i updated from 12.7 to 12.8 and the difference in bf3 and syrim + max payne3 is very noticeable
we are talking 4-5 fps in bf3, 10 fps (yes 10) in skyrim and another 4-5 fps in max payne 3
great update
thanks amd !

Yes... I can confirm as well. 12.8 seems to be a very good driver.

In my case, Max Payne 3 has become slower.

how is that possible?
12.8 enabled me to use tessalation very high
what setings are you using?
i play @ 1600x900 all settings very high, shadows at high and tessalation at high with 40-50 fps(yes i now a huge margin) with a hd 6770 (see my siggy for details)

Really !! AMD has this amazing Driver out. I used to get 52 FPS with my MSi HD 6770 MD1GD5 (No OC) and now I get around 67 FPS ! Huge difference !

Guys I'm facing BSOD issues after updating to 12.8....It shows BSOD after Welcome screen

 

[topgear]

what gfx card do you have ?? try removing the dirver from safe mode/ run driver sweeper in safe mode as well and re-install only the driver using custom install mode.

I have 6770m 2GB DDR5 in hp dv6 6121tx..Actually I've heard that 12.8 doesnt support switchable graphics.

 

[topgear]
