AMD Rolls Out the Catalyst 12.11 Beta 11 Driver
AMD has now made available an updated version of its Catalyst 12.11 graphics drivers. Known as the Beta11, this latest release features all the goodies of previous Catalyst 12.11 Beta builds and brings improved performance in Far Cry 3 (up to 25% with 8xMSAA, SSAO enabled @ 1600p, and up to 15% with 8xMSAA, HDAO enabled @1600p) (the newly-released AMD Catalyst 12.11 CAP2 must also be installed)

So AMD didn't know how to optimize for farcry 3 either? I thought nV had the boost because they hadn't gotten access to the game early... but I thought that meant that AMD did
![]() Oh well, free performance is free performance. |

Wonder if my computer will stop randomly getting rebooted (upgraded PSU, CPU and MB, no difference) and getting Event 41 Kernel-Power errors every so often, along with other GPU-specific problems. We'll see.

OMG, thank goodness. I was wrecking my brain thinking it was something wrong with my config files and such.

I wonder if this:
Resolves a sporadic system hang encountered with a single AMD Radeon HD 7000 Series GPU seen on X58 and X79 chipsets. ...means that they have fixed this: http://my.opera.com/rejzor/blog/2012...en-very-slowly They are mentioning HDMI Audio but only for Ubuntu so that doesn't apply for me. But the above one does HD7000+X58 chipset combo... will have to try it out afternoon.

The lack of support for 5xxx series is becoming frustrating...

No PlanetSide 2 fixes?
Using 12.11 beta 8, which supposedly helped crossfire scaling, only made things worse. I now have to disable crossfire to get a smooth 60fps, with crossfire enabled I'm lucky to break 18fps. I'll try this out and see if it helps. If not, I'm rolling back to 12.8. So f*cking sick of these crappy AMD drivers, bad drivers are the reason I left NV in the first place. Suppose it's time to go back to the green side next time I swap cards, their drivers can't possibly be worse than AMD's recent releases...

Agreed. For Crossfire, AMD drivers are the worst in history!!

Yep. Recently I've been thinking of selling off one of my 7970s because of the crappy crossfire scaling. AMD's drivers were good up until the 7 series, my 6850s ripped through everything but Metro 2033(which is understandable, that game is demanding as hell in DX11.) What happened, AMD?

Then sold the last one and went back to nVidia. There is only so long that anyone should wait for something to work as it should. |

Most new games have shitty scaling. Just look at latest NFS Most Wanted 2012. It won't scale at all on ANY dual graphic card setup. Be it NV or AMD...

Not sure if these drivers are cool. I can't overclock my card anymore to 1200/6000 with these drivers because as soon as i switch MSI Afterburner into unofficial mode, lower half of the screen starts to literally jump after clicking elements in windows. Even lowering voltages and clocks back to default doesn't help and it starts doing this at very tiny clock increases. With unofficial mode disabled, no problems even up to 1100MHz core which is the max for official mode. Very annoying problem but i have to use these drivers if i want to have damn shadows in Skyrim. Double annoying.
