Just installed these on my 5970 (windows 7 x64) and it has completely screwed up my screen. I have a horizontal tear and a vertical tear on my screen where the elements are all in the wrong place and having massive rendering issues on the desktop. It does not appear in screenshots, so here's a photo of the screen:

Your milage may vary, but make sure you have a system restore ready if you're installing these.

**edit**

A full system restart does seem to have fixed this, just in case anyone else sees the same issue.

installed normally; using HD 5970 & Windows 8.1 Preview; [deep cleaned old 13.10 beta v1 first]

will update here; if issues arrise

Includes a 32-bit single GPU, and a AMD Crossfire game profile for Battlefield 4

Why?

The beta is 64-bit only.

 

[Wrigleyvillain]

I am going to see how the beta runs then perhaps install these. I don't have Crossfire so...

 

[mastrdrver]

Even if you do have crossfire and these don't work, you can just make your own and base it off BF3. Won't be the best, but better then nothing (hopefully).

 

[erocker]

Installed, played some BF3 and all is well.

I'm still waiting for the Crossfire + Eyefinity frame pacing.....

I'm still waiting for the Crossfire + Eyefinity frame pacing.....

You and me both.

Subbed

 

[Prima.Vera]

Total War: Rome 2 AMD CrossFire profile update

Finally!

 

[de.das.dude]

subbing to see if any 7790 users take bait. and their results.

 

[Ja.KooLit]

damn would like to try this new drivers but i am not in my desktop now...

but good to see AMD is really working hard on their drivers instead of releasing CAP profiles as they do before

 

[Prima.Vera]

From 52 to 67FPS in Rome II. Nice!

 

[Wrigleyvillain]

Lots of people complaining about this or that with BF4 beta (and water is wet) but all generally positive reports re. these drivers, as far as I can tell or have seen as yet...

I'm still waiting for the Crossfire + Eyefinity frame pacing.....

[Mussels]

[Wrigleyvillain]

Not sure exactly what u mean or are referring to?

 

[Mussels]

Not sure exactly what u mean or are referring to?

look at the mobility links, mouse over them to see the name (and check filesize)

 

[Deadlyraver]

Jeez, I gotta wait for 64-bit Xfire support now for BF4 how stupid.

 

[mastrdrver]

Works fine for me.

 

[NdMk2o1o]

Getting tearing on 2 monitor set up with official 13.9's that I wasn't getting before, looks like some kind of vsync issue, so happily trying 13.10 beta

 

[Mussels]

these are working fine for me with my desktop + laptop.


laptop as always 'dual graphics' is broken, but thats HP's problem.

I'm not exactly sure what you meant there, but the latest drivers still only support frame pacing on a single monitor with resolution maximum 2560x1600 and only in DX10/DX11.
