I'll be testing this one out. Kamsa hamnida.

 

W7 64bit here

I downloaded the Intel file and tried installing it but it hangs at "Detecting Graphics Hardware"

I am just simply trying to install over my ATI Drivers.

Edit:
Reboot made it work

 

Got it working. 6648 score is at stock speeds. Will try games later.


Ignore attached thumbnail. Was getting those errors from installing incorrect intel drivers.

 

Downloading this and will test with bf4 directly!

Nicely done LeeKM ! Your driver works fine for me and I can see a performance improvement in comparison with the driver 13.10 beta 2 in BF4 beta. About 3-8 fps depending on the gameplay scene

 

Thanks for the updated drivers! Unfortunately I ran into an issue when attempting to install this driver on my laptop. I currently have 13.8b2 w/ Enduro Fix installed and that installation went flawlessly with no issues. I attempted to upgrade to this new driver today, but after installation I was getting errors that catalyst control center could not be opened, that the drivers were either incompatible with my system or that they were damaged...and the drivers in device manager for both the 7970 and the intel HD 4000 showed errors.

I'm not the most knowledgeable when it comes to updating/working with drivers so I'm hoping the issue here is something simple that I'm just overlooking. Does anyone have any ideas as to what may have gone wrong?

Drivers prior to 13.10b2 w/ Enduro Fix
7970M - 13.8b2 W/ Enduro Fix
Intel HD 4000 - 8.951.6.0

Thanks in advance! Appreciate it!

Update:
I attempted to uninstall the 13.8b2 drivers and install the 13.10b2 drivers from AMD (not the Leekm version). This time not only did I end up with the same errors as above, but upon restarting I was left with a black screen.

 

I really like your work but i'm sorry to say :
those screenshot aren't useful.

 

indeed those arent useful, I'm playing on these settings to get lag free gaming even on 64 man public(the fps does drop to 35 or so sometimes when in a very open area, but if you don't put the fps meter on, you don't really notice it, this is just because the game is still unoptimised(check bf4 forums, even sli gtx780 desktop users are getting these low fps drops):



my gpu usage is around 65%, cpu 70%

Fps anywhere between 40 and 70, overall smooth experience and that's what multiplayer is about, not about ultra settings

 

I want to thank you LeeKM from the bottom of my heart thank you for your driver update.... LeeKM 13.10b works to my intel HD 3000 + AMD Radeon HD 6470M flawlessly with No!!! problem and no BSOD... I just clean uninstall using Driver Fusion and enable driver cert.... now my Drivers are up to date thank you so much to you and more Power!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

 

Now we're seeing puppet accounts, great.

 

BF4 Open beta Second test (1920*1080, Ultra)

 

I'm happy to see such nice meaningless screenshots in this serious thread, too. One more reason to try the modded inf...NOT.

 

Could anyone comment on how this affects Minecraft utilization?

Thanks

 

Anybody know why catalyst qualifies firefox in high performance??? the setting is locked in power saving in the power management tab but it still uses the GPU.

 

i think that is for make it sure that firefox will be compatible with CCC

 

that is my observation also in other game the fps increased also your update is good... I tried other mod driver like Lesh but your LeeKM works perfect to me

 

Hi! Lee can this driver work with 8850m in dell inspiron 3537 ???

 

Previous versions of the driver and the stock 13.10 beta 2 didn't have this issue.

Dude this driver doesn't work, save yourself the trouble. The official drivers work fine.

I don't want to be incessant but since it's someone actually releasing modified software for us all to download, shouldn't some admin step in at some point and see what this is about? I understand that any drivers here are "As is" and we carry full responsibility for trying them, but still, thread after thread of meaningless screencaps and unreproducible results. Every now and then someone comes and says: "Yeah I think after trying several combinations of Intel/AMD drivers and tweaks including yours, I think I saw a couple of fps rise at some point". Not good enough to merit repeated threads about it, at least limit it to one thread so people don't get under the impression that this guy's mods are working by consensus.

P.S: Notice how the puppet account speaks English with the same errors as LeekM

 

His driver seems fine to me. Fixes certain known underutilized games. Stock speed CPU and GPU. Still benchmarks okay too.

 

LeekM's drivers have been working for me. I don't have the underutilization issues I was having before in games like Diablo 3. Maybe you aren't doing a clean unistall with driver fusion or equivelent along with the right intel drivers. Regardless, I would suggest you stop trolling his threads and wasting your time since you always seem to have a problem.

