Catalyst 14.11.2 Beta

[Dwarden]

x2 on the driver stopped responding or crashed issues ...

several times I got our games ending with 'no DX11 adapter found'
while next game start all was fine

also I noticed weird behavior where 'Windows' start complaining games eat too much resources ...

Keep 14.11.1 cause they work great with Far Cry 4 and the latest patch. (Crossfire is enabled there).

For me the crashes and other issues were worse with the 14.11.1 driver.
No issues here with the 14.9.2 Civ-BE driver.

I've question , is this driver doing something specific with memory ?

like using Large Pages ?

how exactly would a display driver mess with the os page file?

Large pages got nothing with OS page file

Large Pages are on Windows 2MB block compared to Small Pages which are 4KB block

this means less CPU cache used and performance increase on frequent memory ops , if application utilize this

trouble, trouble...

i know they were in hurry because of new games, and probably 14.12 will polish the bugs out, but these 14.11.2b are really trashy.
Far Cry 4 works kinda ok, like FC3, with micro stuttering Assassin's Creed Unity with latest patch still horrific performance. C'mon AMD!

No issues for me with 14.11.2

Those drivers work smooth as a baby's ass here on my rig. No corruption, no crashes, no problems at all.

Now I'm waiting that AMD adds virtual screen sizes downscaled using supersampling so we can get SSAA even in stupid games that don't support it... now that would be a major feature.

Yeah I got the driver stopped responding and recovered error just now. I was just folding on the gpu's and watching a video with firefox, hardware acceleration was off on flash at the time. Add the small amount of graphical corruption with Civ-BE and that was enough. Also had the Game State of Decay hardlock had to log out from the Task Manager yesterday.

I'm back on the 14.9.2 beta now. The 14.11.1 and 2 are a no go on my comp.

Now your 7970 is getting old... not an excuse, I know, but still.

I know plus they have been folding almost 24/7 since I got them..except for the summer months..temps creeping up on the 1st one too hovering around 63c atm.

Really don't want to upgrade until the 3x series comes out.
