Word of caution...

Doesn't seem to work on my Windows 7 x64 install. Comes up saying some miniport driver is unsigned and cannot run due to that. It also BSOD'd mid-way when I first attempted to install.

Maybe I've ruined my OS now...

Time to see if they fixed the eyefinity bug yet on 6870s yet or not...

Update: No problems installing it on Win 7 64bit Professional.

Update2: Still doesnt go into idle mode when running eyefinity

Maybe because I'm running SP1

Oh well, 10.12s still installed fine. I'll live with it for now. Not like my old 5870 is getting any fixes at this point.

Wha? How...

You must be running a pre-release RTM build?

Yeah, it's the RTM build, but from non-proper channels ;) But I like testing out new software before everybody else...even if I means I end up having to a bit.

But let's not de-rail the thread now...

-Needs Fix
since the 10.12's, i still get this thing where my mouse pointer slows down over the close button (X) on maximized windows. still an issue with the new 11.1's.


-Overclocking
with the 10.12's, when i overclocked my 5770, the idle clocks would only sometimes jump to 400MHz core / 900MHz memory raising my idle temps by 5+ degrees. it hasn't done it with the 11.1's... yet. hopefully that has been fixed since 10.12's.

-Screen Flickering @ Shutdown/Restart
after buying a new monitor couple months ago (ASUS VE247), i was getting BSOD's and screen flickers when shutting down or restarting my computer. i exchanged (plus cash) for a new monitor (Samsung BX2431), and it did the same. i said eff it and bought an HDMI cable cuz i hated the DVI > HDMI adapter cable, and the flickering went away. for the BSOD's i had to expand and replace an atixxx.dll in the system32 folder using command prompt, and that was fixed. my old monitor did not flicker or cause BSOD's (Samsung 2253BW w/DVI)... strange.

To AMD, thank you for forgetting about people with anything but 6800 and 6900 series cards.

The 6870 got forgotten as well, look at all the complaints about drivers i've had throughout several threads. The 11.1 still dont fix some of the innate issues (crossfire) since their release.

After installing the driver 11.1, it still shows that 10.12 is the version running...GPU-Z and CCC are saying the same thing... 5870 here also...

Puzzling. Maybe it's an issue with 5870s then...

Maybe try doing a full uninstall and re-install of 11.1s?
