Kinda scared to test these out. I'm on the 13.2 beta 7 and have no issues.

spectatorx · Mar 15, 2013

Thanks for links. Already installed.

MilkyWay · Mar 15, 2013

Wit? Sim City 4? That must be a troll.

Nordic · Mar 15, 2013

Wait. What. When did we get out of 13.2... downloading.

And?

Still get artifacts when scrolling in browser. Crosshatched sections of the screen jump around.

Back to 12.8 again.

it's not for human consumption.

oh, wait...

uh..

going from 3D to accelerated flash leads to monitor on DP dropping out/artifacting a mess. Checking single monitor now.

Any artifacts in skyrim on hd7xx?

Depends on what is cosdiered artifacting in Skyrim.
For me with an HD7870 and 13.2 betya 6, I am not getting the image corruptions I was getting before.
Rendering LOD/visible pop ups, yes but I do expect those issues to appear regardless of card and manufacturer.

pigulici · Mar 16, 2013

On my hd7850(sapphire) + 13.2b7 work ok, but I don't know if will be ok with the 13.3b2...

Prima.Vera · Mar 16, 2013

When I try to install the drivers, in Installation windows it show me the option for driver gray out. It says the driver is already install and to select it if I want to re-install it again. Funny thing is that I have 13.2 beta 5 installed. In Catalyst it shows me the driver version as 12.10.17-130202a, while the new 13.3 beta shows 12.100.17.0000 version.
Thoughts?

Drivers are nice and work well on my end. The only problem i have is the gpu randomly starts getting used about 85% on both cards while idle on my desktop, but the second i click onto my 2nd monitor, the usage stops?!

EDIT: Discovered when i downloaded 3dmark 11 free from their website, it downloaded iehighutil.exe at the same time...

straight from both official websites, I know it was from 3d marl because I checked my web history logs. Kinda weird to get a bitcoin mining malware with 3dmark direct from their site, might engage in conversation with them
