@twitch, I believe the most stable right now is 12.8, never had any issues with it and I actually returned to it after installing 12.11 beta.
I'd have to agree with twitch, 12.11 beta gives me issues after installing it (coming from 12.8). I had zero issues with 12.8 and once I installed 12.11 beta, Crysis started showing some graphic issues (white dots and tearing).
Yes, I did do a clean install via safe mode-drive sweeper then install new drivers and I still got issues. I'm neither an AMD or Nvidia fan, I'm the biggest best bang for your buck card afficionado, but I do have to say that my experience from a 5770 and now my 7950 shows that AMD drivers are such a pain to update. I've also had an 8800GT and a GTX460 and I never had any issues with installing or even upgrading those drivers. I think after going through 4 cards from AMD and 5 cards from Nvidia the drivers from AMD are a PITA to upgrade, so I understand where twitch is coming from.
I guess different users just have different experiences and bashing someone for being ignorant instead of just helping someone out is something I've really started hating here at OCN. Come on people , were a community here, be adult enough to understand that there are times people are frustrated and they just want to get some help... not a tongue lashing.
Pay it forward folks!
