AMD "Never Settle" 12.11 Driver - benchmarks are in!

The Sapphire 7870 V2 had BSOD issues. That's the only model I've read anything about. They used non spec caps.

GPU usage issues? I thought it happened only with "Enduro" on the notebooks...

what sort of texture issues? was your card stable? because many 7870 had bad capacitors causing problems

The card was stable, even when overclocked to 1100 MHz. It would have subtle texture artifacting on characters and not-so-subtle artifacting "in the distance", among other graphical glitches. It was most notable in Skyrim.

sadly I can't get these drivers to work with my cards. No matter what I did I'd just get a BSOD when launching any 3D application.

12.8 and 12.10 works perfectly. I'll wait till the official release of these drives and try again then. Only game I'm really playing right now is SC1 so...

Crazy how such drivers can be fantastic for some and just a disaster for others,i have found them to be 110% stable especially since beta 8.

Perhaps some oc setting on the cpu or memory is interfering with the drivers, i5 2500 non k and a mild 1050/1450 oc on my 7850 and no issues and in the pass all i had was issues with amd drivers.....
