AMD 13.1 Beta Driver

Some nice performance gains, just tried FC3 and it is defiantly running smoother and faster maxed out.

Will there be a legacy driver release anytime soon or none at all?

Not sure, I only keep my eye out for news on the latest beta drivers.

Seeing it posted as 13.2 beta.

I got it wrong, this 13.1 is the latest official driver but there is a leaked 13.2 beta.

So what kind of performance increase is there from 12.11?

 

[USAdystopia]

Frame rendering latency is reduced...motion is more fluid and smoother. FPS is not improved appreciably *AT THIS TIME*.

So far, running smoothly for me on:

Black Ops 2

Skyrim (heavily modded)

Crysis 2

Dystopia

Apart from FC3, if you use the CAP, there is not much difference, I get the same exact scores and FPS in all benches. However, it is more stable, obviously, and I can also see a better fan management algorithm. With 12.11 the fan on my Gigi kept revving up even if the temps stabilized at 57 degrees.

Fair enough. maybe the bsod's will stop when i go above 1200 core now -.-

Yep, not much difference FPS wise but FC3 defiantly runs smoother with less stuttering, Planetside 2 also feels a bit smoother with the 13.2 beta drivers as well.
