Ok so I'm confused, and finally made an account here to ask this; correct me if i'm wrong but why does the AMD driver support OpenGL 4.3 a year after Nvidia added their support and exactly on the day OpenGL 4.4 makes its appearance. Where they like; O crap, thats something else we should have done ages ago. I'm reading that Nvidia has already released a beta with 4.4 support. (v326.29) And here I was thinking; damn, the AMD driver team is actually picking up the pace and showing people what they can do. Now is someone please going to correct me and tell me i'm wrong or am I unfortunately right?

11% On heaven, that is pretty impressive, even though just a benchmark.

you're right . . .

http://www.overclock.net/t/1410755/nvidia-326-19-beta-is-out

http://www.overclock.net/t/1411927/nvidia-326-29-beta

that's prolly why their having issues left and right. just guessing. i'll stick with a driver that let me play all my games.

Welcome to OCN.

Installed, no issues so far.

SO it seems that AMD is outright going after anyone who is doing any downsampling. Now the work around to downsample, by installing the 12.11 drivers and then these on top, no longer works. It clears out any custom resolutions you may have had.

So they won't support it naively and then they go out of their way to stop people from doing it by other means.

I to would like to know this...

These partial and backwards new? Beta Drivers are a bit odd.
Basically the same reason I think so little has been made of these and why so many of us aren't event trying them out. Now, lets get back to watching tumble weed roll by......

13.6 B2 is still there, has been for 2 months now.
AMD rarely puts these sort of drivers (ones that exist to enable niche functionality for validation/testing purposes) on their main download page, this isn't new.

No, it's not.

13.6 and 13.150.100.1 also aren't referring to the same thing.

13.6 is year 2013, month 6.

13.150.100.1 is the driver build version.

In both cases the number after the decimal separators is a whole number, not a fraction. 12.11 is twelve point eleven, not twelve and 11/100ths, and is a later number than 12.6.

Could be variable GPU frequency. But how can i fix this. Every driver is the same.

HL2 doesn't require a lot of GPU power at all, that's why your GPU core/memory clock-down since it doesn't need full speed to run the game.

I think you can force a constant 3D GPU clock under 'power option' in control panel.

Yeah, but in some scenes are some reflections or fog ant it jumps to 1000 or 500 Mhz.

I cant's see any options for GPU in Control Panel.
And CCC has no settings for constant GPU Frequency.

BTW, I submited this mess to AMD 6 ( if not more) months ago. And with every new driver HL2 runs like ass.

Runs like ass?

I must be missing something. Those screens you posted show a consistent 60 frames per second. Are you saying it's running like ass just because it's going from 500MHz to 1GHz, or are there real stutter and/or frametime issues?

It sounds like you're just complaining about saving electricity.

Edit: Anyway, to answer your question about how to force constant clocks, I believe there are options for that in MSI Afterburner. Alternatively, you could increase your frame limit in HL2 from 60 to 120, or 200, or whatever it takes to keep your 7970 from sleeping while you're playing it. I just can't imagine why you'd want to make the GPU work harder than it needs to; I've never had issues with my 7970's state-changing.

Look at frame time. And it's in 1 minute of gameplay. It stutters like hell. Especially in scenes with a lot of shadows.

I tried with 8xMSAA and no luck.
And i don't care about GPU Usage and saving electricity.
I just want smooth gameplay.
MSI Afterburner can force constant voltage, but it's for OC i think, because it doesn't help in my case. It's the same crap.

Well, there's a slight chance that the upcoming driver release could fix it, since they've promised to address frame pacing. Outside of that, my original suggestion should work. Set the game to maintain a higher framerate than 60, and you should be able to challenge the GPU enough to keep it from sleeping. You can do this via a cfg file, I'm sure, or buy using RadeonPro's adaptive v-sync.
