I saw that but i dont play that game mine were weird stuff like blocking on shader effects and things. Cramming the 14.4 dlls in the directories fixed them.

So what's the point of these drivers if they don't fix the reported issues? Damn it AMD...

These seem fine to me, minimum in LL was down again on the benchmark (everything elses minimums was fine), 9+ (previously 20+ on the 14.41 RC1s), but the actual game played fine, no quick pause/freeze. Gained slightly on the Tomb Raider bench, min 62.0 (same as 14.41 RC1s), max 110, Avg 83.6 (previous Avg 83.3 on 14.41 RC1s :P). Sniper Elite v2 bench seemed the same as the 14.41 RC1s, just a very slight drop on the minimums, went from 35+, to 32.99, which is nothing. Grid 2 was around the same as well. Bioshock Infinite maximum frames was up, went from just over 178, to just over 229, minimums etc... were around the same as 14.41s. 3D Mark 11 was 11.877, (14.41 RC1s was 11.910). Seem fine these, so will stick with them, as only playing LL at the minute, and it runs fine as said. 🙂

Thanks Rich_Dude and AMDMatt.

That would be a patch from raptr, not in the drivers.

i would say is ther a newer version of raptor included?

These didn't have Raptr for me, it said the usual about do a custom install if you don't want it, but when i clicked to do the custom (to unselect it), it wasn't in the list to untick, so i just clicked next with everything selected :P I guess all the issues they wanted reporting won't be in these, as they are signed, takes about 2 weeks that, so these would have had to have been sent off for the signage, around the time of the last day for submitting issues, which was the 12th September. Might get a Beta soon with most of those issues fixed, as these just look more like a performance driver, as theres quite a few performance improvements listed in the release notes. EDIT: for the bib, These are dated the 15th September.

These also gave me the yellow question mark at the end of the install again, saying there were errors, even though everything installed fine, the 14.41 RC1s, never reported any (got the green tick after the install).

Although there is now a Known Issue section, it would be far better to have a formal bugtracker so I can add information or comfirmation to existing bugs. For example, the Simcity 4 bug might because of a very stupid reason. The graphic rules.sgr of Simcity 4 specifies this

# The Radeon series has a very slow path for partial # depth buffer copies. This has apparently been # fixed for 9500 and later models in the latest drivers, # but cannot be fixed on previous Radeons because of # hardware limitations. # NOTE: disabling this rule unnecessarily may lead to # very poor graphics performance. partialRule "Radeon" stringMatch cardIdentity "*Radeon*" partialRule "SlowSubrectDepthCopy" -any stringMatch cardIdentity "*7?00*" stringMatch cardIdentity "*8?00*" //Irrelevant lines deleted # results in special low-impact scrolling mode. property noPartialBackingStoreCopies true # try to reduce the number of dirty rects. property dirtyRectMergeFrames 8 end

The noPartialBackingStoreCopies property can not be changed in-game,so... I bet they never expect a modern card would have name with "Radeon" and "7?00" again.. The Origin/GoG version seems to have this fixed.
