Anyone installed it yet (with a 7970)? Except for having issues in old DOS era games I don't think I am having any issues . . . .

[amintha1992]

PRAISE THE LORD! THE BSODS AND BLACKSCREENS WERE GETTING TO ME!

[TopWargamer]

Ok, I'll try this one. The last beta driver was giving me artifacts left and right. I hope you fixed it this time around AMD!

my reaction

[TopWargamer]

Well everything seems to be running smoothly so far...

Last time as soon as the installation was done, I was getting artifacts left and right. I'll keep using this beta driver for the time being...

[dlf]

For whatever reason my DOS games - Ultimate DOOM, Quake, Space Quest IV, and probably more now decide to play with the right graphics and not 256 bit color (or worse) - except in space quest IV's menu's.

My friend had the flickering issue with his R9 270x, seems to been mostly resolved with the new drivers.

 

I'm glad to see it isn't his powersupply, he is using a quite old 750 watt, before 80 plus was a thing

and i thought the new card wasn't receiving enough power and that was why it was flickering. Note 

it still flickers every now and then watching Youtube videos or gaming.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 2 BSODs ? Using Windows 8.1 though and running smoothly since then