 

I agree. Most likely, you aren't doing the proper clean install for it to work. It is obvious the before and after fps changes for games like Diablo 3. You can easily see it yourself. I even posted a screenshot in another thread showing my utilization clearly not being capped at 70ish fps with the "official drivers". It shot up to like 160 with the LeeKM ones.

Install it properly, and check it yourself. If you don't like it, then don't use it. No need to waste time trolling other peoples work. It obviously works for other people, and it seems like some just wants to be a crybaby about it not working for themselves. You act like everyone is wasting their time photoshopping their performance screenshots or something. We just care about playing the game as smoothly as possible without microstutter, having better GPU utilization, or better general performance. And do you really think that everyone with non-perfect english is the same person? Seriously, get a life lol.

No one is forcing you to use his driver, you can just ignore it if you want. But, in the off chance that it starts working for you and boosting your performance from 70fps to 160fps like me on Diablo 3, then you should probably post an official apology.

 

/facepalm everybody is out to rectify others' "attitudes".

For starters, as far as I've seen no one else apart from LeekM has posted any proof of improvements. You say you have, I might've missed it. Still, if you ask the vast majority of those who tried it, in addition to the more expert oldtimers on the forum, they all range from ignoring it to being dubious about it.

If you say you have experienced differently, then by all means prove it so we can all benefit. For the record, the official drivers work fine for all the games I play, and WoW seems to suffer fps dips even on flagship Nvidia desktop cards, has to do with game coding.

Also, I'm apologizing to no one, I'm critiquing his work which is what the forums are for. It even instigated you to respond and try and demonstrate differently. In any case LeekM has lied about his WoW performance in another thread by posting some 240p vid on youtube playing smoothly implying he has "solved" WoW's erratic fps (which unbeknownst to him, has to do with the game's graphics engine, not Enduro). And accounts made yesterday making a single post praising LeekM's awesomeness, after a few people started indicating that no tangible results have been demonstrated, is a little suspicious.

Oh I'm sorry am I ruining your cyber "zen"? I'm generating discussion. You're whining about a cyber person's online "attitude".

 

I did a full uninstall, clean, and reinstall with these drivers and did not see any utilization improvement in BF4. I didn't get a chance to try BF3 yet.

 

I dont think a magical driver is gonna fix utilzation for all games. If some games are already optimized, then I assume that everything would be the same. But for some games like Diablo 3, I am not going to just revert back to the official drivers and handicap myself back to 70fps and microstutter when I could just use a different driver.

http://forum.notebookreview.com/sag...powerxpress-enduro-fix-drivers-13-10b-11.html

Check the screenshot that I posted here, clearly showing that I have more than the 70ish fps on Diablo 3. and on all high settings and STOCK clock speeds might I add. Until AMD starts fixing their issues for the GAMES THAT I PLAY then I will keep using modded drivers for workarounds. Maybe it doesnt work for your games, but guess what, it works for me. You said to prove it, so there you go. You can check this screenshot and suck on it. Stop trolling, and just use the official drivers then. If it doesnt work for you, that's too bad isn't it? I didn't try WoW because I dont have a subscription active anymore. But, I'm not exactly going to reactivate and download the client just to test the fps on it if I don't plan to play it long.

Why dont you try playing diablo 3 on the stock drivers, and then clean install with his driver and tell me you didnt see the 70 fps to 150fps change? I'm not talking about other games here. Cause its quite confirmed that it works for AT LEAST this game. Try the same game, with the same drivers, and then tell me it doesnt work. Cause on my computer, it works fine with now buddy. Double the fps FOR FREE. You wanna just go around trying "other games" and telling me that doesnt work. Well dude, I'm not always testing the same games you are. To be fair, dont you think u should be testing the same games?

And on a final note. If the official drivers work best for you for the games that you play, then by all means use it. It could be possible that this driver is less efficient for a different set of games, I really don't know. But, at the end of the day, we would be using whatever driver that fits us best. And we all know, that is not always the latest official driver.

 

You seem to be new to this whole Internet thing and take discussions to heart, not very wise. Had it not been for a strong adminship I'd have endless fun putting you in your place. But moving on:-

On page 6 of the thread you cited, there's a screenshot by yourself that doesn't show settings or resolution in Diablo 3, showing 99% GPU utilization, which could be real or artificial due to enabling ULPS ( as you have done according to LeekM's advice on the previous page, and complained the fps didn't change at all, just the GPU util which bugged to 99% all the time). It doesn't show a screenshot of the same scene/settings with stock drivers. Moreso, LeekM really just failed to give you any useful advice throughout the thread to address any of your issues, and repeatedly asked people to use Fusion or just posted charts that explain the Enduro issue that we all know, am I wrong? So thus far, you have proven nothing.

