AMD Catalyst 12.11 Beta11 is now available, and includes the following updates:

(Please note that AMD Catalyst 12.11 Beta11 includes all of the fixes found in previous versions of AMD Catalyst 12.11 Beta)

  • Improves performance in Far Cry 3 (up to 25% with 8xMSAA, SSAO enabled @ 1600p, and up to 15% with 8xMSAA, HDAO enabled @1600p) (AMD Catalyst 12.11 CAP2 must also be installed)
  • Resolves a sporadic system hang encountered with a single AMD Radeon HD 7000 Series GPU seen on X58 and X79 chipsets.
  • Resolves an intermittent hang encountered with AMD Radeon HD 7000 Series GPUs in a CrossFire Eyefinity setup.
  • Resolves image corruption found in certain DirectX 9.0c titles
  • Resolve missing fonts issue in XBMC
  • Resolves no video issue found in Media Player Classic Home Cinema when using full or half floating point processing
  • Resolves stability issues found in the previous AMD Catalyst 12.11 Beta8 driver for Linux
  • For users experiencing issues with HDMI Audio under Ubuntu 12.04, users should try installing the ?dkms-hda - 0.201211291615~precise1? package from https://code.launchp...daily/+packages and reboot; this will resolve the HDMI Audio issue found in Ubuntu 12.04

Too bad that AMD still isn't supporting Radeon HD 7450 - yes it is an OEM card but equally I expect AMD to fully support all the GPU's that they put out there.

Is this a desktop or Mobility chipset part?

(It's a fair question; Mobility part support has been spotty, as is the case with built-in (to CPU or chipset) GPU support - HD4200 - a chipset-based GPU part common to both notebooks and desktops, was left badly in the lurch, while HD54xx support (this is a Mobility GPU that also shows up in fanless desktop clothes) has been rock-solid for the most part; in fact, it's been supported by every 12.11 beta to date.)

Okay - why .NET Framework 4? Simple - this is a unified (Vista and later) driver; while Windows 8 includes .NET Framework 4 as part of the OS core, neither 7 or Vista do. This version of CCC *requires* .NET Framework 4 or later - hence it's inclusion for OSes earlier than 8.

(NOTE - this same driver also applies to Windows Server 2003R2 and later; yes, including Server 2012 - regardless of whether the Desktop Experience is installed or not.

Yes. I just don't see the point of offering the other driver for 8 since .net 2/3/3.5 aren't installed by default in 8.

Nope - it is a desktop chip. It is an OEM chip that is sold through Lenovo, HP etc. along with video card vendors too thus you're dependent upon the OEM to provide the driver rather than the GPU vendor.

    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By zikalify · Posted

      You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      By zikalify · Posted

      OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By excalpius · Posted

      The only difference here is that you think you came up with these reasons. You didn't. These age old fearmongering lies (that were NEVER true) were funded by and the anger stoked by Putin through proxies like Farage (and later in the USA, Trump) and filtered down through the skinheads, Neonazis, etc. until it reached the uninformed, ignorant, and gullible -- never realizing they were being played for fools against their own best interests. Even now, despite all of the EVIDENCE proving that Brexit was a terrible mistake for ALL citizens of the UK and that its supporters were tricked by Putin's proxies into sabotaging their own nation, you're still here defending these well-known lies as if they were ever true. Not only are they not true. They NEVER were. So, when are you going to realize that you were lied to and actually get angry at the liars and charlatans who lied to you, instead of blaming the innocent people they lied to you about?
