I am probably missing something, but
1) where is BETA 1?
2) where is 13.2 BETA 8?

What in the hell is AMD doing with all this?

1) I presume BETA 1 was that leaked 13.3 driver (15 February)
2) There was no 13.2 BETA 8, since the last 13.2 was BETA 7.

Beta 1 might of been some internal thing inside AMD (neither publicly released or leaked)

Did 13.2 need a beta 8? A better question might be, where is 13.2 WHQL?

Regardless, I can't say I care, a newer driver is a newer driver :p

Mechwarrior Online is performing worse with 13.3 Beta 2. Rolling back to 13.2 Beta 7.

These drivers have a new low-level filter for the HD Audio Bus. Not sure if it gets installed or not, but the method for installing the Pci Bus driver also works fine (find the folder and manually install the inf).

Edit: CLBenchmark crashes on the first test now (it worked fine on 13.1 and 13.2)

Well, try to shift the perspective a little bit.
People are most likely to create threads to report problems, hence why most of the threads would be about errors and problems.
I'm not saying your statement about the AMD driver forum is wrong, but it's just the conclusion that's a bit skewed, because it's more or less the same story in Nvidia driver forum.

Anyway, 12.11 betas actually were unusable for me, because they'd BSOD Windows without fail every time Windows is starting to get into desktop.
So, for me, 13.2 betas and (maybe) this one (haven't tried it yet) are better than 12.11 betas.

custom game profiles not working for me. i used to set 4x supersampling for GTL/GTR2/RACE07, but now it's just like no aa at all. it worked well with previous drivers, now it only works if i adjust global profile. shame...

why were you expecting beta 8? did you see it announced somewhere? and yeah, I think "beta 1" was that 13.3 driver a few days ago, I might be wrong though.

downloading now

Love new drivers.

I dont see what others are complaining about. AMD have seriously improved A LOT on their drivers since the never settle drivers released in November.

Every driver since then have improved things one way or another for me. But lets face it, AMD can't test EVERY configuration before releasing a driver same goes for any computer company.

Look at the post in the Ati driver forum, most of them are about the crashing in games, BSOD, driver stop working when using the internet browser like Firefox or Chrome, IE10 etc... let hope this driver is really a beta & not alpha build because 12.11 was very stable.



Crying, what crying i'm saying like it is & you know it that i'm right. if there any issue people need to report it here because no one like a buggy driver that do more harm then good.

Yes, because if I got to the nvidia driver forum I hear nothing but praise right?

Get over yourself dude, most forums are filled with problems because those are the people who have something that needs fixing. On the other had, those who have no problems clearly just have time to troll, am I right?

Recording with Evolve in GW2 still causes driver restart and/or BSoD. Solution currently is to just toss a older driver dll in GW2's folder (13.1 works fine).

tombraider is still ****ed lol
even after the recent update + graphics card update, when i enable tressfx with crossfire enabled, my game freezes with sound loop, and it happens randomly most of the time when fmv`s apear lol, with tressfx off though its smooth sailing :/

also they still have not fixed hardware acceleration corruption, when viewing flash stuff or steam videos or websites with flash videos my screen completely corruption i managed to get rid of it by pressing ALT+F4 i tryed taking a screenshot
but all that appears in the screen shot is a perfectly uncorrupted desktop lol

i wish i never bought these 7 series cards, there nothing but problem after problem....think im going nvidia next....

to be perfectly honest i think its the displayout ports on 7 series cards that have the issues, i mean i have had hdmi audio out issues with these cards from day 1 and sometimes they work when i reboot other times there broken when i reboot or working but disabled lol

You have some serious stability issues or even a bad card. The HDMI audio is definitely a stick in the mud, but the other problems are either Firefox issues that and has no control of (as was stated by amd itself) and I have had no problems with any steam videos or flash.

Either driver install problem or something else you have on the system. Trust me, and drivers have their problems, but some things are user error.

Still getting the BSOD when deactivating the Generic_upnp monitor in device manager.

Don't ask why I do this. Its only a easy way to reproduce another problem uninstalling the driver do the BSOD) but the cause seem to be when the monitor get disabled / uninstall / detach.

Happens with a Asus G73JH-A1

These drivers make Photoshop CS6 crash (display driver error) in both 32 and 64-bit mode. Reverting back to 13.2 beta 7 fixes this problem.

Nope your wrong buddy, i'm not here to troll. it seems your piss about something & like to take it out on me, am i wrong? Nvidia sometimes has more problem then Ati but at least they fix there problems fast unlike Ati who take there sweet time. i wish they go back to the monthly drivers because these once in a while driver is not helping them at all, it's making it worst because it make people mad & change to Nvidia.

So Back to topic please.
