I've been stuck on RC11 forever with my 3 7970s... I've tried every driver since RC11 and none will work for me. I suppose I'll try to add the extra files this time for MSI AB.

Step by step for those having trouble installing new drivers. This is a little long but worth it.
  • Go to the control panel/ programs and uninstall ALL AMD software.
  • Once that has completed, reboot your machine.
  • Then run ATIMAN and run (A) un-install, let it reboot and do the rest.
  • Then run Driver Cleaner and select ALL ATI products and run it. It did find a decent amount of stuff ATIMAN did not find.
  • Reboot and then run the new driver installation. You may get an error saying "Driver Install: the INF file was not found" this was removed by Driver Cleaner.
  • Go to device manager, select your cards and manually point the update driver to the ATI folder with the new drivers and make sure you let it search the sub folders.
  • Once windows installs the drivers, reboot your machine.
  • Go back to the control panel/programs and open the ATI software and select remove ALL software again (it will still install even when you get the INF error)
  • Reboot your machine, run the new driver pack again, it should install flawlessly this time. If you have 3 monitors, don't worry, they will flicker probably about 11 times and "dadoop" sound from windows.
  • Once they complete, reboot and you should be gold.
I was able to set up Eyefinity without ANY issue like last time I tried installing them. No errors, crashes or BSODs. BF3 started up without a hitch. I haven't tried any other games so it's not my fault if they don't work for you.
I am running 5996x1080 @ ULTRA everything, Anti Def off, ANTI Post High, Blur off, 16 AF and I am running 8X AA standard in CCC + AA Adaptive Multi Sample and I am not getting under 60 (vsync on) on campaign mode on Operation Guillotine. This is running at stock clocks on CPU (3.4/4) and 7950 (800/1250X2).
If you do this and it does work for you, please give me some rep wink.gif

Delete these folders;
  • C:\user\Program files\ ATI & AMD.
  • C:\user\Program files (x86)\ ATI & AMD.
  • C:\user\ProgramData\ATI & AMD (need to show hidden files).

All i wanted was having a card that i can use properly until non-reference 680s comes. I am so sick of having issues with this card. Anyone who is having same issues (driver stops responding if card is oced, youtube/flash videos making card stuck at 500mhz and such) can say if this new driver is working and fixing the issues above ?

Unfortunately, I have to say that only problems I have ever had with display drivers, has been on nVidia. Flash does not work on any card correctly, but that is totally different story. So I believe this driver doesn't solve problems you are having.

Do not use driver cleaner on Win7 and don't use ATIMan either. Only use Driver Sweeper from http://phyxion.net/item/driver-sweeper.html not the outdated version from Guru3D. It does not have any problems with AMD CPU systems either like the old versions did.

12.4 has only caused one issue with my setup....

Since the install, HWiNFO64 shows that my MSI Afterburner overclock is not being utilised..... funny thing is, the custom fan profile still works, just not the overclock....

I wouldn't have known this just by looking at Afterburner, as it reports no problems and shows my intended overclock....

tried uninstalling afterburner and installing again, but overclock still doesn't work....

anyone else having this problem?
