Won't make any difference, bet my left nut.

Anyway, ATi will be hot on the tail and have drivers for the same reason soon enough.

[pyro]

too far too various

[Growler]

11.9 is already out, been using it all week.

[=C=]

11.9 is already out, been using it all week.

What performance gains do you get in BF3 beta? Ohh wait. :P

[Growler]

infinte improvement to what I was getting from 11.8 ;)

http://downloads.guru3d.com/AMD-Catalyst-11.9-RCx-Win7-Vista-download-2783.html

[swindle]

Awesome.

I had such a bad time with 11.8 I went back to 11.7.

[Growler]

run 11.8 cap4 until .9 cap 1 comes out

[swindle]

Why?

11.8 was terrible.

[Speakman]

i don't have any issues at all with 11.8 cap 2

[swindle]

I got endless BSOD...

Going back to 11.7 allowed me to keep my OC and run crossfire.

[O-L-W-A-G]

11.7 was a POS for me

[Emrico1]

11.8 wouldn't even install for me...

[Spork]

I haven't had an issue with any of them, at least not for years.

[O-L-W-A-G]

The 5XXX seris had no problems after 10.2 hence why I went to crossfire two 5850s.

[SheepShagger556]

you lot sound like fucking geeks.

[Emrico1]

That's 'cause I am a geek

Installing 11.9 now

[.osiRiS]

11.8 gives me graphical glitches in game. Hopefully it's just a faulty beta and not my card ><

[O-L-W-A-G]

O do you mean artifacts? try disabling any OC

*hopes AMD does something in BF3 for 5 series users*


I haven't seen any performance improving drivers for games I play in a long time, therefore I'm still using 11.3 or something

[Zenith]

I do hope that Dice have given ATI and nVidia a good crack at the drivers on this prior to each release, although I did think that we had a standard to work to so it should all just work.....

[solman]

Don't have any AMD stuff... so as long as Nvidia gets their shit together I'll be happy

Although I am having an issue with the current Nvidia driver stopping working

[swindle]

11.9 are brilliant so far :)

[Growler]

cap 5, fixes CF issues and improves framerates, just uninstall any old cap, install restart.

you might also like this little app, lets you make very detailed profiles for games etc that will auto load on activation.

impossible

[solman]

impossible

whats impossible? that my Nvidia drive stops responding or that I don't have any AMD stuff....

[O-L-W-A-G]

The fact nVdia drivers crashed, was an overstatement created due to nVidia drivers having far less problems with the 5XX seris compared to AMDs 69XX
