It fixes the HDMI over-scan problem for one

If I am not mistaken updates to CCC also fix pathways in general, making everything a little bit better even though it is not listed. I could be wrong, but I am on 12.8 now, thanks mate.

I feel your pain, I just installed my other graphics card yesterday and re-installed the 12.6 drivers less than 24 hours ago.

H82LUZ73 · Aug 16, 2012, 07:31 AM

Oh boy and i was about to install Win8 and 12.8 have support.
Resolved Issues for the Windows 8 Operating System (These issues were found in the Catalyst driver for the Windows 8 Preview)

Video playback using the Metro video player no longer shows green corruption
Deus Ex - Human Revolution: Graphics corruption is no longer experienced during in game cinematics with AMD Crossfire functionality enabled
Battlefield 3: game no longer crashes when AMD Crossfire functionality is enabled
Need for Speed – The Run: game no longer crashes to the desktop
Blocky video corruption no longer seen when using VLC
System no longer hangs when using PowerDVD
Green video corruption is no longer seen when using various video players

Just what I was going to install for game testing in Win8.

+1 on that.
Yeah, fixed.

it works with trixx xd , no problem with my oc .

nice, I was wondering why my system crashed when returning from sleep sometimes...

repsol23 · Aug 16, 2012, 02:52 PM

It also fixed some flickering issues I had been having with the 12.6 drivers. Anytime I would load a game like Diablo 3, my screen would flicker and tear repeatedly until the game was running. Was really quite annoying but glad it has been resolved.

Seemingly broke RDP on my home PC, after logging in I get a black screen.
