SkateZilla Posted January 17, 2013 Posted January 17, 2013 Andrew Dodd, AMD's Catalyst guru, tells us a variant of the Catalyst 13.2 beta driver we tested will be released via AMD's website next week. That should be a nice first step toward shoring up Radeon performance compared to the competition For More Info on Why 13.2 is Important? It's the First Driver with the partial Re-Write of the Driver for GCN instead of VLIW5 Architecture. What does that Mean? Better Frame Latencies, or basically Less Stutter, Flickering and Frame Jumping. Souce/Docs/Demonstration?

SkateZilla Posted January 18, 2013 Author Posted January 18, 2013 I wouldnt recommend using the leaked press preview drivers, in fact several AMD employees/members that post on forums said the same thing.

SkateZilla Posted January 30, 2013 Author Posted January 30, 2013 Didnt get alot of time last night with it, but so far, it feels Alot smoother (frame Latencies), less jerky motion, even at 60 Fps, specially in the side monitors.

JG14_Smil Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Have given these a quick test in my 1 Ghz flashed 7970 and PLPL setup (all I fly is DCSW BS) As Skatezilla said, I noticed it to be smoother in my side monitors with these drivers. I was hoping these gains would allow me to run with my mirrors enabled, but they push the system back into the 'choppy' range at times. I also noticed the return of the mini-stutters in the side monitors. 13.1 (and these) drivers have been good for my pit and I am loving the PLPL setup.
RedRain Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Exchanged 13.1 for 13.2 last night, definite improvement on my 7970 @ 6040 x 1080 (not so much on fps, 25 - 35 at base, 35 - 45 airborne, good enough for me though, could be better ), seems to run much smoother ?
