Thanks for the heads up!

Any new CAPS to go with these too?

Not that I know of yet unless there are any new ones in the drivers themselves

12.11 CAP2 still on AMDs site

Change log with the direct link or no direct link. It's polite if anything

Changelog always goes live later than the drivers

Hmm. I'm getting an error installing the HDMI audio driver with these. Tried installing over old drivers aswell as a clean install after removing the old drivers.

EDIT

Lol, the HDMI audio driver (for Windows 8 at least) has the 32-bit version in the 64-bit package and the 64-bit version in the 32-bit package. ><

That'll be why then.

Couldn't we extract the drivers from the 32bit version (and vice-versa) and replace them in the folder then install?

If you turn off driver signing, yes. Only the certificate from the 32-bit version is there in both packages. Quite sloppy by AMD if you ask me.

That's hilarious. hahaha. I'd ask how that gets by testing in the first place, but that would imply they still have a testing department. :D

nice find

do you recommend me using the mobility version for my laptop?

AMD A8 w/ HD 6620 G processor

That is an APU right?

Haven't had any experience with them. Check out http://forum.notebookreview.com/ for suggestions on your driver. I would go ahead and try but I am honestly not familiar with your config.

Also what is the HydraVision package guys?! I have skipped 6 months of releases.

Yes. Apparently they house both the quadcores and GPU in the whole package. quite honestly, I like it. I'm sure there would be horrible bottleneck issues had the GPU been a separate graphic card itself. only downside issue would be the inability to change out GPU's like in the older days of my desktop

Doesn't look like there should be any issues of installing it. The only thing I can think of is the Laptop OEM drivers that might be adjusted better towards your config like Deranged mentioned.

Personally I have to deal with a whole other ball game. Intel HD + AMD drivers need to be in the same package and if the OEM doesn't update the driver for at least a new iteration of windows then you are stuck with having to hack together drivers through different methods.

I think the x64 HDMI audio driver issue only happens on Win8. I installed the Win7 one fine in win8. But...how the hell did that get past testing :p

Same, flawless installation for me running 7

I guess AMD do have some sense and don't run Win 8 :p

Yeah, I got the HDMI Audio Driver error on Windows 8 x64. I don't use HDMI audio anyway so not much of a big deal for me personally, but how that managed to get into the final version is beyond me :/

Not that many improvements it doesn't look like for my 6870, mainly fixes. There's been a bit of micro-stuttering with FIFA 13 but everything else seems just as before.

      Yes, it was amusing at the time because even then dbrand was well known for stealing the designs of products from other companies. That’s what they do.

      Didn’t Dbrand once complain that Casetify was ripping off their designs a well? seems pretty bad of them to try and get around Valve’s copyright this way with that in mind.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed by David Uzondu Image via Dbrand Dbrand has cancelled its highly anticipated Companion Cube enclosure for the Valve Steam Machine, which it teased back in November of last year with a concept render and sign-up page, because it did not ask Valve for permission first before manufacturing the case. According to Dbrand, it took the "backwards approach" of building the product first before asking for permission from the copyright holder. Seven months of work went into the project, requiring over a thousand engineering hours from the design team. Workers developed forty-four sets of injection molding tools, making a unique mold for each sub-component of the crate. When the Companion Cube went live on Monday last week, it, according to Dbrand, quickly became the second-fastest-selling product in the company's fifteen-year history, racking up orders for hundreds of thousands of units. Customers eagerly bought the $129.95 deluxe edition or the bare-bones $99.95 version, which the manufacturer cheekily branded as the "Poverty Cube". It was around this time that the legal eagles at Valve descended on the accessory maker with a formal demand. The developer pointed out that the iconic block design remains protected intellectual property from the game Portal, so unlicensed sales had to stop. Dbrand said that all its pleas to salvage the project with the Valve team, including proposals to run a properly licensed release under official terms "with their blessing", fell on deaf ears, so it had no choice but to obey and remove every trace of the product from the internet. If you bought the enclosure, the company said that banks will process your refund by the end of this week, but if it still hasn't arrived in your account by then, you should not hesitate to contact support. The Steam Machine itself is a high-performance console that Valve designed directly to bring PC gaming into the living room. It was announced on 12th November 2025 (the same day Dbrand announced the Cube) and runs on the Linux-based SteamOS, the same OS that powers the Steam Deck. As for the price, due to the shortage of memory and storage chips, the hardware cost landed much higher than people were expecting, starting at $1,049 for the 512 model (without a controller) or $1,128 with the new gamepad. The premium 2 TB model pushes those prices even higher, selling at $1,349 for the standalone console and hitting $1,428 if you want the bundle.
