My screen gets messed up when I scroll... Anyone else?
When installing these new drivers idle clock speeds are not working properly. What used to be idle clocks of 300/150 is now 500/1375 or lower depending on your card resulting in higher temps and a louder fan usage.
A fix has been discovered that will allow you to use the new drivers and also still benefit from having lower clocks until AMD release a hotfix driver.
First install the drivers+caps.
Once that is done start up CCC, go to overdrive and apply 300 core and 150 memory clocks.
After this go to preset, add preset, name the preset idle, put the tooltip as 2dclocks, under location leave all items ticked, then assign a hotkey. I used F5. Click save.
After that go to preferences in the top right of CCC, then hotkeys. Click idle and go to edit. In with Hotkey press F5, Click ok.
Now whenever you quickly need to apply idle clocks, just press Alt+F5 twice.
I use this after ive finished playing games and running my overclocks using afterburner in order to get the cards to clock down properly.
This also corrects the voltage being too high.
Amazing the drivers get through WHQL with shit like this... WTF is the point of the certification if they don't even check base things?
WHQL does not care if the card downclocks during idle or any other fancy features.
WHQL's only concern is that the drivers will not screw up your computer. (BSOD's, etc)
This is a basic feature that affects *all* users though.
My 7950 also appears to be stuck in a "non-idle" state. GPU clock is at 500MHz and Memory is at 1250. I did have a mild OC to 1000/1350 but I've since disabled it and it still won't idle.
Was running 12.10 and now at 12.11 with the same issue.
new 12.11 beta 6 is up.
idle clocks fix and optimization for coming BO2
My monitor wont come back from standby with these drivers, I have to turn it off and back again for the screen to work. Anyone else have this problem?
Am I the only one who gets bluescreens caused by atikmpag.sys ever single damn time I upgrade AMD's drivers? The last 4 or 5 times I've upgraded drivers my computer bluescreens due some ati file.
Today, uninstalled 12.9 and get the bluescreen. Now 12.10 is installed and catalyst control center won't open.
Ugh...I'm really getting tired of AMD's shitty drivers... Every single time I upgrade them it's a freaking chore of trial and error until they stop f'ing up my system.
This Win7 installation is only a few months old and the 12.9 drivers I was running were the only ones I had installed up to this point.
I installed the 12.11 beta drivers over the seemingly-failed 12.10 drivers and I seem to back up and running.
Whatever, my next card I'll be going back to nVidia. They aren't perfect either but I have never had issues with their drivers like I have with AMDs...
sounds like you mad. Clean install download newest drivers from website install. Its really not that hard.
I don't understand these people who report all these driver issues. My windows install is over 2 years old. Went from 6870 crossfire, to 7870 crossfire, to a single 7950 and soon to 7950 crossfire. I didn't even uninstall the drivers. Put in new cards booted up, re-installed newest drivers from AMD for that card generation. I have only had one issue, which happened when i first installed the 12.11 betas and it was the 2d clock rate. Installed the new 12.11 beta 6 drivers issue resolved. Everything has always just worked for me with the small exception of the first 12.11 beta drivers. (wasn't even a real issue, just a minor annoyance)
Btw the 12.11 beta 6 drivers are awesome.
