Nice. About time these arrived. Thanks for sharing and being on the ball man.

Skinner · Jan 29, 2013

Thanx for the heads up

Dave · Jan 29, 2013

awesome.

Yep. Crysis 2 flies in 2560x1600 plus Ultra settings.

Flanker35M · Jan 29, 2013

S!

Mechwarrior Online at 1920x1080 without VSync runs at most times above 60fps on Very High settings except Motion Blur Off. No flickering noted yet, but a small hit on performance with VSync On compared to 13.1 WHQL. Need to test more tomorrow, hopefully we get proper drivers and/or CAP for this title

BababooeyHTJ · Jan 29, 2013

Awesome, can't wait to try these out.

Is there a full change log?

Also, I feel like a noob for asking but should I bother with a cap? The last cap is pretty old now.

Well these are crap. They blue screen my PC when installing. Isn't that just like them to make us wait only to deliver fail.

bob200_rps · Jan 29, 2013

After downloading, I cannot open MOH Warfighter anymore... Just a black screen, need ctrl alt del to finish running :mad:

Instead of link in OP, they are here on the AMD support page:

Do not install these ontop of 13.1 WHQL, uninstall previous drivers first. I used the AMD uninstall tool.

Roadking · Jan 29, 2013

I had trouble with the leaked 13.2 and reverted back to 12.11B11. Uninstalled the Cap and installed these over the 12.11B and they are working great. Played 2 hours of Skyrim without any stutter. Probably the best trouble free enjoyable session of skyrim Ive ever had.

Well I got these to install. The epic fail that is Crossfire seems to be causing the issue. Not really surprising. In the 5 or more years they've had to figure it out, they've yet to really grasp the concept using multiple graphics cards. Really a shame too. Anyone willing to give them twice the money gets half the experience in return. Kind of a shitty business model.

So yeah, if I take out my 2nd card, these will install. I can swap either card in and out and the system works fine. Even after getting the drivers successfully installed, I still can't add the 2nd card. It blue screens on startup. Nice job AMD. I hope you can manage to squeak out actual working drivers for the whql release.

I really hope the 8000 series cards are very powerful. I might just need to go back to using a single GPU after all these years with Crossfire. I guess after this long I should have wised up and figured out that they don't have a clue what they are doing.

Still flickering in Crysis 2 DX11 Ultra, at start of each "HDR cycle" (the sunlight fluctuates from normal to extra bright, following a cicular process) in crossfire 7970. Easy test: start Lab Rat. Get to the half open tunnel drive on the left side. From there, look at the open area (the buildings and the sky), just wait and see.
Flickering will come creeping in, and disappear. Then come back, and disappear. It follows the cycle of the sunlight brightness (the brighter it gets, the less flickering).
This issue (afaik) never appeared in driversets before 12.11. Since 12.11 this issue appeared. In betas as well as WHQL's: 13.1 WHQL and now the official 13.2 Beta3 downloaded from the AMD supportsite.

AMD claims performance improvement in Crysis 2 with this set but why didn't they fix this along with it??? :confused:

Issue reported at driver feedback.

Ristogod · Jan 30, 2013

Ha Ha. Success. I'm not sure exactly what I did, but in trying one more time all seems to work now. :confused:

Are those improvements just for the 7xxx+ series? Have a 6870, just wondering.

MNB4800 · Jan 30, 2013

Also a wondering 5870 user here too regarding improvements...

No, if you read here you can see that they are from 5000 series and up

Pestul · Jan 30, 2013

Yeah, AMD are usually really good at relaying whether or not the improvements are series specific. In this case, it looks like all DX11 cards benefit.

LordJuanlo · Jan 30, 2013

On my computer, GPU1 memory clock remains at 1375, it doesn't downclock. GPU2 and GPU3 are downclocking normally. I'm not sure whether this also happened with 13.1 WHQL or not, because MSI AfterBurner couldn't read GPU speed data and temperature from second and third cards (now it can with this beta).

EDIT: After a couple of reboots, the only info MSI Afterburner gets from GPU2 and GPU3 are usage, fan speed and tachometer. No more clocks. I wonder is it's some kind of OS issue...