Nevertheless ( Focus this is important) like I said earlier, I fully allow for one or two people who "think" they got results, I even allow for one or two people who might've actually benefited in a game or two, but that hasn't been demonstrated yet, that's all I'm saying. I actually want those drivers to work, but I'm not going to buy games I don't play (I've tested those with issues like SC2, LoL, Dota2 and more, to no tangible result different from stock) so I can do the leg work on behalf of people claiming the drivers work.

On a side note you reported that you used to get a 5600 score on 3DMark11 on stock drivers, which almost certainly means you just didn't know how to configure your computer properly, since everyone who was able to get the 7970M to work was able to get more than 6300 score from all the threads we've seen. I wouldn't discount one or two extremely unlikely cases, but it weakens your case even more to say you had that score no one else with your card had ever saw, then claim LeekM's drivers helped you. Perhaps your initial setup was so bad you just couldn't get the computer to function as intended. Happens.

The rest of what you said doesn't merit response. I tried to use text editing for simplification in case you missed my points earlier.

This is the screenshot for others to examine your silver bullet. No pun intended.

Okay well, when I installed the previous 13.10 driver, i was stuck at 70ish fps. So, are you telling me you want me to install the old driver to show the terrible utilization? Then screenshot the settings, and then show the screenshot I have there with the newer driver to show the 70ish fps to the 150fps? Would that be sufficient evidence?

Unfortunately, its hard to screenshot the game settings at the same time and the in game fps together. The reason for this is because when the menu UI is open that shows all the high settings, the fps drops horribly because of the menu overlay. If you dont believe me, try it out yourself for D3 and LoL. Check your fps while in game (without the menu), and then with the menu overlay on top. It's NOT consistent with the in game fps. You could get 200fps in the the start of summoner's rift, but if you hit ESC, and the menu is up, then the fps drops hardcore. (EDIT: LoL changed its menu interface with the new patch so it doesn't lag anymore)

And for your information, yes, 5600 WAS the score for when I first bought the laptop with no modifications whatsoever. Right now, I get 6900. I don't think either of us would disagree that the improvement of drivers over time has contributed greatly to our performance boosts. You have said that you tested with several games like SC2 and LoL which are games I also play. But what about D3? D3 is the game that I saw the MOST improvement. If you are failing to test the game that shows the most improvement, of course you would be so doubtful.

Anyways, check this link to see my 6900 3dmark11 Score as proof of my current score. I tested it right after 13.11 beta was released and posted it immediately.
http://forum.notebookreview.com/sag...ess-enduro-modified-drivers-13-11beta-v1.html

And for the love of god, test Diablo 3 and confirm that it doesn't give you a boost. I'm telling you right now that D3 is the BIGGEST change you will ever see. If I showed you any other game with only like 10 fps change or 15 fps change, you would just come back and say there wasn't a big enough change, and it could just be within margin of error. But, no one would consider 70ish to 150ish RNG. Or can anyone else on the forum post their D3 fps on Tristam when its on high settings and state if they are using the modified drivers or not?

To be honest, any screenshot that I post here, you would continue to be skeptical. You could just make an argument that I took it in separate situations, at different times, with different hardware, with different settings, with different drivers, and so on. I'm trying to convince you that the modified driver DOES work. Being doubtful is one thing, but if you are going to be so stubborn to not even test D3 to see the obvious change, I don't know how else to convince you. The only way you would believe it, is if you SAW IT YOURSELF. So just run D3 with and without the modded driver and look at the fps. If you don't have the game, borrow it from someone or something.

If you don't want to, continue to doubt then. The driver isn't for you obviously. Some people just want to tell people about how they can squeeze more performance out of their systems, but people like you are being too stubborn.

Post me your screenshots for Diablo 3 on all high settings, for the official drivers, and the modified drivers, and then well talk more. My screenshots are at the top of this post, as you can see, the instant I put the menu up for the settings, the FPS drops hardcore. (167 fps -> 126fps) But the in-game fps of 167 is what really matters. If you want to doubt, you can accuse me of phootshopping or something.

