Hello all. I've joined the community today. I have problem with latest, which is 3071 with new interface, Intel HD Graphics 4000 driver and I want to share with you.
I'm using netbook and I have two graphic cards on my computer (Intel HD 4000 and AMD 7670M). I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. The latest 3071 is great for the performance, I mean really great, I had HUGE, HUGE performance on some certain games, which those I can't run with 7670M because of AMD Enduro technology. Even some of them up from 25 fps on LOW settings to 70-120 fps on HIGH which is awesome. And I thank to Intel for that, I had never saw a such performance up through driver. The card actually can show itself for me now. Also, I really like new interface.
However, I have problems. The problem is, the 3071 driver is not very stable with AMD Catalyst 13.3 Beta 3, 13.4 WHQL, 13.5 Beta 2. I tried all of them and I had Aero issues on 13.3 Beta 3 and 13.5 Beta 2. I instantly uninstalled them. 13.4 WHQL works fine with Aero but this time, I had compability issues. Some of games don't work well. I've tried CoD: MW1, Paradoxgames (Victoria 2, CK2, EU3, HoI3) and these games don't work stable. There are some incoming-outgoing black lines on the game screen which was not happen before. When I opened multisampling on the games and morhpological filtering in AMD Catalyst, these black lines are gone but this time, I can't play smooth because fps drops down to 20-25. Sigh.
These problems does not exist with 3062 Intel driver (old interface) and AMD Catalyst 13.4 WHQL. But, this time again, my fps down from 70-120 to 20-25 on games that I run with Intel HD 4000. Really unbelieveable, I don't know what causing this. :/ How can a driver has huge impact like this?
At the same time, my PC temperature up some 5-10 degrees after install the 3071 Intel driver. I really didn't want to uninstall latest 3071 driver but I had no choice. I couldn't continue to use the driver like this. I hope that you give me some advice because I will go back 3071 If I can solve these issues. Also, I will be greatful if you don't advice me to go and use the manufacturer drivers. They are very outdated. Official Intel and AMD drivers are working fine except on this one. Thanks in advance.
