Same Mobility HD 5650 issues that plague everyone else it seems...
Driver won't install... same with the 12.8 mobility version - but i managed to force-install them through device manager after a horror-show of BSODs. Can't do that with the 12.9....
Anyone with a solution?

These have the same nasty effects that all 9.x drivers have had thus far when using MSI Afterburner. That being this, It lowers core to 300 and mem to 150, even though I'm running dual monitors. So I get HORRIBLE flickering in web browsers and such.
Drives me crazy....

Same here! Was rather pleasantly surprised, since I didn't see BL2 mentioned in the release notes.
Tested and can honestly say they are bloody fantastic with Borderlands 2 performance wise. My black screen issue when entering inventory menu's has now gone too.

I guess this leaves the HP pavilion/envy/ notebook users out in the cold eh?
Don't believe they would remove support for 5650 mobility just like that... it must be some-kind of an issue.
I did file a report about this problem, but i don't expect much from ATI's support

Display Corruption
After installing this driver on a 5870. When windows logs in the screen is all purple with horizontal and vertical lines everywhere. Does anyone know what might be causing this. I am not receiving any errors during installation or after they are installed. Just this display corruption. I did try both of the betas, the one with and without net 4.0. Thanks in advance for any help.

Asder, AMD released 2 variations of the 12.9 beta. One supports .Net 4 while the other doesn't. Any real reason to prefer one over the other?

Must be a Win8 thing, as Win7 Pro works just fine with this set, and the sept 9th leaked set.

Good question I was wondering the same thing, can someone explain why there's 2 versions of the beta this time?

Asder - Is CFX working fine in games for your 5850s with the 12.9 Official Beta + 12.9 CAP1?
I've tried re-installing a few times now and I keep getting the Windows Explorer crashes when launching games!

I guess if there are two different versions, one just bundles NET Framework 4.
It should be pointed out that NET Framework 4 has been superseded by NET Framework 4.5 (4.5 directly replaces 4, not like 3.5 which was additional to 3). The best option therefore is to download NET Framework 4.5, use that, don't worry about one with the NET 4 installer.
Windows 8 already includes NET Framework 4.5, and since 4.5 is superseded, the one with NET Framework 4 is pointless. AMD should really be including 4.5 with the driver, not 4.
Download NET Framework 4.5 from here (and yes, it is the proper release version):

Instead of criticizing, you could help.
Why not to write some feedback on their emails or feedback form, if you know how things run
Not exactly sure what would that do they haven't listened for past decade I am pretty sure they won't start listening with 1 e-mail. Only solution is to
develop own software and that is something I'm not specially good at, but no one will even consider it now since AMD tights up all ends to their software
and blocks other methods of using features of their sold out hardware on top of that. Further more on AMD you actually have to 'steal' the information of
their hardware to actually make it usable and then they either publish it or blame that you are a hacker/cracker that doesn't exactly sound like their
usually taglines of 'be innovative with AMD graphics...'.
(not saying this to AMD alone, have absolutely no love for any of the other large corporate crap they build these days just to force us buy new hardware)
So, I don't exactly see your point here to pointing me out obvious to criticizing on their grounds last I checked I told some truths on AMD forum
and I was banned the next day. So, only actual way to force AMD to do the required changes comes from people, news networks like guru3d to translate
this kinda crap to 'English' so people understands that "feature now on this driver developed to people doesn't mean anything to you ever and it is an
bogus feature which forces you to download extra 100MB instead for required 200KB driver needed for your hardware".

Wow, who sh1t in your fruit loops this morning?
This is real life, get used to it...
Why on earth would you think that a company that is beholden to its stock holders to make as much money as possible would do what YOU want?
There is no way in hell you are gonna get this kind of technology out of a socially responsible/open source/green/mom-and-pop company. It takes MASSIVE R&D budgets to produce this kind of tech. That takes MASSIVE amounts of capital. Last time i checked, that sh1t aint free.
So you are butthurt because you got banned from an AMD sponsored site for being a bag-of-dicks? what did you expect, honestly?
Wake up, and dispel the unicorns and rainbows...
you used to be cool twl, what happened?

I dual-boot Win7 x64 and Win8 x64 RTM with a 7850 and have installed Win8 several times.
If that is the case, the non-NET framework 4 download must use NET Framework 3.5 for the CCC, so for Windows 8 it would be idealistic to use the NET Framework 4 version. Still, the driver should not have the old NET Framework 4 installer, it should have 4.5 since 4.5 directly replaces NET Framework 4.
The included NET Framework installer on Windows 8 will do nothing, and on Windows 7 it would install if not installed already, but would be of a big disadvantage over using 4.5. I hope that makes sense!
I don't know if anyone can get that feedback back to AMD (about 4.5 vs 4).

It should be pointed out that NET Framework 4 has been superseded by NET Framework 4.5 (4.5 directly replaces 4, not like 3.5 which was additional to 3). The best option therefore is to download NET Framework 4.5, use that, don't worry about one with the NET 4 installer.
Thanks for the update. Installing now.

Tested and can honestly say they are bloody fantastic with Borderlands 2 performance wise. My black screen issue when entering inventory menu's has now gone too.
