Title: AMD Catalyst 12.x Drivers Post by: mc_lovin on January 06, 2012, 02:31:06 AM I see AMD released a 12.1a preview driver (http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/Catalyst121apreviewdriver.aspx), has anyone tried this? Wondering if there would be any performance differences with mining.
Title: Re: AMD Catalyst 12.x Drivers Post by: deepceleron on January 06, 2012, 07:35:48 AM AMD appeared to already be silently updating the previous preview release, the version of it that I downloaded two days ago had Stream SDK 10.0.851.4 instead of 10.0.851.3. This release has 10.0.851.6. The Stream SDK/OpenCL version is what makes a difference in mining, and I doubt there will be many changes in the new 2.6 architecture (not like the huge changes from 2.5 to 2.6) now since it is not a preview, it is the current developer SDK.
Tested: Identical mining performance to previous preview. |
