    hi does anyone have a link to them? when i go on the site and download them. it opens the auto check thing. and downloads it. but then when i run the installer it doesnt do anything. also the downloaded file is only 13 mb. also amd site doesnt have the notebook drivers on their own. i am on 13.11 at the moment.

    You can use the drivers from the guru3d forum.
    AMD Catalyst 13.12 Mobility WHQL SG Fix Driver (intel & APU) - Guru3D.com Forums

    thanks for the link. i totally forgot i had made this thread lol.

    are these the newest drivers that we can use? AMD Catalyst 13.30 BETA (13.300.0.0 RC3 January 8) - Guru3D.com Forums

    reason i ask is because if i goto to amd website and select drivers for radeon series 5800 etc. when the next page opens there is no downloads. and in optional only hydra is there. also using the auto check tool does nothing.

    just want to install latest driver and wont have to worry for next couple of months.

    The 14.1 ones are nice, as I can do a stable 800/1100 OC. Some of the recent releases weren't stable with my unit at those clocks and I had to play with them.

    Don't forget to reboot after you install the 14.1 series. They can produce weird errors if you don't reboot.

    Cheer for the frequency tip. Trying 800/1100 in my overdrive with 14.1 and no crashes so far. Used to use 805/1000, so wouldn't have gone back to even frequencies!

    Hi everybody.

    Did anyone try the 14.2 Beta drivers?, I´m about to swith to an SSD (Samsung 840 Evo), and a fresh windows 7 install (which scares me a little bit because of driver installation...).

    I tried them on my desktop, and they didn't work very well at all. You may have different luck though as the GPU is obviously not the same.
