AMD Catalyst 12.6 Beta

Meh. I'm still rocking the 11.12's. Every thing else has caused me issues.

I'm still on 11.7. If it ain't broke, don't fix it 🙂

My memory clock will no longer go down to low after I overclock now, making temps high all the time. They used to just go up during gaming.

Anybody? Know? I might have to go back to 12.2 I think 12.4 or 12.3 destroyed Skyrim for me.

Is your browser being used? I know on 12.4 IE and firefox browser would cause gpu usage to go up and down. I turned off acceleration in the advanced options and this keeps gpu usage at the low state.

I don't use Firefox for that exact reason, it spikes the heck out of my clocks and increases fans and temp by just browsing. At the time, I disabled GPU everything but it didn't help.

So I use chrome, which has much less effect on my GPU's. I'm back at 12.2 now, with the latest MSI and its back to normal.

I'm very surprised that Disabling Hardware Acceleration still causes the GPU to spike because it has no effect on my GPUs at all when Disabling Hardware Acceleration, the only other possible cause is that Adobe flash player Hardware Acceleration is still enabled.

Meh, they're all so close it doesn't matter. I'm sticking with 12.2s, been working well for me (fixed all of my game issues that I have reported to AMD) and I usually find major flaws with my Nvidia & AMD drivers. I will note 12.4 on another machine did have driver crashes, and 12.3 I noticed CCC crashed upon changing monitor profiles, who knows what caused these issues (PSU or just a flakey card)- but I never bothered my personal rig off of 12.2. I'll try the next WHQL, whenever that comes.

Welp I've finally run into a Radeon Catalyst Problem that affects me daily. Off all the years using their products and software I've yet to run into an issue that I couldn't solve on my own (most often due to user error) and/or it didn't affect me as greatly as others.

Anyways, with the 12.6 after turning off the computer for whatever reason upon reboot my screen scaling doesn't apply. And yes the CCC option is still set to 0%, but the screen looks like 15%. In fact I have to drop out of 0% to get it to reset.

Kind of weird.

mine applies but it happens after everything is loaded. so at first it loads out of scale and then drops to 0%. First time I am seeing this transition, previous drivers would take me straight to 0 before the desktop loads.

So...is BF3 hitch-free in tri-fire eyefinity? I sold my setup off already. I got tired of waiting for the driver fix.
