AMD Catalyst

Just yesterday a driver from 8.95 branch leaked that was built on January 03 2012. To test this 8.95 driver I will compare it to AMD Catalyst 11.12 WHQL and AMD Catalyst 11.12a Preview. On this page you will find all information about drivers and methodology. Tested Drivers and Information Prior to installing a driver, ...

AMD Catalyst

A few hours ago a new AMD Catalyst 11.12 8.921.2 build leaked on the Internet. The previous version of 8.921.2 driver was built on 15 December and this one that just leaked is built on 19 December. Both packages have the same versions of 2D, 3D and OpenGL drivers. The best way to see if ...

AMD Catalyst

Another 8.94 AMD Driver leaked a couple of days ago. This one was built on 22 December (vs 20 December) and has a newer OpenGL Component 6.14.10.11470 (vs 6.14.10.11463). This 8.94 AMD driver will probably be the next AMD Catalyst 12.2. I’m pretty sure we won’t see any improvements over the last 8.94 drivers, probably ...

AMD Catalyst

Another AMD driver leaked today, the number of leaked AMD drivers is too damn high. Built on 20 December 2011, this one seems to be the first from the 8.94 branch of drivers. Unfortunately this 8.94 driver doesn’t come with CCC and you will have to install one yourself, I installed the one found in ...

AMD Catalyst

The driver used by AMD to test the upcoming HD7000 Graphics Cards has leaked. Initially the driver had support for only a few cards (5700,5800,5900,6700,6800,6900,7000) but asder00 modded the driver so anyone with a AMD graphics card could install them. The driver was built on 15th December 2011 but only the 3D Driver component is ...

AMD Catalyst

Just thought of this, if we see a 1% (on average) performance improvement with every AMD WHQL Driver this means that a year old driver should perform about 12% worse… I checked for the first driver to have support for 6950 and found this one: AMD Catalyst 11.1. I guess it would be interesting and ...

AMD Catalyst

AMD Catalyst 11.12 WHQL is just the 11.12 Beta driver built on 03 December and leaked exactly one week ago. But I haven’t included the 03 Dec driver as it is not relevant. Most important thing is to see improvements over last month’s 11.11 WHQL. Also included 12.1 Preview as this will be the next ...

AMD Catalyst

AMD just released yet another preview driver. This one is called AMD Catalyst 12.1 Preview Driver and it’s obvious that it has newer components than all the other 11.12 Beta drivers. Previous tests showed that 11.12 Beta 18 Nov is the best driver to be released by AMD in at least 1 month so I ...

AMD Catalyst

I’ve been working on this one for quite a while, ( I had to interrupt testing because of some personal stuff ) the results of these tests will give you a good idea of what drivers to use depending on games (recent or old) you currently play. I haven’t encountered any issues with any of ...

Assassins Creed Revelations

Assassins Creed Revelations was developed using the Anvil engine, the same engine used for all previous titles in the series; in the first game the same engine was called Scimitar. The game was developed by Ubisoft studios from around the world but the main one is located in Montreal. Assassins Creed Revelations is the last ...
