Although display driver did update to 8.690, CCC did not update against 9.12 hotfix CCC,
even after clean install 10.1 CCC is older than 9.12 hotfix CCC both in version and dates - what a shame :laugh:
For me it seems every 2nd driver hits a performance increase with this gpu... I think 9.12 is the one for me till the 10.2 cat comes out :pimp:
hah! firefox/flash issues fixed!
Ok just ran it again and showed only -8 points with everything the same but the cpu has been dropped to 1.20 volts from 1.25 so all in all I guess it's working lol!
Im not running my 2nd gpu as I lent it out and Buddie, I went over to his house to grab it today to test the new cat but he said some one stole it.... mus ta sold it for crack or some shit like that, FUCKER!
I need new friends or just kick the shit outta the current one!
me too:roll:
Is this showing the right Driver?
Im thinking it's the 10.1cat but im not sure. :wtf:
your CCC version is clearly 9.12
What does DXDIAG say about your driver version?
I have CCC 9.12 as I only downloaded the driver
That is some serious shit man! His excuse is as dumb as hell. WTF, did he forgot to tell this to you earlier?!
As for the new Cat's - I don't see why I should upgrade from 9.12's. And I haven't had any issues on Windows with x64 drivers as well.
EDIT:
Hah, I'm on the screenie :toast: :D
I went to the ATI site to D/L the driver..... I downloaded the top one. Is that the one?
ATI screwed the pooch on reporting the version number. It doesn't look like they are in any hurry to fix it either, so expect a lot of confused posts about this in the near future... :(
I checked Gpu-z and all it shows under the driver is this....
CatalystMaker notes in his tweet log that the new 10.1 drivers don't display the version accurately elsewhere.
The pity is that angry users will probably come here to blame GPU-Z for not working properly.
But go ahead, support the sponsored messages and fall over a real person if that's how you like things.

ATI release notes:
Known issues under all windows operating systems:
Intermittent gray screen or vertical line corruption my randomly appear on the screen.
10.1's but come up as 9.7's?? WTF??
ATi said MAY, that's MAY occur on all versions of Windows.
That's not a huge stretch. This is my first ATI card on my system, been green all this time till my last upgrade. And I guess I haven't had ANY issues and all versions I've tried. But go ahead, call me a liar. Virtual folks can get all worked up over nothing.
I am confused to why they would have overlooked this but hey they did.
THIS is HOW it should look ..noting that Catalyst version can say just about anything
