AMD "Huge" Catalyst 10.12 is out today

According to many websites the new catalyst 10.12 which will be the first of CCC2 drivers is scheduled to be released today ..... more info on:

PC Perspective - AMD Catalyst Control Center Update: Catalyst 10.12 Preview

EDIT: Links to the drivers (not the ones with new CCC2)

Mobile Vista/7 64bit
Mobile Vista/7 32bit

EDIT2: same driver (which improves CoD - Black ops so far and eliminates micro stuttering with the new CCC2 will be up soon)

 

I would wait for reviews etc.

So far if the betas or the 8.80 were any indiciation, it's just a new UI. No added benefits or anything that AMD users wanted like more options to customize in the settings. And also the new UI in the above are even slower the the old version.

So I would wait and find out if they suck as much as I think they may.

 

So it's not the final 10.12? Meh, I'll wait for the final drivers, I'm not having any issues with 10.10 currently.

 

Just a UI upgrade it seems. May be a "HUGE" spin on something that is but "HUGELY" mediocre. I'm going to pass..."HUGELY" .

 

I'm keeping an eye on this, though I know an HP version will be a month or two late. They still haven't released 10.11. :/

 

I've been following these drivers and as someone else eluded too it's basically a UI update that is slower than the previous one.

The only thing I want out of these drivers is full support of the 6870 card and just the drivers for me. I'll slap RadeonPro which does more and uses very little resources than CCC which is a bloated .NET utility that is nothing more than advertisement for ATI/AMD.

lol you just beat me to it!

 

I always like to upgrade my drivers every even numbered release, so this is a nice notice and something to look forward to.

 

Is it gonna enable MLAA for HD 5xxx cards?

 

Update the opening post with links.

They are out.

Mobile Vista/7 64bit
Mobile Vista/7 32bit

 

Still waiting for the Desktop drivers.

 

Wish i could grab them, i always need the ones that not only will install on my Toshiba but now the ones that have MLAA enabled as well. = (

 

is it just me or these don't pack the new command center

 

With notebooks, more often than not, the mfg updates are better optimized than AMD's generic releases. If this release brings in performance improvements, I'll upgrade right away. I sure as hell won't for a new GUI. That is my 'HUGE' decision and I am HUGELY sticking to it.

 

Any word on when the desktop drivers will be released??

 

Desktop Drivers:

AMD Catalyst 10.12 Win 7 | Vista (64-bit) download from Guru3D.com

AMD Catalyst 10.12 Win 7 | Vista (32-bit) download from Guru3D.com


These are the old CCC btw but new drivers

 

Thanks

I'm waiting for the drivers only version though.

 

ATI Radeon? Video Card Drivers

The new drivers & the new CCC2 but I have no idea if they work for mobility or not because I didn't update from games.amd before

 

These are desktop ones.

These ones are Mobility Display Driver

 

Man their website IS getting HAMMERED right now.

nvm: I'm in

 

Just download both.

Use the CCC from the new desktop with the laptop drivers.

 

can't instal the new CCC

 

did you try them and can confirm that they have the new CCC2 ???

 

They don't. Only the desktop preview have them. Read the description, it's called a preview, optional for those who want to test them.

 

then I will download the driver from your links and the CCC from the desktop preview ones thanks m8

 

So are there 2 CCC's included within the package?

 

Anyone use Steam to update yet?

 

Don't use Steam. It goes against all common laws of upgrading drivers.

exactly how i feel

 

Did anyone manage to get the new CCC2 to work on a mobility radeon I tried everything I know but no idea why they don't show up in the components that can be installed

 

It's just a new UI, nothing added. It's a HUGE disappointment.

 

How did u manage to install it ?

 

It doesn't work properly. Same old UI as before and without the 3D live preview. The new CCC is not installing.

 

I think ATI or AMD or whatever scam they are forgot as always that they actually make mobile GPUs

 

Anyways.. I might install 10.12 mobility only as a quick preview today on my dv6 once I finished my backup since I'm planning a wipe this week.
Guess the New UI is finally re-branded...

 

after too much hustle I managed to install the worthless new GUI .... useless I really can't see what is so huge so far

 

The only significant change I've seen so far is that UVD actually works.

Ever since AMD enabled DXVA 2.0, it has failed for 480p even though Nvidia had 480p supported for a while. It's not a big deal since 480p only takes about 1% of i7 CPU. But it's still a glaring failure.

I've noticed that DXVA 2.0 now works with 480p and it seems overall, 2D is snappier for me.

So that's the one good thing so far.

 

The H Y P E

Once I discovered RadeonPro CCC became irrelevant.

 

Looks like the overclocking tool use put inside the CCC now, I dont have to keep the amd clock tool open to keep an average temp and highest temp reading on, I can just check that im assuming

 

OverDrive has to be unlocked in your vBios and only Alienware/MSI I know of by default has that. Everyone else has to mod theirs.

 

Amd clock tool it stays then , less effort on my part.

 

I would like to try this new useless GUI. So could you kindly explain how you managed to install it on your mobility?

 

My Cinebench 11.5 OpenGL frame rate score went from 8.46 to 8.51 fps

 

They fixed the playing of 480p H.264 content. I am so happy, as it was aggravating me enough to contemplate switching back to the Green Team.

 

All the Steam "update" function does is open your web browser to AMD's driver page where you download and install them like you normally would. Nothing wrong with that.

 

So the link int he first post is missing something?
