AMD Catalyst 13.2 Drivers in the Next Week (estimated)

[Mustang]

Yeah i think i'll be giving the beta 4 a miss but others may want them :)

[PoleCat]

I am going to grab them anyway. I like the using the latest version possible as long as it fixes something and doesn't break something else..;)

 

Thanks Mustang!

Been flying 1.2.2 and beta testing 1.2.3 with 13.2 beta 5 all day with no issues on my XFX 6850 1GB.

I have my best mirrors on performance yet with 13.2b5. Turning them on normally makes my side portrait monitors choppy. While not perfect, these are the smoothest yet for mirrors on. Very good with them off.

please keep in calm till the 13.2 drivers become available. The 13.1 driver do not allow automatic update from the software, maybe AMD do not like surprises and is better wait for the next driver at all.

[HiJack]

Uninstall and install works just fine :D

[JG14_Smil]

I've been able to leave my mirrors turned on with the beta 5's. I am very happy about that!

[59th_Wittman]

I tested 13.2 beta5 driver.

 

This driver is very good, more FPS, no microlag and textures bug in Ricardo HD's texture cockpit disappeared.

 

Thanks AMD!

edit: filename is 'AMD_Catalyst_13.2_Beta6.exe' so yes, but no news with release notes yet though.

Users are reporting nice boosts in HeavenBench and Games.

[JG14_Smil]

Best ones yet for me. I gained a couple FPS and see even less small stutter in my side portrait monitors with mirrors enabled (BS2W 6400x1920, 7970).

[Mustang]

I haven't actually tried these yet (still on beta 5) thanks for the feedback, i'm off to install these :)

[SkateZilla]

Beta 5 was abysmal TBH.

[Hamblue]

If you do install them give feedback good or bad.

It helps the developers and also gets DCS on the radar for the developers to consider when updating them.

Also read the same forums. Some are reporting beta 5 problems and rolling back to beta 4.

[JG14_Smil]

Tell them I liked them. I am not registering at another website.

[SkateZilla]

overclock.net has people getting 10-15% more in benches.

[BIGNEWY]

going to give beta 6 a go . thanks

 

EDIT

 

Beta 6 is an improvement for me, especially with ground effect in the ka-50 much better frame-rates kicking up dust :)

In installed beta 6 last night and after an hour of flying I had no flickers or anything on my HD 7950.. Much better than the last 12.? driver..
