AMD Catalyst 12.7 BETA Benchmark

AMD Catalyst Benchmark Logo

Posted on June 21, 2012 at 2:42 PM in Benchmarks

AMD Catalyst 12.7 Beta comes 6th in our top but the differences in performance between this and 12.6 9.00 Beta June 12 are less than 80 points so these two drivers that were born on the same day are pretty close to each other.

There’s a “known issue” with all 12.6 BETAs, OC issues that I can’t seem to be able to even reproduce. I’ve overclocked just fine with this driver and with all the other 12.6 drivers. I’ve tried everything I could (differnet driver installation, driver on top of the other, different OSs) to try to replicate the issue but I just couldn’t… These kinds of issues are random and the problem could be the driver itself or between the chair and the monitor (if you get my drift). There’s no way in hell I can cover all the basis (for now) so that’s why I stick with performance (again, for now).

  • Luke

    Great test, and great drivers!

  • Felipi

    Driver crash with skyrim in ultra mode on HD6850 windows 7 sp1 x64.

      Where exactly is the game crashing for you? I don’t have any issues with Skyrim…

      • EtaYorius

        I am getting Crash with these drivers just right after the loading screens, everything goes black and the music keeps going, but the game will not respond at all.

    • progste

      do you have mods installed? maybe those are causing the crash

    • Andy

      I have the exact same problem, got a 6850 on Windows 7 x64 SP1, I try to load the game and 3 seconds into the black loading it freezes for a moment and then crashes to the desktop.

  • Colonel Faulkner

    I assume with a 6950 I can still keep ‘em 8.97 18 April drivers, can’t I?

    • http://benchmark3d.com Johnny 3D

      Yes you can.

  • ahmed

  • steve

    You know you might pull off better results using an AMD CPU instead of an Intel processor just a suggestion.

    • http://benchmark3d.com Johnny 3D

      The CPU has nothing to do with what I do here. I’m testing drivers and not CPUs… the 2500k is perfect for now.
