On Phoenix, I had to go into the config file and set bfi_int = False, otherwise the miner kernel wouldn't run, even though it seemed like it simply skipped patching. After testing dozens of different settings, performance scales similarly to previous post-11.12 / >SDK 2.5 drivers:

Max v11.11 (included SDK 2.5): 225.29Mhash/s (Worksize 256/vectors/memclock=294MHz/GPU=970MHz)

Max this version: 221.03Mhash/s (Worksize 128/vectors4/memclock=800-1000MHz/GPU=970MHz)

Radeon 5770 (stock 850MHz/1200MHz RAM) (similar miner optimizations to all 58xx)

vanitygen is still broken like it is on all newer drivers. I'm also getting desktop glitches when not doing anything at core overclocks that were stable before, I had to reduce the overclock.
Woahhhh!! that is some really bad news!, Good thing is that now we have people from both sides of the drivers saying "its good" and "it borked my rig"

I just thought that i would give some people peace of mind when i tell them that upgrading to 13.2beta6 was headache and problem free for me
I noticed no increse in hashrate, But a dramatic increse in videogame performance on both my 7950 and 6870,


Gah, Spoke to soon, I cannot play games and mine coins on 13.6beta6 with a 7950, The 6870 works fine though

Could someone post a Working new driver? Im SICK im of using 12.8....
What driver do we have that can mine bitcoins and play battlefield 3, 13.2beta6 can, But at the cost of Massive texture tears in bf3
