It looks like developers @ ATI did not work too much since december last year.

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:

Im down about 200 points as well on mark06 and Vantage.

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:

they seem to have two drivers teams. These would stability/crossfire profile drivers (minimal changes) while the next drivers should be the feature/performance ones. Every second driver is always minimal.

200 points is insignificant. I can get +/- 200 points just running one bench after the other. How are other things working out for you?

did you download the 10.1 ccc package or just the 10.1 driver?

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

Dxdiag shows 10.1
I went to the ATI site to D/L the driver..... I downloaded the top one. Is that the one?

Yeah, you're running 10.1 now. Driver packaging version shows 8.69-xxxxx
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... :(

Thanks man :toast:

As you already discovered, dxdiag will correctly report the Catalyst version.
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.

erockerNo problems here using 9.12's and CrossFire. Not joking, no lie.
He said ANY problems with ATI drivers, that's ANY and all versions he tried, that's BS and I will repeat that until I'm banned from freaking internet.

But go ahead, support the sponsored messages and fall over a real person if that's how you like things.

Don't beat yourself up over it. We are just all anonymous people leaving virtual words on a virtual forum. Don't let something fake get you mad for real. Besides, I can't get a hold of internet creator Al Gore to wipe you from the internet so it looks like you're staying a while. :P

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.

Catalyst version can say just about anything ....but as long as it says Driver Package version: 8.69-091211a-094296C-ATI then you ARE running 10.1 and NO WORRIES!


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
