Catalyst 13.2 beta 7

[dblkion 10]

Hey,

I though it would be a good idea to install the new 13.2 catalyst driver, and now arma 3 is ruined, the screen looks like it lacks refreshment rate and there are black borders around the screen.

Any idea about how to fix this ?

You probably didn't uninstalled old driver properly, so i suggest do it again and clean the driver properly this time.

I'm using 13.2 b7 and it's working fine..

Isn't it just a myth that you have to uninstall the drivers before installing new ones? From what I have heard, they just overwrite them.

I just installed the 13.2 drivers over 13.1 and I have had no problems.

I have nothing for the resfreshment rate, but the black borders can be solved by going to your "Catalyst Control Center > My Digital Screens > Options Screensize" and then turn your overscan to 0% that works for me at least but it only happens on my screen with HDMI cable if i just use a DVI cable the black borders never appear.

I'm pretty sure the newest driver uninstall the old one before installing itself now.

After installing the 13.2 b7 driver I had those black borders by default on the desktop, So I turned the overscan to 0% but it seems arma 3 could use the 15 overscan ... I'm kinda lost here. And there is also this refreshment thing :x

has any one gained any FPS though with latest drivers?

[dblkion 10]

Hm. Well now the game simply freeze my computer when launched.

Sounds like you need to fix the Over screen. Open CCC and change the over scan back to 100% so it now fills your screen.

[dblkion 10]

Well I downgraded my catalysts back to stable 13.1 and it fixed the refreshment problem, but there was still an issue with the overscan. I enabled full screen window in the resolution settings and it fixed that to.

Thanks for your help everyone !

Not entirely a myth, sometimes the setup of the drivers doesn't remove all the old files when uninstalling and you might get a mix of old files with new.

Also it's a good practice to uninstall old drivers through the control panel and not let the setup do it, as windows keeps a copy of every driver installed using precious hard disk space.

*Speaking for NVidia drivers.
