ATI Catalyst 9.12 WHQL Released

binge, do you see 640x480 in the resolution drop down of 3dmark06 ? i see only 656x496 :( .. it's not a monitor problem though .. same everything cat 9.11 works, 9.12 + hd 4000 works, and nvidia works of course too

I'm afraid I can sir. :ohwell:
 
thanks, let's see what ati has to say :)
 
I wish they would fix minimum framerates on CODWAW in Crossfire mode.

Every website and magazine reports on this but ATi/AMD do nothing.

According to the amd blog(scroll down t the bottom) the hotfix that comes out with these drivers allows eyefinity on CFX setups. Multi-monitor people rejoice!

:eek: :toast:

I don't have an eyefinity setup but sugarcoat-me-and-call-me-Jenny, hot damn I'd like one now. If I won lotto tomorrow I'd be getting 2 x 5970 and 3 x 24" screens and I'd be shitting myself with the beautifully warped perspective.

the hotfix may help. i saw something about the thermal sights not lagging anymore too.
 
CCC Won't open.
 
Look like the 9.12 fixes all my vertical line problem. Been going @ default clock without crashing so far. Yey, finally I can play MW2 without getting shot in the head while stuttering.
 
is anyone else having issues running 3dmark06 cpu tests under windows 7 64-bit using hd 5000 cards? tried 9.12 and the hotfix drivers. on core i7 (doubt that makes any difference)

I keep getting d3derr_invalidcall even before any testing starts. the normal tests work fine, seems to work fine with non-hd5000, seems to work fine with cat 9.11


Hi W1zzard. I was having the same issue with 3DMark06. What I noticed was that 640x480 was not available in the ATI icon resolutions on the task bar. After opening up CCC/Graphics, mode tab and choosing 640x480 and applying it, it now shows up in the ATI taskbar icon resolutions. Set my resolution back to native, and now 3DMark06 runs error free. Go figure, these are some messed up drivers.
 
Damn it seems like everyone is having problems with the hotfix. I think Ill be going back to 9.12 also. I have a feeling these things were rushed.
 
No fan control with this ccc? My performance dropped, but maybe because the card is not as cool! I'll go back to the originals!
 
Update: today, 640x480 is missing from CCC. I have done nothing to the PC but turn it off overnight and turn it back on. So strange.
 
I don't have the issues you guys are talking about. I'm on Windows 7 64Bit and using the 9.12 Hotfix drivers as well with my 5770. All my resolutions (including 640*480) are still available in both 3DMark06 (run many tests since installing 9.12HF) and CCC.

All my fan controls work, the card clocks great just like before, and performance is great as well.

Kei

Got 640x480 back by unticking Hide modes that this monitor cannot display.

Drats, 3Dmark06 gives the error and monitor won't go into 640x480.

Anyone know why it is reporting that I have Catalyst 9.7 installed? I am using the 9.12 hotfix drivers. Do you have to install the hotfix over 9.12 or as a clean install? Also my direct compute score seems really low and I also have no OpenCL.

Normally I do a clean install of video drivers. ATI is just starting to make their drivers worthy of simple upgrading, but I don't believe they are there yet.
 
seems there is no improve for HD4xxx series

I couldn't agree more. That last Hot "fix" was a nightmare!
 
Uninstalled, cleaned, deleted, uninstalled and had windows delete driver backups, rebooted, checked and installed.


All working OK.



Are we back to this again ATI? A hour process to install new drivers, just like it used to be? And AVIVO is using CPU instead of stream to process video files, and so far both tests for me have F'ed up the aspect ratio during conversion.
