AMD Catalyst 13.1 WHQL Drivers Released

btarunr · Jan 18, 2013, 01:48 AM

AMD posted its first major release of the Catalyst software suite for this year, Catalyst 13.1 WHQL. Much along the lines of its 12.11 "Never Settle" driver, the new 13.1 WHQL brings performance enhancements for a boatload of games, targeting Radeon HD 7000 series GPUs based on the Graphics CoreNext (GCN) architecture. We know that AMD is yet to unlock the full potential of GCN, and 13.1 WHQL appears to be a step in that direction. In addition to performance enhancements and fixes, AMD introduced a new 3D settings and profile management user interface within Catalyst Control Center (CCC).

Just installed on my Win7 disk, will try in Win8 as well and see if it resolves any issues I was having.

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Jan 18, 2013, 01:54 AM

I will give them a try on rigs this weekend.

BigMack70 · Jan 18, 2013, 02:01 AM

These look an awful lot like the 12.11 betas wrapped up in a shiny WHQL package... I'll wait for the 13.2 betas where the interesting stuff is happening with frame latency improvements

PopcornMachine · Jan 18, 2013, 02:10 AM

I saw the links up before this post and decided to try it out since I was still running 12.8.

As soon as I did anything with afterburner I started getting scrambled lines just scrolling in a browser.

Back at 12.8 and happy. Usually I don't have problems with these upgrades so a little surprised.

axis007 · Jan 18, 2013, 02:58 AM

Well farcry 3 & bf3 seem to be a few fps better then 12.10s for me anyways and i got 6970

fullinfusion · Jan 18, 2013, 03:22 AM

So far so good, I'll post any issues if encountered.

EDIT: Get the exact same bench mark scores. Video is beautifully crisp and vibrant with no messing with the video settings.

All in all so far I'm liking this driver. I think AMD did a wise thing by pumping out a driver less often with greater results

rick21_wlr · Jan 18, 2013, 03:23 AM

is this work for amd switchable graphic card on windows8?
the latest driver had an issue on it.

Deadlyraver · Jan 18, 2013, 03:29 AM

Finally! No more random lag from X58!

james888 · Jan 18, 2013, 05:21 AM

Afaik, these are 12.11 drivers with whql. I just installed and am running 3d11 to see if it shows a boost.
Edit. Went from 10998 to 11087. The previous score was with 12.11

itsakjt · Jan 18, 2013, 06:26 AM

Trying right now.

Dj-ElectriC · Jan 18, 2013, 06:29 AM

As a person who benchmark GPUs...

YES! REDEMPTION! The wait is over for the stupid WHQL

Prima.Vera · Jan 18, 2013, 07:34 AM

This is callousness! No more improvements for 5xxx generation???

HammerON · Jan 18, 2013, 07:36 AM

Any BOINC crunchers try this driver out yet?

You're not the only one. If you set the clocks/V back to default, then it stops. This actually started in the 12.10s.
But I have a 7950 and 990 chipset

Flashing the bios won't fix it, either.

This sounds like the problem I've been having, try to OC at all with TRIXX or Afterburner and screen flashes when ever I open windows close windows etc. seems like the mem is repeatedly changing clocks rather than a fixed value.

HD 6850 toxic by the way.

Support? Yes.
Improvements? No. EDIT: (or maybe some bug squashing)

Downloading now...

Downloading complete. Didn't notice any difference in my HD6770. :P
