AMD "Never Settle" 12.11 Driver - benchmarks

Installed these drivers. They seem to work ok although I can't see any in-game non benchmark difference. They seem to be stable enough with no crashes so far which is always good.

Which card you using? I can certainly see a difference with a 7870. The 7870 does have the biggest improvement percentage wise from the new drivers though.
 
12.11 (Beta 4) doesnt work for me, blue screens when installing the driver. Tried uninstalling all CCC/Drivers but still the same problem. I have a 6770 & 5770 CF.

12.10's seem to be fine. Guess I'll try again when the next beta is released, shame I wanted to enjoy the extra FPS :(
 
updated to 12.11 beta4 and can only go up to 1050 in afterburner, ive disabled amd overdrive but its still locked on afterburner any ideas?
 
Great improvement for me, my 7970 (XFX 7970 Black Edition) has a score of 2054 in heaven which is a nice increase over 1994 with the 12.8s. Im yet to try 3dmark

BF3, this is where the driver shines for me, everything maxed @ 1920x1080

12.8 sits in the 70s, peaks over 100.

12.11 sits in the high 80s. peaks over 110.

I tried MoHW with a vpn, FPS sits around 100 in SP. I've not tried MP

So all in all, its been a good day for ATI 7 series users.

Anyone tried GW2 yet?
 
Man, I thought 12.9 was good...

Although it was great before, BF3 just feels smoother with 12.11.
Min fps could sometimes briefly drop to the mid 50's with Ultra/2xMSAA before.
I play with fps limited to 60fps and had a couple of hours in multiplayer last night (32-64) with Ultra/4xMSAA and never saw the counter move from 60.

Had to fix the ridiculously jittery 2d clock situation though...

WHich vpn did you use for MoHW mate ?
 
Well I just had a quick go on BF3 CQ with the 12.11 beta's and they seem great with my 7870.....solid 60fps on ULTRA 4X AA at 1650 x 1050...........saying that not sure what it was before.....

After some more testing on bigger maps my FPS still does not move from 60FPS.....wooooooo

I'm sure my low res helps but hey better then before!!
