AMD Catalyst 11.1 WHQL and 11.1a Hotfix Formally Announced

yes, i was talking about 11.1a


I just upgraded to 11.1 official, and YES it does have this problem.
STRANGELY something is up with 11.1a - mine thinks its 10.10 now (10.12 was what i had last)

I have the 11.1a drivers installed. Everything looks right to me. or, am I missing something?

And the problems start to pile up . What a set of horrible drivers they have written once again from 10.11 to 10.12 to the debacle of the 11.1 ! Really great job there ATI !
 
all they've done is fecked up the version numbers, and some problems crossfire users are having.

overall its not that terrible.

heaven forbid that i forget what drivers i'm actually on (this is after a complete uninstall, driver cleaner, reboot, new install, reboot)
 
the CCC still says 10.12, thats what im talking about. or in my case, 10.10

Yea, I see that now Mussels. I'm now wondering if people using 11.1 are seeing incorrect version numbers too, or if its just 11.1a.

ahhh, so its across the board with bad version numbers. thx holy
 
I think it is more than just bad version #'s I think they are totally fucked up ! They seem to be in a rush and not focused at all . ATI needs to step up there game or they will be loosing some fine folks to nvidia .
 
Someone (a programmer) over at ATi did not do their job, as they forgot to change the version number.

Easily fixed with a registry edit, if it is bothering anyone.

The only thing that matters is the version numbers of the drivers and ccc.

works fine for me.
ran the preview driver before.

Fxxked up or not, at lease these drivers don't have video playback problems that the 10.10e has.
So far the only thing that is fxxked up is the version number.
 
I'm really disappointed they didnt fix the issue with flash video playing and clock speeds.

I agree somewhat that this isn't that terrible. A comparison of thread topics on TPU would still indicate that nvidia has less driver issues though. It is makes AMD look less professional IMO.
 
Argh, 11.1a is shit on my setup. BSOD on two reference HD 5770s. :P Going back to 10.6.

And this was with a pure clean up using DriverSweeper. :shadedshu WTF is ATI doing?
 
i've said this half a dozen times in the last half hour... AMD hotfixes RARELY include a version number. it always shows as the last official driver you had installed.

If it does then you didn't properly uninstall the last drivers before the new ones.

Just stay with 10.10e. Ever since the 6xxx series hit the market all the drivers have been shit for the 5xxx series.

i did a driver sweeper and everything with 10.11 and it still shows as 10.10... there is some leftover weirdness in these drivers. I'm wondering if its just 10.10 in the package, at least for 5K users
 
Yeah, the 10.10e drivers are working flawlessly. No need for upgrades, since there is no real improvement in ANY game for 5*** series...

10.10e break starcraft II. that is not flawless.

Man you got lucky it fucked me over so bad it took my OS with it after the 3rd BSOD !

Work perfectly for me too but i don't play starcraft. I'm staying on 10.10e :rockout:

Yup. They killed my old install too after 1 BSOD. Im sticking with 10.10e until I get a new GPU :laugh:
