      Hey,

      I can’t find the Catalyst 13.1 drivers anywhere, I’ve got 13.12 (Guessing they are not the same?)

      Does anybody know where I could find a copy? I’ve searched the forum and first 5 pages of Google, and nothing :(

      Cheers chaps!

          Everywhere I’ve read says to use them, which version would you recommend?

            Everything other than it=P

            If you use the older ones, 12.x version you need to add the AMD APP SDK, alot of people prefer this one (most stable, best hashrate etc).
            However its a bit of hassle to get working some times, and if your gonna use the computer for gaming forget about that old driver.

            I recently installed the 13.12 driver on 5 different rigs, didnt have an single issue (except for me needing dummy plugs on the Asus cards, not sure if this is driver related, the sapphire cards worked without dummys)

                In windows, if you have multiple cards, when mining crypto it will only utilize your main card (the bootup screen one that had an monitor plugged in), the rest will just sit idle.
                so for example my 280X cards give 760Khash, but only on 1/3 cards, the two other hash at 80khash cause they are “idle”. Dunno of this is for all windows versions/amd driver versions.
                But on windows 8/amd 13.12 it happened with my asus cards (sapphire ones worked without though)

                An dummy plug is something you make to fool the system into thinking that an GPU has a monitor plugged in.
                Basiclly you take an DVI-I (IMPORTANT NOT TO USE DVI-D cause it lack the correct pins!), and put in 68 or 75ohm resistors in between 3 pair of holes. Voila it now looks like a monitor is plugged in for the GPU

                That way all the cards will run 100%
