These things doesn't matter to you, and still you want someone to make it matter to you. I don't get you.

A what? Don't have problems with either in terms of having heavily overclocked and overvolted card which is drawing well over 200W of power and is not hot neither noisy. It's not like good coolers haven't existed for what, decades? But no, people buy the absolute minimum crap they stick on cheapest cards and then bitch about heat and noise...

Have you called xfx and talked to there tech guys about the problem? I had an issue with one of the 2 xfx 4series cards with one not giving close to the same numbers as the other and I ran some benches and recorded them and emailed them the tests. If memory serves me correctly they took the card back and I had a replacement within the week

To me it sounds like a power switching problem from 3d to 2d and maybe they will link you to a test bios if you ask nicely.

Yeah this is how it ended. But sadly even after the BIOS update I still kept getting artifcats. Looks like its up to when I decided to RMA. What I've been doing it running chrome with GPU Acceleration Disabled. Makes for less switching from 2D to 3D.

AphexDreamer · Oct 12, 2014

Anyone getting memory leaks after installing this? I can't be sure if its the driver or Game but My ram usage spikes up with no apparent source in task manager.

Its the Non-Paged Pool.

AsRock · Oct 12, 2014

Not with Divinity Original Sins at least, not sure about others though. It's at 89 and games been running a good 8 hours lol.

For me 14.9 and 14.9.1 not functionnal with Crossfire R9 280X Tri-X OC 3Gb ...

So I installed the 14.9.1 Beta; AMD CCC tells me to be still 14.7 ....

Version Driver Package = 14.301.1004.141004a-176493E (14.9.1 beta) (141004 = 04/10/2014 = October 2014)
But ! Catalyst Version stay on 14.7 ...

So i have reinstalled the version 14.7.

now the 14.7 display now "version Driver Package = 14.20.1004-140709a-173735E (140709a = 09/07/2014 = July 2014)

Edit : I completely uninstalled the 14.7 before testing the 14.9

If anyone has encountered this problem please let me know

did you use DDU?

DDU ? what is DDU ?

RandomSadness · Oct 14, 2014

Display Driver Uninstaller. It allows you to thoroughly uninstall your drivers without leaving folders , registry keys , etc. You can find a copy of it over there : http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

The Mac · Oct 14, 2014

yeah, the guy who wrote it is super involved, and updates it often.

Its fixes a lot of problems for a lot of people.

The fact that its showing up as 14.7 leads me to believe you have registry fragments, or keys that were locked when you uninstalled.

DDU should take care of that.

I don't know, maybe you can ask the AMD rep over at Tom's in the thread he made about this driver update on the Graphics forum.

I often don't even bother DLing let alone installing new AMD drivers anymore. They only seem to care about R9, APUs, and Crossfire.

i got a slight improvement in mordor.
i was using 14.4 before

URBAN303 · Oct 14, 2014

Yes i have using "amd_cleanup_util_1.2.1.0.exe" without success ...

So, if i using "amd_cleanup_util_1.2.1.0.exe" i can before install catalyst ; go to the regedit to deleted AMD Drivers Registry ?

The Mac · Oct 14, 2014

No, use ddu.

Today AMD announced that with the release of its Catalyst 14.6 Beta that they would no longer be supporting Windows 8 :shadedshu:

Is windows 8 that bad? I have no problems with it and I don't care about the dam start button.
How can a driver support Vista, W7, W8.1 and yes W10, but not 8??? :twitch:

because you can update free of charge to 8.1 if you did not cheap out when you got win8 as some versions are not upgradable.

Because anyone with Windows 8 can use Windows update to get the superior 8.1 at no cost? There's no reason to use Windows 8. It is defunct.

Free yes, but too much trouble for me

8.1 just don't like what I have installed on my computer and gives me a lot of errors. I spent a whole day trying to upgrade an as I eliminated one error, I'd get another. Not into a reinstall either.
Thanks
