Re: AMD Catalyst 10.11
Hmm that didnt seem to work...rebooted and features not there.... I know the last time it worked was with a file replacement to the installer rather than regfix
NM I fixed it, the advice was correct however some old installs in reg were the cause, see how on mine it had to be done on 0002 not 0000, so worth checking folks if you didnt do a clean install

Re: AMD Catalyst 10.11
Worth noting the only change in the mobile 10.11 is the CCC - still uses the 10.10 drivers.
I guess people we're disappointed that they didn't get a 10.9 mobile so they decided to push the 10.11 even though nothing is different.

Re: AMD Catalyst 10.11
Nvidia has re-released the Official Forceware 263.09 WHQL certified driver for Windows XP, Vista and 7. This driver is only for the new GTX 570 and GTX 580 cards. In all other respects it is identical to the previously released 263.09 driver. The driver package also contains the 9.10.0514 PhysX drivers.

AMD's Catalyst Control Center was in a desperate need of an update and today AMD is in the final stages of releasing one. We have a quick preview of the new Catalyst Control Center 2 with some mostly aesthetic changes and a few functional ones that should make frequency CCC users happy.
Drivers are a lot like couches - the more comfortable you get the further behind the styles you tend to be. And the AMD Catalyst Control Center was getting very, very comfortable. It had been quite a while since the user interface for AMD's graphics driver and while basically all of the functionality remains intact, there are interesting changes and additions worth noting.
The new Catalyst Control Center 2 will be available starting today via a 10.12 preview driver at Link Removed and they will be fielding feedback from the community going forward.
Link Removed
The first thing you will see is that the style and appearance of the driver is much improved; it looks very "Web 2.0" and modern with minimal information to overwhelm you all at one time. Driver functions are broken up into tasks now and each task is categorized and fit into various pathways. You can see categories start with displays, video improvements, gaming, performance and information panels.
Link Removed
As you progress through the menus you'll see a breadcrumb of your path: in the image above we went from Start to Desktops and Displays and then are currently in the Desktop Properties. You can click anywhere in that breadcrumb trail to return back to the menu or submenu desired.
Link Removed
Inside many of the sections of the updated Catalyst Control Center 2 will look very familiar, like our Desktop Properties section here where you can adjust resolutions, color depths, etc. Also, notice that green pushpin icon on the upper right hand corner of the current section? That allows you to "pin" your frequently used or modified areas into the left hand bar under the pinned label. Here you see we have pinned the "Desktop Properties" section since we frequently are going to change our display resolution.
Link Removed
Pretty much everything you love from previous versions is still included - and in this case it looks kind of odd as the interface for the Overdrive section hasn't been updated.
Link Removed
In the standard mode, changing the gaming settings for anti-aliasing, filtering and more are done on an individual basis.
Link Removed
Of course, there is an advanced view, though it is not enabled by default.
Link Removed
The advanced view is likely what most of our readers are interested in. Essentially this takes all the menu paths and breaks it down into collapsible menus accessed with just a few clicks. And, as we hoped, you can still get to all the AA/AF/AI options in a single screen if you want for tweaking by experienced users.
Even in the advanced mode you can utilize the pinned items and presets.
Link Removed
Presets give the user the ability to save collections of settings to quickly switch between should the need arise. Do you often take your notebook or PC between your office and your TV for a HTPC setup? Not only can you access the presets in the CCC but you can also set them to be enabled via the start menu, the system tray menu or even a hotkey combination.
Link Removed
AMD also for an icon-only view of the advanced version of the new CCC2.
Link Removed
Finally, another great addition to the control panel is the addition of a search field that can help you quickly find a setting even if you can't remember the path to take to get to it manually. This could be very handy for occasional users.
Closing Thoughts
We only got to spend a few hours with the new Catalyst Control Center 2 as we had to move on to testing other items of the GPU variety, also from AMD. (More on that soon!) There are surely additions and changed that AMD will be making as the new CCC2 evolves, and AMD is going to be soliciting your feedback on the forums of their Link Removed website. There were also some alterations made to the multi-display / Eyefinity section we will be diving into in the near future. The changes are mostly aesthetic but the latest iteration of the AMD driver package impressed us in our time with it.

Re: AMD Catalyst 10.11
That's because you have to edit the .inf for your card. Then install by pointing specifically to the .inf with the device manager.

Re: AMD Catalyst 10.11
Why would the post a driver with 10.11 and 10.12 in same package... regardless what the inf file is edit to do, nah they just the wrong driver, site was clearly just jumping the shark on this one.

Re: AMD Catalyst 10.11
AMD Catalyst 10.12 - Guru3D.com Forums
They have links to 10.12 but doesnt look like the new control centre included...
EDIT: Confirmed drivers are 10.12 but CCC is not the new one, but that can be downloaded in a few days once AMD sites got them up.

Re: AMD Catalyst 10.11
As expected, AMD has let loose the Catalyst 10.12 driver for both desktop and mobile cards, and also delivered a preview driver that includes the new CCC (Catalyst Control Centre) featuring a reworked (resizable) interface for easier navigation and use.
The Catalyst 10.12 for desktop cards includes support for the Radeon HD 2000, HD 3000, HD 4000, HD 5000 and HD 6800 series models and the Radeon HD 3000 and HD 4000 series IGPs. The release notes are currently missing.
Both the 'regular' and the CCC2-enhanced Catalyst 10.12 are available for download Link Removed . Please note that the preview driver with the new CCC comes in two packages, one for Windows Vista and one for Windows 7 (CCC2 does not work on Windows XP). We'll add the driver to our Downloads section as soon as possible.

Re: AMD Catalyst 10.11
I'm disappointed with AMD yet again. The CCC2 preview is not available for mobile cards and the standard 10.12 "driver update" actually updates nothing more than the install manager. Uses the same drivers and CCC.
nVidia has always been a far superior company in my mind.

Re: AMD Catalyst 10.11
One thing that slightly annoys me is that they didn't force the AMD Catalyst™ Accelerated Parallel Processing (APP) Technology Edition as the default driver by now, tbh it's a bit of a hassle to have to download the APP edition then get the CCC2 separately. That said all installed and running fine now finally...lol nice to see that animorphic mode is in the new CCC2 by default, no need to hack it in for 5000 series GPUs.

Re: AMD Catalyst 10.11
darn scratch that animorphic isn't in, sure i seen it before added APP edition on CCC2, that said if ya using the RadeonPro tool that certainly has the feature listed to force on or off as required.