 

Just realized I was using an outdated version of the intel driver so I'm going to download, uninstall both drivers, do a cleaning for both, then reinstall to see if I see any improvements.

 

@phlawless
I ran the 3dmark11 benchmark with original amd 13.10b2 drivers and got a result at around 6500 Points ( AMD Radeon HD 7970M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-3632QM,CLEVO P150EM). The result is a bit lower than yours but my cpu is also a bit slower than yours. So, there doesn't seem to be any improvement affected by the driver "fix". I know, it's only a synthetical test and LeeKM said by his own, that the driver "fix" only affect dx9 games. Can you do me a favour and test one special dx9 game for me with LeeKM's inf mod?

PS: I ran the complete basic 3dmark test on default settings and a 1280x720 resolution (important! info)

 

When I used 13.10beta2, my 3dmark score was only 6700, so I did gain a 200 points bonus. But, synthetic benchmarks aren't even anything important, we should be concerned about in-game performance. When I use LeeKM's driver, the biggest change I saw was on diablo 3 because it wasnt like a 5 or 10 fps change. This was something super huge that was like DOUBLE the fps. For some reason with official drivers my computer just hovers at like 70ish FPS. But when I use his drivers, it shoots up to like 150+. I later found out that D3 was indeed a dx9 game still.

I wouldn't care so much about the benchmark numbers. Even with the older driver, I only got like 6500, but my performance in D3 was more or less the same as long as I used his version of the driver.

Which game did you want tested? If it is a game that I have, I will run it and screenshot it for you. Just tell me what resolution and quality settings you want, and I will try to screenshot it for you if I have the game.

 

While I havent seen any improvements in gaming performance for whatever reason, including utilization. I did manage to pick up some increased stability in overclocking and managed my best 3dmark11 score to date of 7198. Also found out my 7970m is running at 0.975 v max. (thought I read in a few places its supposed to be 1.05??) 950/1450 were the clocks that got me to the 7198. I'm sure I could have increased a couple mhz here and there and broke 7200 but I had already flogged my rig enough for today. lol Just wanted a baseline to compare to once I find a vbios I can confirm works in the 150em and flash some more power into this beast.

 

Need for Speed Shift2 Unleashed with max Details on a 1920x1080 resolution. If you have this game and you can test it, we should negotiate the track, time of the day and number of cars.

 

I don't have that game. I'm not really a racer kind of guy. Also, you should confirm that that is a dx9 game if you are hoping for improved performance.

 

No, it's a DirectX 3.0 game. xD

 

Using the official beta 13.10b2 I could check my usage with MSI Afterburner. Now, I always see 99% - bad reading. How can i fix this?

Another issue is this:

I have no options to choose from. What happened ?

 

You need to uninstall amd drivers with driver fusion or something and then reinstall them. And after that you can disable ulps to get a real gpu usage.

 

I followed this guide as I think Driver Fusion does some unwanted damage - how to properly uninstall ATI/AMD Software Drivers for Graphics Cards.
How can I disable ULPS, please?

 

Launch regedit from the "run" command, then search for ulps. You will find 2 register adresses where you have to change the value from 1 to 0

 

Just to let you know that guide is over 2 years old. Driver Sweeper did do unwanted damage back then but Driver Fusion Premium has been great. I used to avoid these driver cleaners, too, up until I had no other choice but to try Driver Fusion Premium. I find that it's the only way for me to switch back and forth between official and modded drivers without any issues and actually seeing a difference.

In order to enable ULPS, search in your registry for "EnableULPS" without the quotes (""), then press F3 to search for the next one. Change the values from 1 to 0, but don't change the EnableULPS_NA. Leave that one alone. Try searching these forums where there are screenshots. It's been covered many times.

 

You can check it was last edited on 7/4/2013 though

My only concern using Driver Fusion is that some weeks ago I noticed that no matter what driver I would install, and cleaning everything correctly, The only way to solve the issue was to format. I would get only about 20% usage on BF3. With these drivers, i'm back on 70/80%.

I am still getting drops on big maps, in some locations (drops to 35, 40), and I don't know what else to do when someone says they're getting 99% usage using this driver.

Sorry that I asked. I did search for it after asking and found out. What exactly does it do, though? It doesn't let the AMD turn off completely when not in use, but what else? Cheers.

Oh, and I still don't have the drop-down menus to choose from this image: http://forum.notebookreview.com/att...-13-10b2-f0c20c7dc121d2347b5d6b772d83073c.png

I do have the GPU Usage working, though. Thanks
