AMD Catalyst? 13.8 beta2 Enduro Fix (integrated graphics optimization )

Here is an update to the new version.

Windows 8 Users: You will need to Disable Driver Signature Enforcement between installing the PX and Enduro fix Driver.

The TESTSIGNING boot configuration option is enabled or disabled through the BCDEdit command. To enable test-signing, use the following BCDEdit command:

Bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON

To disable test-signing, use the following BCDEdit command:

Bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING OFF

Note After you change the TESTSIGNING boot configuration option, restart the computer for the change to take effect.

To use BCDEdit, you must be a member of the Administrators group on the system and run the command from an elevated command prompt. To open an elevated Command Prompt window, create a desktop shortcut to Cmd.exe, right-click the Cmd.exe shortcut, and select Run as administrator.

FFXIV Benchmarked (13.8b2 Enduro Fix)

P150EM 3610QM,8GB,HD7970M

 

Thanks LeekM. Running great on my 7970M

I noticed since going to 13.8 that my AMD fan never spins all the way down like it used to, even when on Windows desktop and the Intel GPU has taken over. Every driver prior to 13.8 I couldn't hear that fan at all, now I always hear it running. Doesn't hurt anything I guess but it's mildly irritating and I wonder if the 7970 truly goes into zero load.

 

The problem is that the motherboard EC controller.

Must be resolved by modifying the registry.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0001] or [*****\0000]

"EnableUlps"=dword:00000001 ====>>>> dword:00000000

and reboot

 

That's better. Thanks.

 

I thought that that the problem was the BIOS. I solve it by opening a program which uses the ATI-card, and then close it again.

 

I performed the registry fix but now, sitting in windows, the 7970M fan will cycle up and down. It never gets as high before the fix so I do think it's better but honestly, the cycling is a little annoying. I just want the fan to shut down completely when not in use.

 

In order to solve it.......


Manufacturer's modified firmware is required. (BIOS&EC)

 

if only i could dirty install... *sigh

i'll be trying this later when i have more time, thanks.

 

I always try these modified drivers but they never work for me. This one failed to install amd display driver

Just out of curiousity, does your fix affect WoW and SC2? Specially WoW still throttles for me although it's easy to change from DX9 to DX11 in the settings. Didn't make a difference.

 

WoW runs beautifully for me (60fps, everything maxed, 1080p, smooth) with this driver in DX11 but, then again, it's always ran well on my 7970M regardless of driver.

 

SR4 test (13.8b2 Fix Driver)

 

Damn I wish I could get those gpu temperatures as you, mine reaches 80-85 on 90%+ utilisation

Anyway, SR4 runs nicely I can see!

 

Please re-applied thermal compound. (and copper cooling upgrade)

 

@LeeKM
can you tell me what that for "integrated graphics optimizations" are? If not, maybe you can tell me what your goal is by distributing placebo drivers.

 

I was just wondering if you knew something I didn't. What made you come to the conclusion that his drivers were placebo?

 

Exactly, you don't know anything. Me neither by the way. That's why I'm asking LeeKM. He should be able to explain what the "secret integrated graphics optimizations" are. If not, everybody can think whatever he wants. xD

 

AMD set the PX is a very neglected. ( PX = PowerXpress = Enduro )

You need to understand muxless system. ( muxless = Always use the IGD graphics )

 

Fair enough. I thought you saw something I missed. Regardless, I try to avoid modded drivers since I don't play highly-demanding 3D games anyway. But recently I've been messing around with LeeKM's modded drivers out of boredom. Unfortunately, since I don't play very demanding games, I find the performance to be about the same. Haha. At least my boredom was fulfilled? Lol. I'll try these drivers in a few since I have only been testing out the 13.8 beta 2 official since it was posted.

 

I have a quick question. I installed the original beta 2 drivers without any real modification (except one change to fix a dimmed screen issue) But, I am suffering from the same fan issue. Will the fix mentioned above work for mine or will I need these modified drivers?
