Catalyst 12.8 Gave me 40mh/s on my 7950

[kuusj98]

Oops, 12.11 IS indeed a mess
Mining on my HD7850 went from 360mh/s to 220 mh/s 0_0

While I now get 70fps stable on ultra in BF3 its just not right...
Also It seems that I cant push the core to 1200 mhz anymore, its more like 1140 mhz :/

When mining I get strange artifacts around the screen, small black blocks all over the screen while browsing normally...
So in one smiley:

God,I hate ATI drivers 

I can't wait for the ASIC's to arrive,so I can go back to Nvidia.....................

I actually switched back to 12.8. But CGMiner rebuilt my kernel with the new OCL runtime, and I kept my slight speed increase. Now I'm getting 630MH/s instead of 623MH/s. 7970 @ 1050,410.

+1 to this.  I'm so sick of fighting AMD/ATI cards and their drivers.

Was the jump back easy or was it as much as a pain as it usually is (driver sweeping)
Could you just use the Uninstall, And then Install the older? (ofcourse afterdoing the CGMiner kernal trick)

[Jack1Rip1BurnIt]

After you install 12.10 check to see if it works and gives you better performance, because on my 3x 7950 rig(windows 7 64 bit) I'm getting a good boost but on my single 7970 rig(windows 7 32bit) I can't even run cgminer without constant hw errors. If it doesn't work just uninstall and restart, then install the older 12.8. No sweeping because you want the new ocl to be inbedded to run with the older drivers.

10 or 11beta?
I thought 11beta had the buggy boost

[Cablez]

You don't need to worry about the buggy drivers just add it or leave the new OCL driver on uninstall.

I can confirm a small increase using 12.8 with the 12.11 OCL driver. Looks like 616Mh/s @1025Mhz on 7970s.

On 12.11 i get 555mh/s with CGMiner Diablo, v1 w256 I:7 using a 7950

You may want to switch that over to poclbm and see if that gives you more hashes.

I actually never uninstalled anything. Go into device manager, right click on ur GPU, and update driver software. Click browse my computer, and then let me pick from a list. I choose the 8.982 driver, and then rebooted. No hassle at all, and took me 3 minutes.
