus 20% in afterburner it sticks in CCC...seems ok in bf3 so far though it's difficult to tell with these little increases

 

[BS Dave]

the on screen display is good but i tend to concentrate on that rather than playing the game!!

Yes I agree they are pathetic but, a pair of clocked 7950's or 70's should fine for eyefinity, no?
I won't ever run a dual gpu setup, let alone trifire/sli, although I only run 2560*1600, but if push came to shove, two top end GPU's should be fine...

 

[Twirlywoos]

nah I'm uninstalling it now. It's the 3rd display screen crash I've had just doing medial tasks in windows or browsing. Never happened with 12.6

 

[BS Dave]

Wow if this is true esp the bf3 scores I can be truly proud of my 7970, even if I did get it at launch day prices
