Hi I had a problem with the catalyst 12.8 drivers on my 7970. amdkmdap stopped working. I uninstalled them then installed the 12.6 again and the problem went away, anyone else have this problem?

I haven't had any problems with the 12.6 drivers and my performance seems fine.

If you're not benefiting directly from any of the changes in the changelog it's not always necessary to upgrade. If your games are working to your liking, stick to the driver you've got.

I couldn't see any other ppl having this problem on the internet. Only with the catalyst 12.4 drivers. I'm using vista fully updated. Windows 7 costs too much. I was hoping other people would have this problem so amd would fix it, but nah C'est la vie

Hi again.

I formatted my pc and installed the catalyst 12.8 and got the crash again. But I have increased the pcie and ddr3 voltage in the bios. It says plus auto +0.5v 1v and so on Should I increase it further? Does it do any damage?

I have a arctic tripple fan on my 7970. I don't know much about voltages other than too high can damage things.

I installed the 12.8 from amd's website instead of sapphires and so far no crashing. :)
