AMD Catalyst 13.9 WHQL Download

Here you can download the official AMD Catalyst 13.9 WHQL driver.

We have a discussion thread open on this driver right here.

This particular software suite updates the AMD Catalyst Display Driver and the AMD Catalyst Control Center / AMD Vision Engine Control Center.  This unified driver has been updated, and is designed to provide enhanced performance and reliability.

 

Package Contents

The AMD Catalyst™ Software Suite, AMD Catalyst™ 13.9 contains the following:

  • AMD Catalyst™ Display Driver version 13.152
  • HydraVision™ for Windows® 7
  • Southbridge/IXP Driver
  • AMD Catalyst™ Control Center (version 13.152)


NOTES!

  • When installing the AMD Catalyst Driver for Windows® operating system, the user must be logged on as Administrator, or have Administrator rights to complete the installation of the AMD Catalyst Driver.
  • The AMD Catalyst 13.9 Software Suite requires Windows 7 Service Pack 1 to be installed.
  • These release notes provide information on the AMD Catalyst Display Driver only. For information on the AMD Multimedia Center™, HydraVision, HydraVision Basic Edition, Remote Wonder™, or the Southbridge/IXP driver.
  • The AMD Catalyst 13.9 Software Suite requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 to be installed.  Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 is included in all Catalyst packages.
  • AMD Eyefinity technology is designed to give gamers access to high display resolutions. As pixel count grows, the graphics “horsepower” required to drive the displays at a reasonable frame rate can increase dramatically. Depending on the game and system configuration, users may notice texture corruption and reduced frame rates when running games in multi-monitor Eyefinity modes.
  • Windows Driver Model (WDM) drivers are no longer bundled in the AMD Catalyst software suite. The WDM drivers install bundle can be downloaded independently through the AMD website.

Compatible Operating Systems

The latest version of the AMD Catalyst™ Software Suite, AMD Catalyst™ 13.9 is designed to support the following Microsoft Windows platforms:

  • Windows 8.1 (32 & 64-bit version)
  • Windows 8 (32 & 64-bit version)
  • Windows 7 (32 & 64-bit version with SP1 or higher)

    Driver date is around a week older than 13.10 but they are on the 150 branch so I'm not sure these include all the frame pacing improvements..

    Anyone know if these enables DX11.2 support?

    AMD said they would be able to ad proper support with new drivers. If you are running a 7000 series card at least.

    The architecture is fully DirectX 11.2-capable when used with a driver that enables this feature. AMD is planning to enable DirectX 11.2 with a driver update in the Windows 8.1 launch timeframe in October, when DirectX 11.2 ships.

    So at a guess no. Not yet at least.

    Latest WHQL is 13.6 for AMD's partners. I mean latest before 13.9 WHQL.

    Okay the download page won't work in IE10. I had to use Comodo Dragon to get it.

    It seems that the Mobility version is not ready for prime time though. It installs .NET 4.5, which takes forever, then it installs C++2012, then when it says it's installing the Catalyst manager it throws up an "installation package failure" notice. It then continues to install the driver and HDMI stuff and installs the Catalyst Control Center when it's supposed to install the Vision Control Center. The log at the end says everything installed successfully but at the bottom it says that failures occurred.

    The Catalyst Install Manager also does not appear in my installed programs list.

    I get 8469 GPU score on 3DM11 with a 7870 @1200/1250 - How are you getting 8451 ?

    Is your score high or mine low ?

    No idea man. Try lowering the memory from 1250 to 1200, maybe something is not stable on your system. Cpu maybe?Mine is the i5 2400 turbo 3.2.
