What ATI drivers are best please?
-
thanks for the input will try 13.9 tomorrow as I cant see 14.4 working.
-
Avoid 13.12 at all costs though.
Looks at driver version
“13.12” “F%$#!”
Downloads 14.4 -
keep us posted Fred do a comparison if you dont mind FPS with 13.12 and then 14.4 would be interesting not that I can use 14.4 but still may help others

Downloads 14.4Haw! In my personal experience 13.12 caused a 10% to 30% frame loss in BMS.

Will be interesting to see if Fred gets an increase in FPS.
I am only playing BMS at the moment so would roll back to some real old drivers if I knew I would get more FPS at the moment I drop 10 when TGP is on and can drop me to as low as 21 FPS
-
I turned off textured TV/IR within the game and it dramatically helped my frame loss with TGP. And I honestly do not notice a quality difference.
-
really well I will test this now thanks
Report back in a few
-
nope made no diff
Started at 35
turned on TGP and got 23 with and without texture tv/ir
I have played with a few options I noticed with a lot of them off I get the opposite instead of getting more FPS I get less how that works I have no idea.
-
I pretty much turn off all eye candy. No cockpit shadows, no HDR, I force 12x edge detect AA in CCC, I force 16x AF and turn them off in game. I turn off all shadows and all other options… I turn off both shader options but leave shaders checked (This made the biggest difference). I use reduced particles and low clouds.
And honestly… Maybe I’m just getting old and blind… But I do not notice a huge difference in the GFX.
With VSYNC on I RARELY dip below 60. On the maverick TE with mav camera use I may dip to 40fps.
-
I can also confirm that the Catalyst 13.9 are very stable and quick (no fps loss) driver!
Stay there mate (stk2008 ) since you can’t have the 14.4.

yep installed 13.9 and got a few more FPS not as much as I hoped but about 3-5 FPS
-
Went from 13.12 to 14.4 and went from 34 FPS to maybe 34.5. Hey, 0.5 fps!

Woo Hoo!
“Results may vary” lol
-
Results will vary with the newer drivers only with the newer cards, and then usually only with the newer software titles in my experience.
13.12 for example was absolutely solid and stable for 7xxx & R9 series cards (while AMD were bringing out innumerable betas trying to get Mantle and frame pacing to work) but clearly Pedro found them a real ‘Goat rope’ for 6xxx cards
Try 'em out and see what works for you is unfortunately still the rule of thumb, though if someone has the same card/setup as you a few screenshots of their settings do help speed up the process too.

Hey thanks for that Darkman, 14.2 driver came with my R9 280 I got today, got a slight drop to 57fps at ‘Mavericks’ training and on the ground with ‘Raining Day’ (all shaders on)……dropped to 13.12 driver and bingo!, 60 big ones,… that’s it then, I’m all sorted now.:)

Red, grab the 14.6 beta drivers from teh ATI site.
The R series cards get a big boost with them. -

-
I have a 6950 2Gb.
I’ve been using 12.6 and I was quite happy with them regarding Falcon but ARMA3 won’t work.
So I gave a try to 14.4 and ARMA works but Falcon it’s not so smooth anymore.
Before I go and try 13.9, can some one who is using 14.4 and is happy with them share his CCC gaming settings for Falcon?
Thanks!

While ATI stops updating support for old cards, there are some core fixes still worth to have. Especially if X-Plane user.
