Performance Optimizations
AMD Catalyst Omega driver also provides significant performance benefits for gamers who use our AMD
Radeon Discrete GPU products. Performance benefits are shown here for an AMD Radeon R9 290X graphics
card, comparing the AMD Catalyst Omega driver to the launch driver for that product – AMD Catalyst driver
13.12
When we place the FCAT results in an FPS percentile chart we can very easily compare if a driver has gotten faster. So from the release driver towards the new Omega driver we can see an improvement in Hitman Absolution.
The second title is BioShock Infinite (internal benchmark) As you can see overall the performance was incresed bya good number from the releases versus the Omega driver, you are talking 20% on average percent here.
For Tomb Raider the performance increases remain small, we see that the Omega driver is a small notch faster, but too little to make an actual noticeable difference.
