Wonder if catalyst will finally work on my pc!

(*Doesn't hold breath*)

Those preview drivers look bad ass!

 

[fausto412]

both sets of drivers caused me a weekend of problems last weekend. make you you image your drive or set a restore point and boot disk. that is what saved me.

system would hang on shutdown creating errors.

 

[freggo]

Seems like largely game related changes/updates ?

 

[gbean02]

Another denial of my dream of Steam, or Photoshop, or Fruity Loops, or a dozen other programs working in HydraGrid. What a worthless feature.

Drivers were installed without a hitch two days ago. everything's been running fine as it was prior to the new driver.

I'm always skeptical about using preview drivers, so will wait until their testing process is complete and they release them at the end of February.

ahhh the efintity options are nice, more balancing options now.

 

[ubercake]

Hooray! They finally fixed the issue with texture flickering in BFBC2 in DX11 mode! How long has that game been out now??? I'm still looking forward to the Zork patch in the March 2012.

 

[memadmax]

The drivers are great, but now I've got a random hard shutdown issue while playing games...

 

[scrumworks]

Running perfectly here @HD5770.

 

[omega21xx]

I strangely only had texture flickering in BC2 when in crossfire on DX11 now problem solved

 

[syrious1]

performance loss on SWTOR crossfire 5850's was on 11.1 previously with no issues. It's like I went back to one card again.

 

[littleleo]

Any update on Crossfire drivers for the 7970?

"Dynamic Configuration Changes: Switching between different display configurations will occur automatically when physically plugging/un-plugging displays"

It’s been doing this for years and I want it to STOP! I do not want my windows all mess up because I turn a monitor on or off. I have my PC hooked up to a TV and when I turn it on it randomly changes my screen res to match. Sometimes when I set it to match the TV first it will set it to my normal profile that is not even compatible. I just want to go back to the good old days when I could turn off my monitor and not have my windows and desktop get all moved around. Were talkin’ Night Court (Fifth season) LAME!

What is up with the hide message, thumbs down but no rebuttal? Tomshardware trolls or AMD engineers are trolling hard.

Dynamic Configuration Changes: Switching between different display configurations will occur automatically when physically plugging/un-plugging displays

sweet. i've been wondering when they put this sort of functionality in. I have a large array of different and identical screens that i switch between depending if i'm coding or gaming.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Seems like it fixed quite a few issues.

 

[alikum]

Seems like they're pouring more money into the driver team. Good for them.

 

[win7guru]

To fausto412: Couldn't you just roll back the driver or uninstall it if it was giving you problems?

I hope so. They need to big time.
