I hope these fix my disappearing Overdrive bug. Looks like many are downloading these right now because i usually get 10x this dl speed when downloading drivers from AMD. Right now at 900kbps.

Edit: Still having the disappearing overdrive bug with these drivers. Has anyone else had this and managed to fix it? If yes then how?

Edit2: Fixed it by running CCC as admin. I thought it ran as admin by default.

AMD just posted this on there facebook page:

Some say we deserve a Medal of Honor for releasing the Never Settle driver with such Hitman-levels of precision performance it unlocks. But we can't simply let Sleeping Dogs lie even though what we've demonstrated is a Far Cry from our usual update.
For AMD Radeon™ HD 5000, HD 6000 and HD 7000 Series users, Microsoft® has certified today's AMD Catalyst™ 12.10 release as "compatible with Windows 8." With this driver, these products offer full support for WDDM 1.2, which is an updated model for graphics drivers that Microsoft has developed to ensure smooth performance and wide compatibility in their new operating system.
  • Target-Independent Rasterization (TIR): TIR is a new rendering path that enables superior anti-aliasing in Direct3D driver applications
  • Native Stereo 3D Support: Windows 8 natively supports stereoscopic 3D gaming and videos via compatible applications
  • Unified Video API: Video playback has been integrated into the DirectX® 11 API, enabling simultaneous video and gaming content. Transcoding performance may also be improved for supporting applications.
  • Optimized screen rotation for rotation aware devices
  • Improved sleep/resume performance
  • Optimized GPU power consumption
  • Major technologies / features also supported under Windows 8:
  • AMD Eyefinity technology
  • OpenCL™

  • Unified Video Decoder (UVD)
  • AMD Dual Graphics
  • AMD CrossFire technology
  • AMD Overdrive
  • AMD Catalyst Control Center

For more advanced users, we are also making the AMD Catalyst™ 12.11 Beta available today. This driver introduces significant performance improvements for many games across ALL 28nm AMD Radeon™ HD 7000 Series products: HD 7700, HD 7800 and HD 7900.

Check out our blog posting on Catalyst 12.11 Beta for more information. Highlights of AMD Catalyst™ 12.11 Beta. Performance gains seen on the entire AMD Radeon HD 7000 Series:

Ok great, how long will it take to fix do you think?

I guess that will have to do in the meantime, thanks.

Is there an ETA on the fix. I am not installing anything till theres a fix. Kind of sick of AMD drivers IMO theres always something up but I need more performance from my 7970
