AMD Catalyst 12.x (8.980.0 June 4) Unofficial BETA

[Final8ty]

Software Description

AMD Catalyst 12.x (8.980.0 June 4) Unofficial BETA driver

This is an unofficial 12.6 beta driver 8.98 branch, not a MAIN branch (and latest on wich they develop caps [latest would be 8.99]) like previous leaks.

So don't install caps despite the dll version they are very old and don't have latest profiles for example max payne 3 cfx and and diablo 3 cfx.
Install 12.6 cap1 instead.

So don't install the Caps included that come with this driver.

Windows 8/7 and Vista supported. Cards supported HD5000 and onwards.

These must of just came out.. Get them here


The shocker?? I CAN FINALLY PLAY USING QUAD-FIRE!!!!

Holy ****!! Just got done testing out BF3 maxed out and everything turned on in Eyefinity 6120x1080 @120hz using Quad-Fire on a 64 multiplayer server with 0 issues!!!

Crazy right? Only 5+ months to get this done.. The last 12.6 offical beta i could'nt get tri-fire to work without the cards not clocking right. These no probs.

Used the latest AB to comfirm that i'm getting 80-90% usage out of all 4 cards and all runing the same 3D clocks..

I'm in shock!!

Holy cow.. i can finally use my damn computer!

Running now, http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1672524 My QuadFire Build.
Intel 3960 @ 5Ghz
Asus Rampage IV Extreme
QuadFire 7970
X-Fi Sound Card
32GB G.Skill 2133Mhz DDR3 Quad Channel Ram 9,11,10 @ 1.65v.
3 SSDs Mushkin Enhanced Chronos 120/2x 240GB Raid 0.
3 Acer 23" 3D Ready LCDs
2x Ultra X4 1600 WATT P/S 's
MM Extension Ascension UFO Case W/ Top of the line Water cooling. Dream build!

Its now as ******* smooth as if i was playing a single monitor no ****! I'm not even currently overclocking the system at all and the cards are runing stock as i test.. Metro was always murder on my settings even when i ran the system at 5Ghz and the TriFire heavily overclocked.. Its a total dream come true and holy cow what awaits when i overclock this.

This guy was having a real hard time before.

I'm still waiting for usable drivers this year. Rolled back to 12.11 one version at a time last week to find one compatible with both games
I play. GG amd

i downloaded the 12.7beta cuz ive been on 11.2 for a while. i have big issues with diablo 3, chopping on second monitor when scrolling in chrome and driver failure when awaking from sleep but at least the driver recovers then-not blue screen. ive reinstalled twice and before ive installed all ati related files were removed. one bug thats bothering me the most is under information it reads 11.2 but the driver package reads correct.

The driver number is not a problem, most beta dont contain the reg entry of catalyst version... if you want to change it you can edit the reg
LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/ControlSet001/Control/CLASS/{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}/0001/Catalyst_Version

This dont impact anything, there's got a change on how this number report is updated and when peoples goes from different beta or old driver, it dont update forcibly.

Sadly, my 5870's are now on a desk still with the waterblock i cant no test them without wire a loop.
