Official AMD Catalyst 13.4 WHQL Drivers

i just spotted this new drivers!anyone tried this one yet??

AMD Catalyst 13.4 (12.104.0.0 March 28) download WHQL

 

Those that post it, load it

I myself will wait for it to show up on AMD's website with release notes, thanks for the heads up though.

 

I feel like trying these drivers but I wait.....
But not longer then a day ^^

 

Downloading it now, cant wait

 

I wanted to try this drivers but the 7970M is not supported

 

Contrary to what the Guru3D page reports, these drivers do not support many of the mobility 6000 and 7000 GPUs.

 

Thanks, gonna try it soon as i get home.

 

There is a link on the page for the mobility 13.5 beta 2 drivers too.

AMD Catalyst 13.5 B2 (12.102.3.0 April 16) - Guru3D.com Forums

 

Hello

This is not the mobile version driver.

For mobile version whql 13.4 go to AMD Catalyst 13.4 WHQL Download

 

For mobile... just get it from AMD...

http://www2.ati.com/DriverS/mobile/13-4_mobility_vista_win7_win8_64_dd_ccc_whql.exe

Which is just WHQL of 13.3 beta.

Get the 13.5 beta 2 if you want something newer than 13.3

Feature Highlights of the AMD Catalyst™ 13.5 Beta Driver for Windows®

Performance gains seen on the entire AMD Radeon™ HD 7000 Series for the following:

Far Cry 3: Improves performance up to 4% with Anti-Aliasing enabled
Shogun II: Improves performance up to 20% with 8x Anti-Aliasing enabled
Tomb Raider: Improves performance up to 6%
Bioshock: Improves performance up to 6%
Borderlands 2: Improves performance up to 17%
Corruption is no longer seen on the AMD Radeon HD 7790 when TressFX is enabled in Tomb Raider

 

AMD has removed the OpenCL from the driver packages, both WHQL and Beta for some reason.

 

13.4 works fine here.
13.5beta2 works also fine, only my BENQ display doesnt display anything so i needed to go back 2 the 13.4 driver, what ain't bad I think either =).

 

13.2 b7 => 13.4

I have a slight boost with 3dm11 ( ~50 points ), +2 fps on bioshock ultra bench, and about -1 fps decrase on tomb raider. I'll bench 13.5 tomorrow.

 

Someone else noticed that 13.4 is more complete than 13.5, 13.5 seems to be an older branch that someone added some tweaks for CFX and then packaged it as new. I went with 13.4.

Probably means that there will be another 13.5 beta soon to fix the above.

 

Installed 13.4 after running driver sweeper and for me, brightness is still broken on win8 pro.

 

13.4 => 13.5
3dm11 same stuff ( +/- 10 points ), bioshock same stuff ( +2 fps over 13.2 b7 ), tomb raider +1.5 fps ( meaning +0.5 fps over 13.2 b7 ).

 

Installed 13.5 Beta 2 from 13.2 Beta 7. Ran 3Dmark 11, down 12 points (negligible) No improvements in-game either. In fact, the latency and fps seem to vary more than 13.2 did. Considering trying 13.4, although my computer is working perfectly so I'm not sure there's really a reason to try 13.4 yet.


EDIT: Windows driver rollback feature FTW!

Rolled back to 13.2b7 then installed 13.4. The FPS and frame latency seem more stable than 13.2b7 and 13.5b2, although the 3DMark scores have not changed.

I play a game called Smite which has an in game FPS and frame latency graph. 13.4 stays in the 70-90FPS range with 10-14ms frame latency most often, with occasional but rare spikes down to 60FPS and 16ms frame latency. Drivers 13.2b7 and 13.5b2 tend to hover between 60-80FPS most often and a more sporadic frame latency between 9-16ms.

The average minimum frame rate is apparently quite a bit better for my game personally and latency seems to stay a bit tighter overall.

Sitting on 13.4 for now!

 

what exactly is latency m8 and ohw i can monitor it?thx!

 

This is sort of a general idea of what is/was going on:

AMD Promises to Fix Graphics Card Latency with New Driver - Softpedia


This explains the in-game frame latency thing pretty well:

Does the Radeon HD 7950 stumble in Windows 8? - The Tech Report - Page 1


Some games have a graph that shows frame latency, or how many milliseconds each frame takes to render. This is what I was talking about for benchmark comparisons. Its not the same thing as video latency. I was using the wrong term. The 13.4 driver for me personally has the most consistent frame rates.

 

Seems the best deal for Enduro is to use the 13.5 Beta 2, with 13.4 CAP1. AMD's solution to Enduro seems to be the same thing as CFX, creating game profiles specifically for Enduro... Yay...

 

I'm just glad they're trying to fix stuff... and succeeding, alebeit a little tediously. I have a very stable build maybe not %100, but still great. I'm content. I'm accustomed to companies leaving things broken and saying "deal with it"

 

You can monitor frame latency in-game using MSI Afterburner.

 

I am running Catalyst 13.2. Worth moving up to this one? Playing FC3 a little at the moment.

 

I'm on 13.5 Beta 2 and everything seems stable. FC3 runs very nicely admittedly I'm using SSAO and FXAA instead of HDAO. 4x MSAA causes a significant drop in fps for me.
7970m on stock though.

 

Installed 13.4 over Dell's M17x official drivers after a clean install. Windows installed Intel drivers (pic) and I installed Dell's Intel drivers. When I switch graphics to Intel I have to go to device manager and click enable the 6970m card for it to work. In Catalyst Control Center it is not possilbe to switch back to the 6970m. It also seams that the Intel and the 6970m are considered different displays (pic). And for me to use the 6970m I have to "conect only projector". When I want to use the Intel gpu I have to "disconect projector". Has anyone idea of what is happening?
