Yeah, It is.

at some point I will clean drivers again and try it once more. but for now I'm just giving it a break.

yeah works fine for me, i got about a good 15-20fps boost in dirt 2 with my 5970, only minor problem occured when installing 9.12 with eyefinity enabled, just disabled eyefinity and disconnected 2 monitors and worked fine - no biggie though.

I cant remember. Did that hotfix contain the whole enchilada. driver/ and CCC ??

Ok, here I go again. :| . I just cant stand it. I got to try once more

Ok , sorry for the triple post, but just want to report. what i have done.

Disabled Eyefinity/ unplug DP/USB and 1 DVI.

I uninstalled from control panel first through Catalyst Install manger. /Rebooted / Driver and CCC still present after going though Uninstall manager through windows ? weird.

Use driver sweeper mark and remove all ATI driver files listed. / Reboot / drivers are gone now/ prompted that no ATI drivers present. and should install drivers.

Look in all programs and still see CCC listed. also see Catalyst install manager listed in add/remove programs in windows. I go ahead and run through uninstall process again through Caytalyst install manager/ successful uninstall of CCC and catalyst install manager / reboot / Run driver sweeper again./ remove last 2 remaining things from list. /reboot/ absolutely no more ATI stuff left behind. Clean as a whistle.

Install Catalyst_9.12_Hotfix_Win7_Vista_8.682.2RC1_Dec15.

Looked at ATI overdrive/fan control. Leave it locked for the moment.

Looked at CPUID Hardware monitor. shows both card fans /temp running at same value.



looked at GPU-Z Sensors for both cards Temp and fan speed RPM are not matching CPUID Hardware monitor. must be application error??

Card 1



Card 2



Look at GPU-Z Card Information notice it lists driver as Catalyst 9.10. Was this hotfix built off of the 9.10 drivers ?? I downloaded the hotfix that Dave provided at the start of the thread. is this right?




I think now Instead of unlocking the ATI overdrive in CCC. I am going to Install MSI afterburner and give that a try

Looks like your install failed.

I would do as following:
Run ATI catalyst install manager and uninstall everything ATI.
Before you restart, open device manager and set your GFX drivers as standard VGA manually.
Restart and install the 9.12 fix. Remember to right-click on the file and choose run as admin. Its a standalone, so you don't have to install anything else. :)

my GPU-z showed 9.12 drivers before i did all this. after the install it showed 9.10. I never have had 9.10 installed. I started at 9.11?

according to the device manager I have the right one. Right??

Catalyst_9.12_Hotfix_Win7_Vista_8.682.2RC1_Dec15

Its weird. I ran GPU-Z and on my machine it shows the correct Catalyst version (9.12) with the hotfix drivers. But, the atiumdag is the same number (8.14.10.0716).

In ATI property as picture above, my driver number is the same as yours. Does it say 9.12 in CCC?

Here it is
