AMD Releases New Catalyst Linux Driver Beta For July

[xpris]

On my machine, MSi X370 [AMD APU E-350 Radeon 6310] there is no input lag, but the performance in relation to the Catalyst 13.3 beta3 dropped from 11 to 33%! tested on kernel 3.10.2 [my kernel line: v25.2]

From the screen I think you don install full fglrx driver, maybe this is youur answer. Look at "wersja pakietu sterownika".

What's input lag???


I have 5730M, and only experience lagging OUTSIDE games (alt tab to desktop..)

I'm surprised this isn't in catalyst-test in Arch's AUR.

Wow, just... wow. OpenGL input lag is *still* not fixed (AMD Radeon HD 6870). Although I am hearing it should be fixed with the upcoming Catalyst 13.7 (July, 31th).

Some GPU crashes have been resolved though.

Use R600 + 3.11-rc2 + Mesa-GIT with that card. You'll likely get better performance that way and you won't have input lag issues. Oh and make sure to enable R600sb with R600_DEBUG=sb,nollvm

I already do exactly that, but I am still interested in Catalyst development and try new drivers.

Besides completing the OpenGL 4.3 compliance, this Linux driver blob update resolves issues with Source Engine games, Maya 2011-2013, Unigine Heaven, and Left 4 Dead 2.

For me with L4D2 it's exactly the other way around: It worked perfectly fine with previous drivers but with this one I have input lag and other issues (like the game screen staying black after alt-tabbing).

I still get input lag but it seems to have improved a little. Portal is now considerably less annoying to play, but not good enough yet.

I'm very close to deciding to switch to the open source drivers and wayland, but I still don't feel they're quite ready yet.
