**THE AMD DRIVERS THREAD**

[Doco]

Going into the Catalyst centre it seems my Crossfire is now disabled and I can't enable it..

Same issue - but I restarted my system at it allowed me to visually enable it (as in the button for crossfire is enabled but it doesnt seem to actually be registred hence my post )

That must be their fix lol, disable the other cards

Did you do a full uninstall and reboot before installing the new ones?

No I did not normally just install the new drivers and it works, I'l have to do a full uninstall now though ugh lol

 

[Zeed]

Cant believe YOU people still cant install drivers properly ......

With betas it's always worth uninstalling first, sometimes the release notes say you have to. If you're on Windows 7 you can use AMD's uninstall tool to make sure they're all gone completely.

express uninstall drivers in control panel reboot then run driver sweeper

[Doco]

I've never uninstalled the old amd drivers and never had issues until now lol

I just installed over the top, no problems at all, loaded up bf3 and it's as good as single card mode in crossfire with no input lag.

 

[C64]

do these contain the caps as well like 13.6 beta ? we still need that on single cards right ?

Have you tried Trifire or was that Trifire?

 

[Suarez7]

If the driver version is newer than the caps then they will be included in the driver. Sure this gets answered every time there's a new driver lol.

Best to wait for the release notes. Since these are targeted at crossfire they're bound to contain updated ones.

That was trifire.

All cards loaded up nicely

Radeon pro is not installed either.

Nice to know thanks

Did you notice much of a hit on the fps?

Guru3D article "later tonight":

Later tonight we'll also have an article ready for you guys on the new Framepacing technology that this driver is going to enable.

 

[Zeed]

C64 same here always drivers sweeper.
One extra reboot like 30s with ssd and no problems.
When ill run back home and do training ill run heaven and catzilla on my 13.6 and try those 13.8 out post some SS later on

 

[Matson]

Installed fine for me no problems..
Not really sure whats the best game to test these on though?
If i remember right bioshock infinate had parts where it would suddenly go to a stutter so i presume the frame pacing is supposed to fix that?

 

[Locky]

BF3 was already smooth anyway, tried some other games and I can't see any difference at all.
