Um...
Newer Direct3d driver, newer OpenGL driver, OpenCL components combined. Does sound different to me!
It might be true that the main purpose of the driver was support for newer cards, but that doesn't mean there weren't other changes. In fact, if the purpose of the driver was to support newer cards, they won't actually highlight changes for other cards until the next general purpose WHQL/beta is released.
In the changelogs, the do NOT list every single change to the driver, just the main points. There would certainly be many more changes and tweaks to the code than goes reported.
Just look at the changes Microsoft lists between Vista --> 7 --> 8. As I said, most changes go unlisted.

?
are you referring to 13.x? or 13.4 WHQL?
i was rferring to 13.x as not being different from 13.3beta.
An AMD rep flat out said the only change was adding the 7790 ASIC in 13.x

I was referring to this driver in comparison to 16 April driver, and like I said, most changes won't be listed, especially if the purpose of the driver is support for the 7790 ASIC. For exmaple, the changing of the OpenCL and Openvideo etc into the driver is a big change not listed, and there would be a significant number of smaller changes also not listed.

As Mac had said, it was confirmed by AMD that the April 16 was no different than 13.3 beta 3 with 7790 support. Any changes or differences seen were placebo.

I'm not referring to that driver, I'm referring to the 16 April driver compared to this one
Actually makes sense the 16 April driver just includes the 7790 ASIC in the driver itself, since even though it is newer it doesn't have the include OpenCL components. That said, the other apps are still separate (AVT etc), and they were different. Basically packaged with the latest versions at the time. Of course, the 16 April driver may have other changes to it to, changes to allow for the 7790 ASIC that effects other cards as well (small changes). As I said, most changes go unreported.
But back to this driver, yes the driver is different, but the apps are older than the 16 April driver, which is why I suggested copying them over to this driver (except OpenCL). It is important to remove the old drivers first (to remove the old type OpenCL etc).

THAT driver is the april 16th driver, also called 13.x
The apps being older in 13.3beta3 is irrelevent as they would all need to be recompiled for the new ASIC in 13.x.

Assasins creed 3 still has low fps with these drivers no matter what settings.

What I meant was the apps are older in this driver than the 16 April driver. They packaged the latest app builds available for that driver. The apps are older in this driver than the 16 April driver simply because it was packaged earlier

well, that makes sense as this was submitted to MS on March 28th, and 13.x was compiled after that.
But again, the fact that 13.x is newer is irreverent, its just a compile date. AMD has said there is no difference, either accept that or dont.
My original statement was the beta3 was a better driver for comparison rather than 13.x, as the newer app dates are irrelevant.

No I agree, this is definitely the driver that people should be using instead! It's just the Apps (apart from OpenCL) that are newer with it due to the newer packaging date (like I said, they seem to package the latest apps available at the time of packaging).
The 13.5 beta would be good though, I believe it's getting close to the point where that memory code rewrite would be tested. If not with 13.5 beta, at a guess I would say still within say, a month or two. Before someone comments, I am purely speculating about that!

Great... no support for 7xxxxM series. Yay for AMD unified drivers.
Source is from Overlock.net, nothing official. Some dude who got beta access from an OCN Lan AMD event. He said it's supposed to have some CFX fixes and some new module that will improve DX10/DX11 games in general. He predicted a April 24th release in conjunction with 7990 release. He claims he already has the drivers but couldn't release since it was still under internal evaluation.
- Probably pretend mobile customers don't exist again on those too.

Every AMD Driver from 12.11 (I think) has made my Laptop blue screen on restart after uninstalling the previous driver. Have to "Load Last Known Good Configuration" and use Atiman to fix it. So strange, I have a Dell Studio 1749 with a 5650M.

Because AMD are really really weird. They prefer to let someone leak their drivers 24-48 hours before they can spend the 5 minutes it takes to upload it to their own server. I guess it's official policy to demonstrate that they are incompetent, leak drivers and then take much longer to post it themselves.

Why wait if someone already leaked them? That's dumb. Anyway, it's also very consistent. Their drivers are leaked on ComputerBase, Guru3D, Station Drivers etc consistently 24-48 hours before before the very awesome, communicative Andrew tweets that it's coming, which I just don't get. It's being leaked by multiple people, locations. If they know their drivers are going to be leaked, don't get why they don't just put it up, can't take more than 10 minutes... Copy paste changelog, move file to FTP server, done...

They are generally distributed to reviewers before they are put up.
Thats usually where the leaks come from.
Notice they are zipped, not an .exe
Thats how you know they arent the final packaging, because thats how they send them to testers.

The HDMI driver now loads correctly, actually the first driver I can use since 12.7B4. HDMI audio is still stuttering and the only fix (that is working) is to set PP_SclkDeepSleepDisable to 1.
