**THE AMD DRIVERS THREAD**

[Silent_Scone]

Can anyone tell me please where I find the legacy drivers on the AMD site. I've got a very old PCI card here that I'm yet to identify but can't see where they've decided to put the drivers. Might be better of looking on Omega.

EDIT: Scrap that, Omegas work just fine.

Wasn't there a certain 7970 you were going to marry?

I was young and needed the money.

 

[Choimaloy75]

Oh they are.

Marginally hotter, marginally louder, more than marginally faster. After running my 7990 at 85c or less for a few months, running my 290's at 90c or less is nay bother.

Is there much difference in performance between a 7990 and 2x290's.

According to my testing its around 20-25% faster with both at stock, depending on the game.


7990 @stock 1000/1500

290@Stock 975/1250
13.12 WHQL

Nah, had them last week, currently on 13.35beta17 and these aint got a mantle option either.

The AMD rep says 14.1 will be in a few weeks.

The Kaveri driver will be release today. Please keep an eye open on our Drivers Page (here is the link: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download)

And 14.1 will be released later (probably in a few weeks), I'll keep you posted on this.

[uksoldierboy]

New drivers for AMD's new APU.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[uksoldierboy]

Well that's crap getting annoyed playing the waiting game now

 

[DamnedLife]

In a few weeks... few weeks?? I agree the last poster and I am really un hyped right now.

makes no difference if your like me and only play bf4, cant fix a broken game by adding more performance !

 

[DamnedLife]

Whats broken for you Im curious. Only beta was unplayable for me and one shot kill bug really ****ed me off but they ve fixed it. Latest patch fixed one of my friends memory leak problems and now we are playing with no problems. What is your bug?

i hope your kidding right??

 

[DamnedLife]

Nope I know its a small scale but me and 9 other friends of mine play without any difficulties in two teams on the same side and only one friend had pb kick problem and one other with memory leak but its fixed with yesterdays patch.
So what is the problem you are having? If you tweet your problem they return to you shortly on twitter btw. When my friend had memory leaks they offered some workarounds one of which made him have leaks less frequently but with the patch he doesnt have it anymore.

Why can't AMD just say when the damn thing is coming out... at the very least they could launch it with some falling cube demos.

Even though the AMD page states it is for the new Kaveri APUs, the drivers will install for desktop cards as well. I've been testing them with my 7970 and they appear to have stopped the screen flickering I've had with certain applications for the past couple of months.
