AMD "Never Settle" 12.11 Driver - benchmarks
- Thread starter Final8y
- Start date
aaaaand we have another addict
@LtMatt, you shouldn't need 1.7v on the memory, correction should come into play long before you run out of voltage, I can get 1850 to settle around 1.655v and 1950-75 (depends on game/bench to when correction kicks in) at around 1.674v. Memory temps hit a max of 40c.

I could possibly run it lower, that was for a bench i did earlier on Unigine @ 1923.
I've never run the memory that high before.
I haven't worked on tweaking it for a lower voltage yet, but next time i do an extreme bench ill knock it down a notch or two and see if it stable.

****ing LOL
^^Safe!
Replying to myself here!
The answer is yes, it does work in Win8. 
I say old boy, does your cheeky little guide work in Win8?

I think with these drivers because of the performance gains might use a bit more wattage, as a result you might find you need to bump vcore a notch or dial back an overclock ever so slightly.
gave these another go, gave it a little more juice now working like a charm
sleeping dogs is a bit smoother even when tearing round on a bike now
With a high overclock yes, these drivers are definitely putting more stress on the GPU, its perfectly fine and solid, my daily 1200 / 1500 overclock is just as stable as it has always been, but i can't overclock the card as high any more, i used to be able to play BF3 and other DX11 Games @ 1240 / 1250, now anything over 1230 on it and BSOD.
Someone on OC.com noticed a 10w powerdraw increase, its just possible that's enough to put it outside the board power limits at the extreme end of overclocking.
Result: slightly lower overclocking.
Others are reporting slightly better overclocking, those same people seem to have good clocking cards, mine isn't, not by a long way, i feel its probably drawing a lot of power to maintain the clocks i do have, so at maximum volts its just drawing to much and shutting its self down.
It's all gone pear shaped for me, uninstall drivers, black screen, reinstall drivers, black screen.
Currently at 600x400 50Hz just to get into windows
All because you didn't use beta 4.
God damn fate man, its after ya.
It's not the overclocking at all. Happens at stock.
I only get this BSOD after the login screen. Once it reboots it's fine. It's an odd one, i'm thinking GPU Tweak or the drivers themselves. Will have to test.

Not sure what it is tbh, I can get in to safe mode no problem, windows is loading up fine (get noise through speakers) just a black screen after splash as if its trying to force a resolution/refresh out of range. I'll try going from displayport back to DVI to see if I can get it to boot. So far this is what I've done:
Uninstall 12.11
Reboot
Black screen
Reboot
Safe Mode
Reboot
Boot to windows, no drivers.
Reinstall drivers
Reboot
Black screen
Reboot
Safe mode
which is where I am typing this from!
That doesn't sound promising mate.
Maybe one of the cards has gone? Could you try swapping them over?
You do have two cards don't you or did i just make that up?
