AMD Catalyst Beta

[Mar 15, 2013, 7:40 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

AMD support now offers a new version 13.3 beta Catalyst driver for Windows 7/8/Vista 32-bit and 64-bit. They promise performance improvements for SimCity, Far Cry 3, Tomb Raider, and Hitman Absolution, but offer no promises of support, as the beta is provided on an "as is" basis. Word is that Linux users can expect a new beta driver next week.

AMD has been quiet on the subject as of late. The prior 13.2.x betas were supposed to be introducing these faixes, but things are still hit or miss, especially in Crossfire, from game to game.

I can run Cyrsis 3 on ultra without a problem, but I cannot play Far Cry on any setting without getting some type of micro-stutter.

Stutter, stutter, stutter...jerk, slow, speed up, stutter...
Wondering why AMD seems to be so much worse than Nvidia with this,

Wasn't this supposed to have the rest of the game-agnostic frame latency fixes?

Audio driver is hanging a few CF systems, though some are claiming it happens on single card setups as well. If you aren't actually using it and have this issue, do a custom install and disable that component.
Too bad I found out about this after four install attempts.
Still having microstuttering in FC3,
