14.11.2 beta

It's out, basically supporting Far Cry 4 and Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Highlights of AMD Catalyst™ 14.11.2 Windows® Beta Driver Performance Improvements

Dragon Age: Inquisition performance optimizations
- Up to 5% performance increase over Catalyst™ 14.11.1 beta in single GPU scenarios with Anti-Aliasing enabled.
- Optimized AMD CrossFire™ profile

Important Notes
All previous versions of AMD Catalyst™ drivers must be completely uninstalled to receive full benefits of this driver. Please make sure to completely uninstall all previous AMD Catalyst™​ display drivers before installing the 14.11.2 Beta.
The AMD CrossFire™ profile for Far Cry 4 is currently disabled in this driver while AMD works with Ubisoft to investigate an issue where AMD CrossFire™ configurations are not performing as intended. An update is expected on this issue in the near future through an updated game patch or an AMD driver posting.

Resolved Issues
[409235]: Small chance of intermittent screen tearing or corruption in Call of Duty®: Advanced Warfare on high settings 4K resolution in AMD CrossFire™ mode.
[408892]: World of Warcraft can sometimes exhibit corruption when using CMAA in AMD CrossFire™ configurations.
[407431]: Minecraft sometimes produces corruption when changing video settings in windowed mode.
[407338]: XDMA Quad CrossFire™ configurations in portrait Eyefinity modes sometimes display tearing or stuttering.

Known Issues
[408723]: System can sometimes hang when upgrading to Catalyst™ 14.11.2 from Catalyst™14.7 in AMD CrossFire™ configurations. As a workaround please completely uninstall previous Catalyst™ software versions before installing Catalyst™14.11.2 beta.
[409518]: Slight performance drops in FIFA 2015 on AMD CrossFire™ configurations.
[409502]: Occasional flickering sometimes observed while playing FIFA 2015 in AMD Dual Graphics configurations.

[408706]: Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare intermittent black screen when loading game in Quad AMD Crossfire™ configurations.
[409600]: Civilization: Beyond Earth mantle users in AMD CrossFire™ configurations may sometimes experience an issue where they cannot change their game resolution. As a work around please use "Enable MGPU=1" in the games configuration .ini file.

AMD is currently working with BioWare to resolve the following issues:
Flickering is sometimes observed in Dragon Age: Inquisition on a limited number of surfaces in AMD CrossFire™ configurations.
AMD is currently working with Ubisoft to resolve the following issues:
Uneven hair corruption sometimes observed in Assassins Creed Unity when applying "ultra" game settings.

AMD Catalyst 14.12 Omega WHQL

This driver is not intended for use on AMD products running in Apple Boot Camp platforms. Users of these platforms should contact their manufacturer for driver support.
When installing the AMD Catalyst™ Driver for Windows® operating system, the user must be logged on as Administrator, or have Administrator rights to complete the installation of the AMD Catalyst Driver.
The AMD Catalyst Omega Software Suite requires Windows 7 Service Pack 1 to be installed.
These release notes provide information on the AMD Catalyst Display Driver only. For information on the AMD Multimedia Center™, HydraVision, HydraVision Basic Edition, Remote Wonder™, or the Southbridge/IXP driver, please refer to their respective release notes found at: Support & Drivers.
The AMD Catalyst Omega Software Suite requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 to be installed. Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 is included in all Catalyst packages.
AMD Eyefinity technology is designed to give gamers access to high display resolutions. As pixel count grows, the graphics "horsepower" required to drive the displays at a reasonable frame rate can increase dramatically. Depending on the game and system configuration, users may notice texture corruption and reduced frame rates when running games in multi-monitor Eyefinity modes.
Windows Driver Model (WDM) drivers are no longer bundled in the AMD Catalyst software suite. The WDM drivers install bundle can be downloaded independently through the AMD website.

AMD sent me an email for their new drivers Omega...Despite the always weird uninstall and after cleaning leftover, it had install smoothly the Omega v14.501.1003.0 fine.

A new Era!

 

[OldSmith]

Updated to the latest release and BSOD with amdkmpfd.sys date 12-13-13. DDU can't remove: in use by another device. Registry has several instances of it tied to AHCI and an Intel South Bridge. Writing this on a 1080p 27" VGA - I would laugh...
Waiting to hear back from AMD.

The latest drivers do not work for me. Extremely slow load time and other artifacts.
I did use the auto-detect at AMD. Do I need to do this for myself? Maybe it auto-detected incorrectly?
I updated another PC and it's working fine. Slightly different chipset/GPU.

I have the A6-3420M with integrated 6520G.

SOMEONE PLEASE SCHOOL ME. Do I need the CCC or can I get by with 'just' the drivers for graphics/chipset etc...?

The only place that laptop users should get their graphics drivers from is the laptop maker's website. I've read that often a driver provided by, in this instance, AMD, is heavily customized for each laptop by the maker. The downside to this is that too often, laptop makers stop certifying drivers after just a year or two. The newest drivers offered for your laptop for Win 7 are dated March 2012.

Thanks for the info.

EDIT: Installing the laptop's AMD driver seems to have solved the problem. Lesson learned. Thanks!

Whilst this is interesting, when I install 14.12, it complains that an install is already running and doesn't install the catalyst monitor so no adjustment is possible except through Windows. Of course the gaming installs and I don't care about that! I also have a green tinge that appears throughout any picture that is made full screen/panel. Looking at the picture, i.e., a VGA file in Windows file manager, everything looks just fine! Any thoughts? BTW. Tried a new video card, same problem. Tried a new Gigabyte GA-X79-UD5 MB, same problem.
