Great, thanks, going to see the GTA V in person very, very soon...

 

[Frag_Maniac]

I installed these and I'm seeing Niko instead of Michael, what do I do?

Is this optimized voice acting?

 

[fullinfusion]

Na not this time.. I'm happy with the last beta and the omega as my all around goto driver.

 

[ThE_MaD_ShOt]

Yea i'll stick to the Omegas for now. I see no benefit in these for me.

AMD ever gonna release a signed WHQL driver again?

AMD ever gonna release a signed WHQL driver again?

15.12 (Pegasus)

 

[MrGenius]

Is no Bueno.

Just spent the entire day trying to stabilize with these drivers. Not happening!

I had high hopes after how well 15.3's been treating me. I've been waiting for 15.3 all my life. Well, since I bought this 280X anyway. I have my doubts much more can be squeezed out of it driver wise. And if I have to lower my OC by 1 more MHz to run them, I'll have to buy a water cooler to run 1175 stable. Which looks to be the case potentially. And I can't afford that. So I'm screwed.

1175 is still pretty good though.

You fully lost me there.

AMD ever gonna release a signed WHQL driver again?

As a matter of fact, they have released one as of a few weeks ago. I'm currently running the 15.2 WHQL driver on Windows 10.

Not really by choice though. Since they decided to automatically install it for me 3 days go, I'm unable to switch back to any other drivers and have them work. I've only tried 14.12, 15.3, and 15.4. Because that's all I'll settle for, if/when I get to choose. Until then, I guess I'll settle for what I can get to run at all. Who knows? Maybe it'll work fine. I've only just now finally given up on the impossible uninstall/reinstall battle, so I haven't even tested it out yet. We'll see.

 

[Countryside]

For win 7 and win 8 latest WHQL is 14.12
