AMD Drivers- Whats going on

[Nevakonaza]

Anyone been having problems with all of AMDs latest drivers as of 11.1 onwards?

The drivers seem to have gone downhill imo since AMD took over Ati

Im talkin about in games such as BC2,Bulletstorm etc...all are performing laggy/slugish.

BC2 use to run very nice ony my rig,In the 80fps+ range and now im lucky to see 55 and just like i said slugish performance.

Just courius to see if im the only one having problems.

I found 11.2 drivers where good for BFBC2

I have had no problems with my 6870. I have used 10.12,11.1,11.2 and now the 11.4 whql. I did have problems trying out the 11.4 betas though which gave me a rainbow like effect on dark colours in all my games. I put that down to them being betas though and now the 11.4 officials are working great.

i'm getting the odd weirdness with the 11.4's with my 5970+5870;

1) whenever there is water in l4d2 (no mercy sewers, swamp fever etc), gpu usage (and so fps) drops
2) if i drag my cursor to the top right of my desktop, it judders around in one small area
3) i get random freezing every so often whilst using firefox, as in mouse won't move, clock doesn't tick on etc, but it's fine after a second or 2.

on the flip side, with overdrive enabled and using eyefinity, idle clock speeds are down to 157/300

with every driver i used since 10.10 (excluding these) i had an annoying flickering on the outer 2 monitors, so it's a worthy trade off i guess considering minimum fps has been slightly improved since 10.10's

It sounds like your running every possible thing that AMD have problems with.

Crossfire, 5970 + a 5870, tripple monitor etc..... Just just that, but all together! Your gona get some weirdness that for sure.

Yes because they messed it all up after 10.11 10.10e.

but he was saying that card combo + eyefinity was the cause, nothing about drivers
