Latest AMD Catalyst Video Driver for Windows 7

Just for some of you Users in Crossfire having issues you need to Edit ULPS Ultra Low Power State because this will ramp your 2nd GPU and BSOD crash or what ever it's a big issue for Crossfire users

type REGEDIT right click run as Admin then go to system Control set ,I have pretty much shadowed in the reg-number and path with pics in order

Now when you go to the ULPS section you want to right click to Modify and change it to 0 that's it you will do that on both of them 0001 and 0002 if you have three cards 0003 and edit the ULPS that will get rid of the issue happy gaming

What's about the next line Reg-Z "EnableUlps_NA"?

Does this trick works with Gpu Virtualization too?

AMD ULPS (Ultra Low Power State) Disable Tool

Looks it had to be used when in 3D Game because of the second GPU running 99% (extra heat/watt). It doesn't happen when in 2D desktop.

Thanks will read further!

No problem glad you found it useful

I get a weird issue number (11.5)
as well as a slightly different 2D File Path reference.. (**/0005)


- everything else looks ok.. (??)

That looks funky but the versions are the same AMD must be trying to implement mantle in the code also it could be the number from the first driver used after a clean install

it is definitely not a previous driver. i got a pretty big increase in performance!

The Catalyst Version is a Reg error as it did not get updated. Found this on AMD Gamer forum.

Type regedit in windows search box (from start button) & click Enter
Click on computer in the new windows that appears & press Ctrl F (search function)
Type Catalyst_Version & press Enter , depending on the speed of your machine it can take 2-3 minutes if it's a slow machine (don't worry).
Your first listing will appear with the Catalyst _Version it thinks you have (mine was 11.5 yesterday).
Right click & choose Modify
Enter 13.12 & press Enter
Press F3 (find's the next entry)
You will need to repeat this step (F3 & Modify) several times (8 times in my case) until you run out of listing's.
Do Not edit anything else in the registry unless you know what you are doing (you'll break windows).
When you have found every entry with the incorrect Catalyst_Version close regedit & restart your computer.

I think this happen a year or two back and AMD corrected the error.

What i mean is the number version is the original version installed on the PC
You know some people keep installing over old drivers too that is why i mentioned this

 

[N00berG00ber]

so what version number should this be saying?

 

[Solarstarshines]

so what version number should this be saying?

All i am saying is given how the drivers have been acting it's either a REG issue that it just didn't overwrite the version that was previously used meaning didn't update the registry just the driver

 

[N00berG00ber]

yea... although my scores did improve in the heaven benchmark, my FPS in games and such got way worse! ill do a clean install and try again. if not, then back to beta.

 

[N00berG00ber]

huh intresting. with a clean install and wipe of old drivers and reg. my CCC is looking like this. notice there is no driver number this time? still testing performance...

edit: tbh, i thing beta 13.11 9.5 had better FPS.

 

[Solarstarshines]

Mine was a clean install too don't know what to tell you on that

My version showed up

yea im getting random frame drops on the WHQL so back to beta i guess owell. the new one did provide better FPS but random frame drops get annoying.

 

[N00berG00ber]

man, amd really needs to just iron out their drivers. this is getting kinda annoying

Yeah, It's right!

The reg entry did show 13.9 here, instead of the last version 13.12!

Also, the custom install dialog shows the 2012 Visual C++ package to be version 10.0.30319.

But after installation, Control Panel shows it to be 11.0.50727.

 

[N00berG00ber]

now im getting 13.12 version. i did a clean install with a driver sweeper

Weird again...maybe some should install twice like N00berG00ber!

Oh well...at least those are working with a slight drop of two fps for me, here!
