Yeah I just finished a session of Skyrim and hadn't noticed any issues. On the flipside I hadn't notice any performance increase either.

Actually I do notice one thing - I no longer have a slight delay when right clicking my desktop, or items on the desktop.

I was able to narrow the cause down to CCC as its been an issue for quite some time, I even posted a question on it at rage3d but it never got any traction. Anyway the issue is finally resolved, many iterations later. Yay

no wonder i noticed a slight decrease in performance in saints row 3 and mw2 O_O when i went from 11.1c to 12.2 thought i was just being delusional XD

 

[stormy13]

[Solarstarshines]

Yeah those 12.2's are problematic with their stealth performance and all

You might want to go back to the 12.1 drivers and check out their here and now performance

anyways i went back to 12.1 got a performance boost i suggest staying on this version till they fix the problems in 12.2

 

[stormy13]

And I'll ask again, what 12.2?

 

[sygnus21]

Well other then the person who first mentioned them, I think the rest of us are being sacastic. I know I am.

 

[M1GU31]

sure it isn't 2.2

and yes you probaly mean 11.2

there is only 12.1 version nothing beyond that 12.2 won't be around for some time as this 12.1 is a test driver and not even the full version

GIven AMD's track record I wouldn't be surprised to see them released sometime in Jan 2012.

 

[Commodore Pet]

Maybe they are going to rapid release like all the browsers and will have a new version every few days! :sarc:

 

[mickey megabyte]

.......then i took an arrow to the knee.
