windows 8.1?

gigabyte vga?

click on my system specs

And @ all the ppl that use DDU and all the other shit un-installers, why use them?
Keep it simple and use the ccc uninstaller in add/remove programs..thats it!

Ive lost a lot of time pissn around going into safe mode and doing this n that, and sense I stopped using those programs I haven't been having any issues with drivers.

Btw, for people with SB950 southbridge handling SSDs in AHCI mode, this suite includes updated AHCI drivers for Windows 7/8/8.1. Find them in "\Packages\Drivers\SBDrv\hseries\AHCI\" You can install it manually using Device Manager, or during Windows Setup, as an "F6" driver.

Probably a problem with converting settings to the new CCC version.

^This. This is almost always the reason AMD drivers screw up during installation. The old profiles aren't removed and the driver will try loading profiles that are no longer compatible.

They are located in AppData->Roaming (and Local). Find the ACE folder(s) and delete them.

AMD now has another separate uninstall utility to get what the driver package doesn't uninstall. Safe Mode isn't needed, unless you're having issues. I don't know why they just don't have a better uninstaller included with their driver packages instead of making other programs for it.

Well, installing 14.4 on my machine caused complete chaos. Broke the state of Windows and following a restart getting into normal boot or safe mode was impossible.

Well, sounds like a great time to convert to using UEFI and GPT for booting. Bye bye, MBR. Hopefully a clean install will go over a bit better.

Edit: 14.4 installed nicely after a clean install of Windows. I have nothing to test it out with yet as I have to re-install applications and such, but so far so good.

Did they fix the R9 290X Lightning Issue?

birdie · Apr 27, 2014

Wow, I've got a nice warm feeling having an NVIDIA GPU and never having any troubles with NVIDIA's drivers (even with their beta/RC versions).

I haven't updated my drivers yet, I still have 13.12 and it's running ok. Any real benefit if I jump on 14.4? Any noticeable improvements to single card setups in BF4?

BF4 runs silky smooth with the new drivers compared to 14.3! Running W7 X64 with a 7970.

ValenOne · Apr 27, 2014

Atm, it works fine on my R9-290.

Clearly you've never had a nVidia driver take out your GPU or have tried using multi-monitor under Linux. I'm not going to say nVidia has bad software, but comments like this really serve no purpose but to polarize the thread. Keep your fanboyisms (fanaticism maybe even?) to yourself, please.

upgraded to 14.4

R7 240 in a DC7700p fresh win install no problems

Any point in installing this after already installing the 14.4 RC?

I uninstalled them 1st and rebooted and installed the new ones without issue.

RejZoR · Apr 27, 2014

These work really good on my E-450 APU powered laptop. I don't think my web browser has ever felt so smooth on it. Especially scrolling.

CorrodedFreakZ · Apr 28, 2014

I installed the latest 14.4 version of Catalyst WHQL and the whole screen (usually grey colours) has a very light red overlay. Here is the picture but I dont think you all will be able to see. If you know why this is happening please respond. From that picture look near the search bar. It has a red tint. I dont know whether only I can see since it is in my PC and it displays the greys a bit reddish but thats what it basically looks like. Any help will ne appreciated. Thanx. Until then I am downgrading to 13.12. And I am using HD 7970 GHz Edition in my Win8.1.

Strange issue! I remember a driver a way back that did this for everyone, but this is the first I've seen for this new driver. I'm also using a 7970 and 8.1 and don't have this issue... Not sure how to replicate it.

Your best bet is to fill out this form and explain the issue: http://www.amdsurveys.com/se.ashx?s=5A1E27D25AD12B5A

CorrodedFreakZ · Apr 28, 2014

I downgraded my drivers and it is fine. A month back I downloaded Beta Driver ( I guess 14.3 Beta) and that did the same thing too. I am currently using 13.12 and it is back to normal. Anyway thanx for the reply!

Bow · Apr 28, 2014

No help at all for my BF4 stuttering

Blín D'ñero · Apr 28, 2014

With the 14.4 RC i had the "monitor not waking up after sleep" issue. It is fixed in this WHQL ! [absent thumbup icon]

Crossfired 7970 / single 30" / Win7 x64. :cool:

CorrodedFreakZ · Apr 29, 2014

Even though I downgraded and it still is fine, I would really appreciate a response to my problem. Any small help is welcome.

Blín D'ñero · May 9, 2014

Crossfire users need to disable ULPS.
In this driver set (14.4 WHQL) the ULPS bug is back: 99% usage on GPU2 during gaming (any game), may result in system crash (co-depending on overall load..).
Disble ULPS in Registry to workaround the issue and make all games run correctly again (even load distribution on both GPUs) in crossfire.

Someone please help!!

I am using two HD6950 twin frozr II 2gb cards.. Any driver or CCC version other than the old 13.11 totally disables my crossfire and doesn't even give me the option to enable/disable..

I was having issues with BF4 (namely the "disconnected from EA online 1" error so I thought, let's update and see if that works.. well now each card is showing up independantly.. They are still cabled together, but Furmark and GPUz both show them as Gpu 1 & Gpu 2...

I had this problem before and after finally installing back down to 13.11 I was able to get the crossfire enabled again..

PLEASE!!!!

Build list

Asus Z87-C
Haswell 4670k OC @ 4.4
Samsung 840 pro 256gb
WD 1 tb
8 GB Crucial
Windows 7 64bit
2 6950 twin frozr ii (2 gb each)

How did you uninstall your old drivers?

Suggest complete removal of ANY vga drivers (intel, AMD, NVIDIA)

Use this tool.

http://www.wagnardmobile.com/DDU/

After remove of old drivers, install the new 14.4 driver. I have read somewhere that sometimes you to install 2 times. I dont know but Ive tried installing twice. Nothing happen. but still, it wouldnt affect anything anyway.

I used the new driver version to uninstall and then used Driver Sweeper to fully clean all drivers associated to the amd display.. I also have used the ULPS config tool to disable "stand-by/sleep" mode for the second card...

I have found DDU to be easier to use as it would automatically ask you to restart in safe mode. DDU will NOT install compared to driver sweeper were you have to install it.

If I were you, I will give it a try. And like I said, uninstall ALL video drivers. If I mean ALL, that includes INTEL, AMD and NVIDIA. Remember to create a restore point first so you can always revert back if things mess up. but I have used DDU like hundred times and it was by far the greatest video drivers I have ever used
