HD 7970 - Drivers, CAPS, and Hotfixes

[AuxNuke]

For all of you that have installed your HD 7970:

1) Which driver are you using? The latest released on 1/9/12? http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/radeon-7900-series.aspx
2) Which version of the CAPS (if any) have you installed?
3) Have you installed any Catalyst hotfixes?

Thanks in advance.

Anyone have some experience here?

I'm running the release day driver and the latest CAP. No issues. No hotfixes installed.

I could not get the DL drivers to work at all. Blackscreen after reboot. I had to use the 11.12.1 on the CD. I did not uninstall the CAP's before installing. I did use driver cleaner. So I'm currently running the 11.12.1 with the latest 11.12 CAP1. BF3 just crashed so I might try uninstalling the CAP to see if it helps.

Right now, the web driver is the best possible scenario. Possible new drivers/cap coming soon with optimizations, the question is when at this point.

Yeah, I should have clarified I'm running the release day driver AMD posted on the web. I was running 11.12 before that and simply installed over them.

yeah just using the D/L ones from AMD, uninstalled old ones and CAP's - rebooted and loaded new driver -all worked great.
