never settle amd 12.11 game bundles

[KiSUAN]

The performance increases for the mobile parts are.....shocking!

Any review around for mobile or just impressions from your usage?

glad to see 12.11 brought the smoke and shadow into a more realistic appearance too

Even the water-humidity in the deck is way better-detailed, thanks to the trolls for pointing this improvements.

Downloaded and installed. My 7870 loves it

what improvements??
Are you guys blind?
12.11

12.8

[Greg83]

not the same angels thus not same scene. so we gotta compare the details of other objects at further distance obviously. which show, smoke is more detailed, shadows are more detailed and less blob like.
water droplets are more detailed and actually divide instead of some light show effect
the grains of the ground are further "de-interlanced" and less "sharpened" which made it look unrealistic in 12.8 vs 12.11
grains in 12.11 are more detailed and less sharpening effect like 12.8 is appearing
even the caps on the ground are higher detailed

let me guess, you find the sharpening effects on the surface texture of the ground of 12.8 to mean detailed?

I scrolled between those 2 pictures for like 2 minutes. I'm what you're talking about, man. Looks pretty much the same (If not better - clearer) to me...

I must totally be missing something because I don't see any difference other than slightly sharper textures with the 12.11 drivers....

[LightSpeed]

Same here. And when it gets into such minute differences like that, ill happily take an extra 25% performance any day

[hurleybird]

IRT to the first set of comparison picture, they are different scenes, and if anything the 12.11 picture looks better anyway.

The second set of comparison pictures appears to be time matched better then the first (instead of the puddle of water to the right looking different in the first set of pictures it looks practically identical) 12.11 has more smoke in the top left corner, but perhaps the smoke isn't rendered statically or it's still not the exact same scene. Other than that, not sure what I'm supposed to be looking for

[w0mbat]

There's no difference.

ooh nice ill have to try this on my laptop with a10-4600m and 7670m

[memmem]

Wow! That is a stellar game bundle!

Last bundle was a joke, I think this is the best one I've ever seen. Nicely done AMD.

Rollo,

It´s nice to see that your opinions are more balanced now (not only "NVIDIA is great"; "AMD is crap").

But I think some guys will never understand. I can´t imagine a company that does EVERYTHING wrong or EVERYTHING right.

Congratulations.

Won't do anything, unfortunately. the 7670m is based on the VLIW4 architecture. This driver only improves performance on cards based on the GCN architecture.

[Dimitriman]

I still don't know the difference between regular and NET 4.0 versions of the drivers, anyone care to explain? thanks

[tbone8ty]

i see the 7900 series bundles on newegg

where are the 7800 and 7700 series bundles?

[cowie]

If anything there is more detail on the 12.11 shot when looking at the puddle on the deck behind the other planes wing.

[SKYMTL]

I don't want to sound like a closed-minded fool but I really don't think Far Cry 3 will be installed on my computer if it means using Ubisoft's UPlay. There are SO many compatibility and stability issues with that damn thing.

[cowie]

Yes but you can sell/trade the codes to fools who do like that crap.

Looks like someone got on the horn so now matrix comes with game bundle at ne now

Let me get this straight....
nVidia sack overvolting, AMD boosting performance noticably.... Time to get a 7970 it seems!

[DilTech]

Can you test with Tessellation on instead?

It's been confirmed it will be on steam

The question is can you buy it on ubiplay and put it on steam
