Title: 79xx Performance with 12.11 drivers? Post by: fankih on October 24, 2012, 07:47:25 AM I have read from the reviews that 12.11 has given 1-20% fps boost in games for the new 7xxx series.
Has anyone tried how it affects to mining? Any improvement in Mhash? Title: Re: 79xx Performance with 12.11 drivers? Post by: Vdizz on October 24, 2012, 03:58:47 PM 7970x2 improved my gaming performance by 6-7%. Same 1300MH/s as with 12.8. Wish it was the other way around.
Title: Re: 79xx Performance with 12.11 drivers? Post by: Jack1Rip1BurnIt on October 24, 2012, 06:40:20 PM I thought it was 11.12 RC drivers that people said were saying gave such good results? I couldn't find any download links to those initial drivers that amd released for the 7900 series so I am using 12.8. Some have said that those old drivers can be found on driver cd's included with reference cards but I don't have one. Hopefully 12.8 is pretty much the best.
Title: Re: 79xx Performance with 12.11 drivers? Post by: crazyates on October 24, 2012, 06:42:39 PM I noticed a few MH/s bump by going from 12.8 to 12.10. Very small, tho. I havn't tried 12.11.
Title: Re: 79xx Performance with 12.11 drivers? Post by: Meatball on October 25, 2012, 12:45:53 AM Going from 12.8 to 12.11 actually has made my machine unstable as heck. I used to be able to run cgminer with Intensity 5 and play games at the same time. With 12.11, even at Intensity 1 the video driver crashes after about 5 minutes of gaming.

Title: Re: 79xx Performance with 12.11 drivers? Post by: Meatball on October 25, 2012, 01:51:46 PM 12.11 is a mess mining-wise. I get all sorts of artifacts while mining on my screens even if I'm not overclocking the GPU. I rolled back.
Title: Re: 79xx Performance with 12.11 drivers? Post by: Jack1Rip1BurnIt on October 25, 2012, 05:02:57 PM Just tried 12.10 for about 5 minutes and got about 20 hardware errors. Reverted back to 12.8, probably for the duration.

That happens with me with 12.10. I have to disable any GPU mining to play any game. CGMiner and my Single are still going, but my GPU isn't being used. Title: Re: 79xx Performance with 12.11 drivers? Post by: Saturn7 on October 26, 2012, 02:06:49 PM I installed 12.11 from 12.8 and now my cataylst manager won't show up when I click on it.
But my 3dmark vantage score went from x2800 to x4800, probably because they fixed crossfire setup in these drivers. Title: Re: 79xx Performance with 12.11 drivers? Post by: Hippie Tech on November 06, 2012, 10:00:12 PM I've tried every set from 12.3 on with my 7870 and am hard pressed to see any difference with mining.
With 3dmark11, the 12.11's boosted my graphics and p scores considerably. xD 12.7 beta = P7078, graphics 7332 12.11 beta = P7877, graphics 8523 http://www.hwbot.org/submission/2326211_ Title: Re: 79xx Performance with 12.11 drivers? Post by: DiCE1904 on November 06, 2012, 10:25:49 PM I havnt seen any changes on my 7970 with 12.11 :-\
Title: Re: 79xx Performance with 12.11 drivers? Post by: mariokiller64 on November 07, 2012, 02:29:20 AM The 12.11 made my 7950 from 620MH/s to 550-600 AND it was completely unstable and my screen was filled with artifacts.
Back to 12.8 for me until it's stable. Title: Re: 79xx Performance with 12.11 drivers? Post by: thirdchance57 on November 07, 2012, 03:37:17 AM big fps improvement with my 7970m updating 12.11 8)
Title: Re: 79xx Performance with 12.11 drivers? Post by: AfricanHunter on November 08, 2012, 12:40:00 AM I updated mine and havent seen a noticeable difference when mining
Title: Re: 79xx Performance with 12.11 drivers? Post by: Hippie Tech on November 08, 2012, 11:13:10 PM It seems the beta6 set cost me 1-2 mhash/s ...
A reboot may fix that.. 1275mhz 7870 miner 4 U ;D http://img.techpowerup.org/121108/1275 miner fxd078.jpg Title: Re: 79xx Performance with 12.11 drivers? Post by: Fiyasko on November 13, 2012, 02:52:30 PM 12.11 is a FUCKING mess, Your gonna be uninstalling it 30seconds after you turn your miner on. Dont even go near it yet.
I still use 12.8 because for whatever reason, Using 12.10 makes my mining while gaming nearly undoable, Touhou FULL NEVER DROPPING fps needs Intensity 6 on 12.8 But on 12.10 i need the intensity as low as 2 so that the framerate doesnt drop (Touhou is a game where its nearly Mandatory to have a Locked framerate) Of BF3 it's Intensity 3 for 12.8, And intensity 1 or Crash for 12.10 |
