    I upgraded to the 12.2's yesterday and it helped out a compatibility issue with a game (Dawn of war II) now runs instead of crashing the driver.

    But the process of changing drivers reset my MSI Afterburner settings and I couldn't change them anymore, so I uninstalled the program, reinstalled 2.10 version, and did everything to enable overclocking (EULA statement, set unofficial overclocking mode to 1, voltage control in "profile" folder is set to 1, and edited a necessary file in the registry.

    But afterburner still will not let me change clocks or even detect the voltage.

    Anyone trying these new drivers has got any help that'd be cool

    Try the latest version here:
    http://downloads.guru3d.com/MSI-Afte...load-2859.html

    With the latest version you don't have to type out the EULA statement anymore, you just have to agree and set the unofficial overclocking etc... I had a small bug with a previous version where it detected the stock settings but that has been fixed in this version.

    Just tried that out. I copied in the EULA statement anyway because it was there, set unofficial overclocking to one, did everything. I still cannot change the clocks. It may be some software conflict but I didn't have this much trouble before I changed drivers.

    For clean installs you'll need a file that's missing from this driver. Check the guru3d ati driver forum.

    you should probably use atiman's uninstaller instead of driversweeper for this application.

    as for the 12.2 pre certified drivers, I was unable to oc at all with the original bios, both trixx and ab did not work until I flashed to the asus bios.
