Why Stable Drivers for BF3 AMD/ATI

Which Stable Drivers for BF3 AMD/ATI

EDIT - Meant Which not why in the title lol -

On 12.7 betas at the moment but would appreciate some input from BF3 players on the best driver set at the moment for use in BF3.
I keep getting BSODS relating to my graphics driver and its annoying the **** out of me.

Please fully star out swear words!

Check your overclocks. Both CPU and GPU

12.6 or 12.7 haven't been stable for me.

Been getting random bsod also with 12.7 betas but its only 2 maybe 3 times a week and i play a lot so doesn't really bother me it's an excuse to restart my PC lol

I use 12.4 official drivers, I did try 12.5 beta and 12.6 official but game seemed to run worst.
@OP can you download and install Blue screen viewer and it will list the driver in Red.

Im still on 12.3. TBH never had the itch to upgrade, does the job fine for BF3, 0 Crashes on a Eyefinity crossfire setup

Have you ever had the problem where FPS halves when you enable xfire?

I'm still on 12.3 also. I have problems with later versions...

12.3 for me, has been solid in BF3.

 

[Septym]

Are 12.3 the best drivers? Got a 6950 and I've had a lot of stability issues.

I would also appreciate a few more responses on which driver version has been best for people. As mentioned here, 12.3 has people happy and I have also heard good things about 12.2.

I'm currently awaiting my build as listed below, so having a nice stable driver for a new build would be great. I have just moved away from Nvidia for the first time in years and I hope I will not regret it

Nope

Just thought I would weigh in.

12 seris drivers have been causing me all sorts of BSOD issue.

Have rolled back to 11.12c drivers and seems to have cured the problem.

running ATI 5870 vapour-x

Did you check your clocks when that happens? I find disabling hardware acceleration in flash players and disabling ULPS fixes it. If you cba just close the net and videos when playing and see if it improves.
