Will update the thread in a bit...
More drivers...Nice. 🙂 Feature Highlights of AMD Catalyst™ 13.6 Beta2 for Windows®: Improves performance in PCMark 7 and PCMark 8 on the new AMD A10, A8, A6, and A4 Series APUs for desktop and mobile platforms. Resolves HDMI Audio drop-out issues on the AMD Radeon HD Series of products.

Seems like this driver makes my 5870M burn a little hotter. Anyone else see any temperature changes?

So they aren't doing vista drivers any more in beta?

The Windows 7/8 driver will also install on Windows Vista. EDIT: Quoted from the actual download page here on guru3d
This display driver supports Windows Vista/Windows 7/Windows 8.

Looked in the package. Only W7 W8 drivers. All of the betas so far don't have vista drivers. I tried installing 13.5 and 13.6 beta and Catalyst wouldn't even load. Said it didn't detect any hardware and could not run. Did a complete driver wipe and install too for both. So I had to use the official 13.4. Unless I'm missing something I'll give them a shot and post back at what happens. As I said I did a driver clean last time so maybe I'll install over 13.4 just to see what happens. Edit: Same as before, I'll roll back to 13.4. Just wish they would label them properly.

People still use Vista? (it's probably what they are thinking too). Maybe they see little point on fully supporting Vista on beta releases since there are only five people using it (I like to overestimate things to cover myself), with modern hardware, that actually know or care about updating their hardware properly 🙂.
Besides trolling, your point was?

Maybe today is hotter than yesterday? Anyway these drivers don't show any difference to the 13.6 beta. No point really.
Yeah, you're right. My intelligent mates turned off the A/C.

Can please someone tell me why when I install a driver, it defaults to YCbCr Pixel Format ? This of cource, happens when I use HDMI-HDMI connection... The 1920x1080 doesn't work as expected, normally... I've to manually change to RGB PC Standard Pixel Format in order to become better, but still on games etc I've to set manually a new 1920x1076 resolution in CCC. Otherwise, I get black bars around... What's going on? Does it think I'm trying to connect a TV or something? DVI-DVI or even HDMI ( GPU ) -> DVI ( monitor ) works fine.

They do, they improve performance in PCMark 7/8 on the Richlands, and resolve the HDMI Audio drop-out on the Radeon HD series, the previous BETAs don't. :P

fix stuttering in bioshock or remember me ?
that stuttering i think that is because the engine,no the drivers...
I was wondering the same about Bio and Remember Me. So that's due to both being a heavily modded unreal engine? Most of you know unreal usually is incredibly high in fps with ATI (old and optimised). Granted, those mods are pretty intensive (and impressive! I have to say for a minute there i thought i was looking at a ue 4 beta build! 🤓) Didn't they fix this "stuff" on BF3 and C0D? I'd like to find out what the real bottleneck is, other than my overexcited-ness about this new beta, lol. Welp, releases have been shaping up so I can't really bitch too much... :wanker:

Resident evil revelations is not playable in ATI 7XXX series ... http://steamcommunity.com/app/222480/discussions/0/828939797070233670/ i really hate amd/ati, my next vga definitely will be a NVIDIA , is not a trolling but i very tired of the problems .
In that link you provided:
To clear one thing up.. it's not an AMD only processor problem as I have an Intel i5 Ivy Bridge. Also not an AMD only graphics card problem as I put an older Nvidia card in my pc and still had the issue. Locked 30fps or 60fp doesn't make a difference, it still happens.

the most part of people with this problem had a amd 7xxx.
Yes, but...it does happen with Nvidia cards as well. This points to a game issue and not a drivers issue. Take a look at Metro: Last Light. One patch and performance went up for AMD cards.

its a problem with ati and physx 😏, in nvidia cards working good .
Oh wonderful, the bottleneck is physx again. I didn't notice as it seems the devs found it much easier to add a disable option in a patch. I guess they didn't have any AMD hardware at time of release, lol. Let the pray for patch waiting games commence! :banana:

YCbCr 4:4:4 is the better pixel format afaik, its what I keep mine set to THe black bars are likely due to scaling, goto CCC > My digital flat panels > Scaling Options and slide the slider to fill the HDMI screen
YCbCr should never be used for Games, they are made for TINT : Cool and not for Kelvin D65- Warm. Only Movies blueray and such made to be played on Warm or D65 Tint mode because that's how they picture it and made to look like that. Games are and will be always RGB as possible because the possiblites u can make using this and the no limit of colours the artists needed to make a picture a real 3D motion picture so you can play with it as a game not a movie.

When booting up my laptop for the first time with this driver installed, I'm getting a BSOD with a STOP: 0x00000116 error related to atikmpag.sys with the mobility version of this driver on my Alienware M18x-R2 with 2x 7970M CrossfireX and Windows 7 64 bit. It was a completely clean driver install with first uninstalling the old driver then removing all traces on the SSD and registry as I always do. It worked fine on the reboot after the BSOD, however. I've never had a problem like this on this laptop before either, including with the first 13.6 Beta drivers. Just a heads-up, I guess.
