Posted June 7, 201213 yr Hey, Just tested the Catalyst 12.6 Beta from June 4 and I noticed a 1.5 % improvement on 3DMark 11's Graphics Score. Almost 120 points. There is also a little gain on 3DMark Vantage and an average gain of 3 % under games. Btw for the gamers out there, it fixes the performance problem under The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrime, so you will see a gain of 27 % going from the Catalyst 12.4 to the Catalyst 12.6 Beta. For those interested to see all the graphs, follow the link Download the Catalyst 12.6 Beta (June 4) at Guru3D Edited June 7, 201213 yr by Christian Ney
June 7, 201213 yr Author I saw all you guys are benching using the Catalyst 12.4 for the MSI MOA for exemple, I think it's worth taking a look to those new drivers if you want to scrounge some more points
June 7, 201213 yr I noticed the gain in 3D11 too, so we used this driver but the card was not good enough so we failed
June 14, 201212 yr Crew My results: 5.94 Ivy - lightning 7970 (1900mhz memory) 14280 - 1550mhz core (12.4) 14780 - 1550mhz core (12.6) Don't know why i have such big increase, maybe one slow run vs a good run. But these drivers help BIG time. Maybe more for Ivy than 2011. Cause it boosts gpu score even higher. i would put money on it Xtreme Addict would get 16k at 1750mhz and these drivers + Ivy at 6g
June 14, 201212 yr Author Not bad, you got 3 % improvement. Did you test the ones from June 4 or the ones from May 22 ? I did test at stock settings so. btw, In CrossFire there is an improvement too: 1.1 % Link to the Article

June 14, 201212 yr Author Planned to test each gen of gpu with each drivers on each hwbot benchmarks, but will take a while till it's done, take quite some time
June 14, 201212 yr i would put money on it Xtreme Addict would get 16k at 1750mhz and these drivers + Ivy at 6g spot on!
