ATI 10.3 Beta Driver Problems

alexsubri · Mar 7, 2010, 05:22 PM

I just installed the 10.3 BETA verison. I just finished installing it and nothing has happen. It still says 10.2? I tried unistalling 10.2 and driver's via DriveSweeper, no luck still.

How can I fix this? I have crossfire 5850, and I hear there is up to 20% performance increase!

Thanks

Beta drivers always show the previous official release as the version. In the case of the 10.3 it would show 10.2 as the version, so you are ok.

Really, in what games have you noticed the performance in?

DTV DRAGON · Mar 7, 2010, 10:10 PM

Ok cool, I guess I will wait for the official drivers then, Im too lazy to install those beta drivers.

DTV DRAGON · Mar 7, 2010, 10:20 PM

Yeah, because it's a lot more work installing beta drivers.

I'm running them and they're just fine. Do you notice a performance differnece? Sometimes what they say don't mean a thing.

I noticed an increase as well, however, I also upgraded from XP to Windows 7 at the same time. I'm not sure if the increase was from the new windows, or 10.3.

Pure and simple, If you are an Official Beta Tester for AMD report to them the problems or even try to report problems via their catalyst Feedback Problem. Otherwise Switch back to a stable release driver.

Just wondering, when do you expect the official release of these drivers?
