New AMD Catalyst and drivers released today.

This is a major release. Windows 8 now officially supported in the main package.

AMD Catalyst Mobility 12.8 Windows 8 | Windows 7 | Vista (64-bit)
AMD Catalyst Mobility 12.8 Windows 8 | Windows 7 | Vista (32-bit)

Full Release Notes here.

**Edit**

Be aware, I tried to installed Catalyst 12.8 and had multiple BlueScreen issues with my Envy 17 3D.

I had to do a manual uninstall and revert back to 12.6.

So I took the plunge and did a data-in-place upgrade to windows 8 pro today on my envy 17 3d. Just about all the drivers here worked except for the display drivers that are on the front page. I tried your drivers listed and they seemed to work just fine (no blue screens). However I can't seem to adjust my brightness, so hopefully they will fix that in a newer version.

Yes, same here with DV6T 6B00/ATI 6770M... no luck with 12.8, had to go back to 12.6. It's time for HP finally update the video drivers for this model.

I am about to flip the switch to Windows 8 too, any-day now.
The BlueScreen I mentioned was related with Windows 7.

Can you tell me if in Windows 8 and the above Catalyst 12.8 on your Envy 17 3D gives you the option of switchable graphics?
If yes, what drivers did you uses for the Intel Graphics on Windows 8? The ones from the Windows Update?

Thanks in advance

You're right...thanks for catching this! The CVA and HTML documentation links currently work, but I just realized that the Softpaq EXE isn't up at this time.

I disabled the download link for now - once HP actually posts the Softpaq, I will re-link to it.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm going to be adding more information about Windows 8-compatible releases in the coming days, and the feedback that will be shared in these driver threads will help me determine if I should be posting up certain updates (or not).

Hello guys I am having hp dv6 6165tx laptop. And after upadating to 12.8 catalyst I faced the same BSOD. So, I simply go to bios and changed switchable graphics to dynamic. Now everything is fine but I can not overclock by sapphire trixx.

P.S. The driver is newer, works on my dv6-6bxx with RT3592, however bluetooth still does not work with Nokia PC Suite

There are no Windows 8 drivers that support switchable graphics for the ATI Radeon HD 6770M. To my knowledge, HP is the one that has the publish the initial switchable graphics driver and then we can push the latest ATI reference driver to install on top.

I also noticed that the latest Broadcom Bluetooth 2070 driver fails to install in Windows 8. Finally, if you want to use the Validity Fingerprint Reader, do NOT use the latest HP SimplePass 2012. Instead, use HP SimplePass 2012 (5.4.0.402). This will install fine and you'll be able to enroll your fingerprints, etc. as before.

NOTE: These statements are based on a clean Windows 8 Pro x64 RTM install on an HP dv7t-6100 system. I did NOT do an upgrade installation, I just swapped hard drives and started from scratch.

Windows 8 runs fine from a clean install, the only caveat is it defaults to the integrated graphics because there's no working ATI driver.

Hey guys,

I have kinda a problem/dilemma, and I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I ran into a bit of a problem yesterday when I was cleaning out my laptop/deleting old programs. Using revo uninstaller, i uninstalled 20-30 apps (that i never use) from my dvt6qe, one of which was rivatuner (not sure if relevant info). I rebooted my computer, and now I seem to have lost my discrete graphics card capabilities. The device manager does not list the 6770M, it only lists the HD graphics. I downloaded the hp video driver for my model, sp55092.exe, and tried reinstalling/uninstalling but it did not work. the 12.7beta driver also did not yield results. The device manager still does not list my 6770M. Is there a quick and easy way to fix this? I really don't want to do a clean install all over again, i have no way of backing up my data...I can provide more info if necessary...

Thanks so much for your help guys
