Upgraded my system today with AMD's latest(& highly publicized) 14.12 Omega video driver - performed clean install. My video card is the Radeon HD 7970.
Upon loading up a recently worked on project in Sony Vegas Pro 13(b428) 64bit, noticed that the preview image on the timeline was corrupted in some way. Started turning off various filters & effects on the video track to see what may be the cause.
Turned out to be Neat Video. Tried performing an uninstall/re-install of Neat Video to see if that would change anything - it did not. So apparently all the improvements AMD has made to their video driver has changed something drastically enough to break how Neat Video functions - it may have something to do with how the new driver handles the GPU memory as that is a notable change in the driver feature list.
Would like to know if this issue will be resolved & when it may get a fix.
AMD Catalyst 14.12 Omega Driver Issue
I can confirm that it works on the previous driver, 14.9.

Also, quick question. With 14.9, NeatBench and Neat Video only have access to 3GB of the VRAM, but with 14.12, they're claiming access to all 8GB of VRAM. Could that be part of the problem, Neat trying to access VRAM that's already been assigned to other processes?

We have already identified the cause of the problem (there seems to be a bug in the driver) and reported it to AMD. It is not clear whether it is related to those memory amounts, possibly not.
We are working a temporary workaround. If you want to try it please contact support [at] neatvideo.com
