Any release notes? Did they fix the corruption in Skyrim when using 12.2?

"No major improvements are brought in Skyrim with this driver. Performance dips are a bit smaller but on average all drivers perform the same."

I did a little digging for AMD Catalyst 12.4 and found this (linked from AMD search results);

http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/HD78007Support.aspx

It is for driver v8.95.5 (12.4)!

I do not know if it will be of use to anyone but thought I'd post it. :smile:

After seeing the crap about 12.2 and 12.3, I am staying with what I have which is the 12.2 preview, which that and prior drivers seem to be the best for Skyrim. I am not trusting AMD on drivers anymore, tbh.

O rly texture pop gone you mean like when I approach a fort and the moss LOD goes from like 2 to 3(max)? What card are you using? also morphological was broken(I leave it unchecked but that is the first I heard of that)? I also use 4x SSAA in Skyrim through CCC have experimented with the game AA and AF but it svcks.
