after trying this driver, counter strike source crashes everytime a round is starting, half life 2 deathmatch now has nasty mouse input lag. other games seem to work fine

Same as beta2, hangs when X starts. Only the testing use logo is visible, black screen otherwise. Computer is completely frozen. (It would probably work with older kernels though, I haven't tried it. 3.8.3 is a mess, 3.8.3-203 won't even boot and has all sorts of bugs even if the boot issue is worked around.)

Fedora 18 x86_64, kernel 3.8.3-201.

Runs pretty nice on 13.04@3.8.0-13 kernel ;)
SS3 runs much smoother now.
No problems with any games for me so far

[richi902]

yeah, after the last source engine update the 13.3beta3 drivers works pretty fine now.
on 13.04

With what hardware is it running alright?

There were some unofficial beta builds that worked with 3.7/3.8 kernels.

[371937]: Team Fortress 2 - Screen black issue while entering the game screen under cinnamon desktop environment

This issue was fixed in the last release (13.3 beta2), now it's back. Artifacts as well.

Btw. yes, kernel 3.8 is supported, I'm running on it now :)

[Dusk of Oolacile]

The Fedora 18 kernel 3.8.4 update solved the issues I've written about above. Nov everything is stable again. It wasn't a driver issue after all.

TF2 plays much better now with BETA3 13.3 with 3.8.0-14 kernel on ubuntu 13.04 :-) !! Good work AMD, keep it up.
