Latest AMD Catalyst Video Driver for Windows 7

[brianzion]

mmmmm just noticed the auto updater in ccc installed 12.3 and there is another auto check for 09 march.

The install program will let you pick what to install with the custom option. Express option will install everything.

AHA! That's right. I can uncheck CCC if I just want to install just the driver.

At one time there was no "Install Manager" which provides the custom/express option, as there is today, which is yet another component from them. You just ran the downloaded file for the dedicated component installed by that file. And that is how I liked to run. As I recall I decided to use that method years ago when I occasionally ran into "install failures" and unsuccess when trying to run the consolidated install file, whereas the separates install files seemed to run successfully. Maybe I was just snakebit once, but it changed my approach going forward.

Ok. You've convinced me to forget about it. Even with the new "Install Manager" approach I still do take the "custom" option, certainly unchecking the SDK and transcoding features which I have no use for.

its always good to have a read of Andrew D @ CatalystCreator tweets here >>> Twitter (still don't explain my 12.3 a error or just released early?)

Don't know what programs you are running but you may want to install the SDK.

The AMD APP SDK includes a CPU runtime for OpenCL, allowing OpenCL execution on x86 multi-core CPUs, as well as a GPU runtime providing OpenCL execution on AMD GPUs.

I'm not a gamer. Zero. And I mean ZERO.

I just run ordinary everyday Windows and 3rd-party standard browser and programs, I do use Windows Media Center to watch HDTV (previously with my HD4850 and now with my HD5770), and I use WMP or VLC to play videos.

And of course I actually do WORK on my machine, but again those are standard programs which make almost no demands of video capability.

My needs are very very minimal, as long as HDTV is perfect and my two Eizo 1920x1200 24" LCD monitors are supported perfectly by my dual-DVI HD5770 and Eizo Screenmanager Pro for LCD screen optimization software.

Installed 12.2 and I can't enable crossfire. I'll check around but it's back to 11.12.

When I enable crossfire in the control panel the setting would not stay enabled. But once you reboot the control panel shows it's enabled.

Any idea where the ATI software update stores the new update downloaded files???

-thx

 

[stormy13]

Not sure but I would assume that it would download the exe like a manual download and save it to the temp folder, and then extract it to the C:\AMD folder like normal and run the install from there. If that is what it does, then just like if you manually download and install, it can safely be deleted after as all that folder contains is the install files, there is nothing in it that used used after installing.

 

[rbmorse]

That's correct.

 

[LPDad]

got it.
Thanks.

my ccc updated itself to 12.3

 

[Brink]

What do you know. Mine did as well. I wonder why AMD doesn't have 12.3 available for download yet.

 

[brianzion]

i have looked on amd website but cant find any topic on this its good the updater works though

 

[brianzion]

brink it may be a error from amd ? found this in there forums AMD Game Forums - 12.2 Certified driver

Likely a typo in the INF and nothing to worry about as it doesn't affect anything.

You can also change it to whatever you want (or even have it show nothing) by opening the INF and locating the following,

HKR,, Catalyst_Version,,"12.3"

and change it to 12.2 or anything else you want (or even delete the line completely). It has no bearing at all on how the driver performs.

P.S. If you remove that line and don't clean out any and all locations in the registry that point to the catalyst version, CCC will show whatever previous Cat version was installed. That is why in most cases if you install a beta/leaked AMD driver it can show the previous version regardless of what the beta is based on as AMD normally doesn't include that string in the betas.

Yeah, probably a typo.

Updated catalyst to 12.3 earlier today and had no problems. After shutting my comp down though and restarting the aero transparency effects are not working. The windows troubleshooting option "Troubleshoot problems with transparency and other aero effects" did not solve the problem. Has anyone else experienced this issue or found how to solve it? My desktop is very ugly right now P.S. I have a radeon hd 6870
