potatochobit Report post Posted July 27, 2012 apparently there is a new leaked version of the amd drivers, I saw it posted on guru3d the official beta has not been released to the public I guess but the drivers are supposedly designed for APU fixes; right now Im testing it with my 7850 since I have been experiencing problems if you didnt notice, the last few catalyst releases are really buggy with newer graphic cards apparently Firefox+flash is constantly crashing my amd drivers on certains sites - gamefaqs for sure (maybe due to the flash ads?_) and sometimes youtube anyway, Im sure you've noticed the numerous flash updates and amd betas lately Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ccokeman Report post Posted July 28, 2012 I hope they work good...tired of my flash crashing all the time. The flash/firefox problem is not unique to AMD as mine is crashing with a GTX 470 and the latest NVIDIA drivers. Buggy is not quite the word I would use.

Guest_Jim_* Report post Posted July 28, 2012 Have you tired disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox? The performance difference seems to be minimal for me most of the time, and it gave me problems, so I run with that off. I also set the "plugins.click_to_play" variable to "true" in about:config. So nice being able to control the activation of plug-ins like flash and java beyond the control NoScript gives me. Keeps the memory usage low for the plugincontainer too. Anyway, maybe something with those will help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IVIYTH0S Report post Posted July 29, 2012 I haven't noticed anything wrong with my 7950 here? I don't run beta drivers/leaked drivers though, but cheers to anyone to whom this fixes any problems for Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
potatochobit Report post Posted July 31, 2012 well, the drivers are working great so far no crashes since but... ugh... flash updated it self today - that's got me worried disabling hardware acceleration does help, but it tends to be pixellated and I'd rather just wait I talked to some people and they were having problems with nvidia cards so the flash issue is not unique to AMD drivers but on the 7800 series it is rampant for sure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
