These don't install on 7870 Tahiti LE (no hardware identifier comes up). I hope 13.2 beta is ok. Back to 12.11 beta 11

Quick tests regarding flickering issue on Catalyst 13.1 Skyrim: Random ingame - Not visible Flickerspot - Flickered once and then nothing for few minutes Skin flickering - present but somehow "slower" Witcher 2 - Enhanced edition: Flotsam forest - again flickered once and then nothing Starcraft II With latest driver i can confirm that flickering IS finally present in this game even for me. More tests later.

I just tested with the witcher 2 and the game doesnt look fluid. When im walking it starts stuttering while i get a steady framerate of 40 fps. I guess people were right we need to wait for 13.2.

Looking at the release notes I'm starting to think that the slower driver release schedule has more to do with the downsizing of the AMD driver team then it has to do with quality releases. Octomber + December and no important fix in sight or changes between this and the 12.11 beta. I'm curious if they at least fixed the monstrous memory leak in BF3 on Windows 8.

The driver has reintroduced the bug in MPC-HC when full/half float point processing is enabled where you get no video at all. The ugly artefacts in some h.264 video is still present.

Just played BF3 half an hour and these drivers are the best so far. Now, FPS don't go haywire all the time, it's steady like it should be. Great!

My installation appeared to be borked and hung for many minutes. Had to restart and clear a few registry entries. All seems ok now however.

Hmm I don't use hdmi so I can't check that for you. But good to know I was not the only one with that message. Going to test some games to make sure everything is working.

Did you look at your log to see what the error was? This was mine:

Driver Install: the driver package does not specify a hardware identifier

New CCC is better The new "3D Application Settings" page is better than before: http://i.imgur.com/FL4cF.jpg We can now see all the parameters at once without the need to scroll down. Thanks for the reduction of extremely huge "Blank" borders the layout had before. Also, the new way of setting an individual Application settings is much better too... it's in the same page as 3D Application Settings and now we can edit or correct these individual App settings just by changing the desired setting and hit "save"! (Before, we had to go in the Profiles Page to erase the profile we created and start over... or we could use the app settings as "global settings", correcting it, then applying it again to the specified app... that was complicated) ALSO NO downsampling for me too : :cussing: http://i.imgur.com/S29iD.jpg I only hope the creator of that downsampling tool will release an update, because it's a HUGE downer to me.... :thumbdown i feel like i lost my highest (and my primarily used) resolution! 🙁 And.... Thanks to Asder00 and Hilbert!
