The 10.10a Hotfix is also out..

AMD Catalyst? 10.10a Performance Optimization Hotfix

Tipstaff · Oct 23, 2010, 01:47 PM

To AMD:

You guys need to properly explain the differences between the regular drivers, and the "AMD Catalyst™ Accelerated Parallel Processing (APP) Technology Edition" other than saying that this has OpenCL and an ATI Integrated Driver while this one doesn't. I have seen forum after forum post from people on "which driver do I use?", and frankly, I haven't a clue either. You guys could please explain what the differences are, in what situation one would choose the APP driver over the standard driver, and the pitfalls of choosing the APP driver over the standard one if there are any I'm sure you'll put a lot of peoples minds at ease. There's just too much unnecessary confusion right now about which driver to use.

Sorry if this looks like I'm angry about this, but I'm not. Just don't want this to turn ugly for you guys.

Since the hotfix drivers are basically drivers and not patch, why don't they release them instead of the non hotfix drivers?

IvanV · Oct 23, 2010, 02:29 PM

I'm guessing that those aren't WHQL certified.

Liqourice · Oct 23, 2010, 10:32 PM

Yikes!

Installed 10.10 and then ran unigine heaven 2.1 in OpenGL mode...

It performed like before, extremely crappy and only scored about half of DX11 mode.

Then I installed the 10.10a hotfix.

Ran the same thing again and holy ****, the OpenGL performance DOUBLED! It's now almost identical to DX11 mode..

someone correct me if i'm wrong but since they have to submit the drivers to MS for WHQL certification, then whatever bugs they find after make it into the hotfix. It's dumb i guess, but this way they post the official signed drivers and also provide a "not supported by amd" set which includes newer fixes.

Not enough information.

Which version of Windows 7? 32-bit or 64-bit?

Which version of the HD 3200? AGP or PCIe?

Liqourice · Nov 15, 2010, 01:00 PM

Isn't the 3200 an IGP only?

iPlayer · Nov 15, 2010, 07:34 PM

Should be a 780g platform. I think the 10.10 would be fine, except we don't know if he's running 32 or 64 bit OS.

As whats been mentioned already you have asked a question that nobody can answer properly until you provide more details..

the HD 3200 (the link indicates Notebook) is an integrated Graphics card... So it may be best to look at the Manufactures website.To see what drivers they are currently hosting.

iPlayer · Nov 16, 2010, 04:59 AM

It's also used in desktops.
