Switchable graphics woes...

This driver gives me an igpkmd64.sys BSOD every now and then, pretty much like 13.4 WHQL. Some people say that uninstalling KB2670838 fixes the problem, but it doesn't. It still crashes, even on a computer that never had KB2670838 installed. Something was changed in 13.4 that now crashes the Intel GPU driver. It doesn't even matter which version of Intel driver is installed... This forces me to go back to 13.1.

And two problems I have been reporting in vain for so long...
When "Select the graphics processor manually or based on power source" is selected, Serious Sam BFE and Skyrim crash the driver within 1-30 minutes of gameplay (has been like that since 12.1). It occurs only in fullscreen mode. Doesn't happen on 11.12 or older.

When "Select the graphics processor based on application needs" is selected, Dolphin emulator performs about 2-3 times slower (has always been like that).
I've been reporting the last 2 issues for every driver release for almost one year... I'm giving up now.

No boost at all with the new 7790. Still 43 fps in MetroLL. Except WoW runs smoother. No more micro stutter with single GPU.

After 3D mode, the GPU stays in full load in 2D mode, only the ram throttles back down. You guys should check it out.

Edit:
Found the throttle bug. It's not the driver. GPU-Z is causing this. After starting GPU-Z, the GPU goes to full load & doesn't throttle back.

The HDMI audio dropout still isn't fixed. What the hell is wrong with AMD? How many YEARS does it take to fix this?

This is still the only fix that works for me, but you are keeping your card from going into a low power idle state, from what I understand. Such a waste...

http://www.overclock.net/t/1295464/intermittent-hdmi-audio-output-on-7970-12-8-drivers/10#post_18728285

open regedit and find
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Video\{XXXX...}\0000
( 'XXXX' means device number. There are several device number folder and u should find 'AdapterDesc' in 0000 folder which key value is 'amd radeon HD 7XXX Series'. )

At that '0000' folder, Change 'PP_SclkDeepSleepDisable REG_DWORD' value 0 to 1.
and reboot~!~!~!

radeon pro

Reduces frame times but doesn't do any frame metering to eliminate runt frames. Try again.

Dota 2 seemed like I was playing with 20 fps, turns out with vsync on it was capped at 60 and wasn't lowering but frametimes were all over the place... Turning off vsync I can't notice lagg but it's still capped at 120 fps which I don't remember happening before...

If you are using IE10 on windows 7 or windows 8, stay away from any AMD driver newer than 13.2 beta7.
Sadly, the 13.6 beta's still crash with IE10+flash (11.8.800.64)

I'll ask what others have asked and got no reply.

Do we need to install the latest CAP with these 13.6 BETA or they're included already?

I teased Thracks that C++ 2010 package in Catalyst is not the newest one and that this one is newest:

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26999

Ok, they beated me up, with the most recent one

. Also I hope that some most persistent DX9.0c bugs were fixed...

Actually that's a really old VC++ 2010 package as well. The latest package is build 10.0.40219.447 and if from April THIS year

You can get the latest 2005/2008/2010/2012 x86/x64 redists in this all-in-one VC++ package:
EDIT: New version will be up shortly (with even newer updates)

Well it's weird to install older 13.5 CAP 1 on newest 13.6 Beta drivers don't you think?

There's no official info from AMD about older CAP's were integrated in newest Beta drivers so it's normal to me that people are curious...

This thing has been mentioned like million times and every time people don't take the time to read previous posts or don't believe other members. If you look at overclock.net Thracks has said (in older posts that I can't find) that there is NO HARM in installing the latest caps (even thought it's from 13.5). If 13.6 uses newer caps it will just ignore older caps. So just install it to be sure :nerd:

It's always good practice to uninstall Afterburner before installing new drivers, and then reinstalling again. Don't keep previous settings either.

You need to edit Dota 2 config file to remove 120 frame cap.
