AMD Posts its Catalyst 14.7 RC Driver

[plast0000]

what hurts me that this driver is not for Vista
13.12 is working good but we need updates as well
come on AMD

amd drivers are pretty damn solid if you don't do multiple gpu setups. i tried multiple gpu setup 3 times, and it's very inconsistent. too much of a headache.

I still get random BSOD's with a single card.

I've downloaded this a few times since it was released, and while the installer says it's 14.7 RC, the installed "Catalyst Version" is still showing as 14.6 RC in Catalyst Control Center. And my AOC monitor still flickers.

It shows the same in both GPUz and Afterburner for me as well.

It might not be the driver but something else in your system. I have no BSOD on my system with my 290.

With different GPU's this rig is as stable as a rock, add an AMD GPU and it is no longer stable. Not rocket science.

Never heard of a faulty card from Nvidia needing to be replaced due to BSOD, right?

I've not had one but I get the felling you are going to say that you have?

Run into a bad apple every so often no matter what manufacturer you go through. It comes with the territory of building your own system.

From reading through the graphics forum and my own experiences it seems to be that AMD have the lions share of bad apples.

Its from my personal feelings after scouring fantasy fiction that I believe unicorns still exist and are prevalent in suburban America. Wonder how many AMD/Nvidia owners do NOT post in forums? Still can't wait for maxwell and the R9 3XX series to be released. Need more power out of these bad boys for 4k/8k (obviously still a few years out).

So { forums = fantasy fiction } and { personal experience = unicorns }?

Lol?? You know when a top tier product from a company has a staple like "R9290 BSoD issue" that is consistent across board vendors and effects hundreds of users it stops being imaginary and becomes a fact.

Lol??

Taking it a bit too literal =P. Not all forums, or their users, are equal. Should add emphasis to the "Lol"

A lot of folks are reporting this. My best guess is they just forgot to update whatever string would represent the driver number in your catalyst. I wouldn't worry too much about it but keep in mind it has BETA in the tag for a reason. Best of luck.
