This is unacceptable, Ati should be a shame of there self. 13.3 driver better be worth it or else a ton of people are going to be very piss. i just don't get it, the best driver to date was 12.11 & ever since then a ton of people are having issue in games in the lastest build of Ati drivers. also why the beta is not in the http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/Pages/radeon_win8-64.aspx page?

Look at the post in the Ati driver forum, most of them are about the crashing in games, BSOD, driver stop working when using the internet browser like Firefox or Chrome, IE10 etc... let hope this driver is really a beta & not alpha build because 12.11 was very stable.

Keep clean the thread without this crying out loud shame on them, unacceptable etc...AMD goes the right road!!!

Crying, what crying i'm saying like it is & you know it that i'm right. if there any issue people need to report it here because no one like a buggy driver that do more harm then good.

The nVidia dude is right... the last good drivers were 12.11 Beta 11, and, by definition, 13.1WHQL, AKA, 12.11 WHQL... anyway... I was having issues with the TR, let's see if this driver delivers.

THANKS ASDER!!!!!

Not rly, most people who had problems had problems with artifacting, because card got higher utilization with newer drivers (and proportionally higher fps).
So normal users got fps bump, while unreasonable OCers had to be lower clocks which is for some people's mentality unacceptable.

OpenCL performance is same as 12.11b4 which are best for OpenCL if I count performance/utilization ratio.
With 13.3b2 OpenCL utilization is few percent lower, therefore are scores, temperatures, power draw.

From Direct3D PoV I am pleased @120Hz as for now have not noticed any new broken features.

I've used every 13.1 driver, and every 13.2 beta

I've had ONE issue, Planetside 2 sometimes has black squares.

That's it, all my other games run perfectly fine.

No crashes.

No lock ups.

No mega corruption.

No "Framerate hiccups" etc

Considering Arma 3 is in Alpha state, you won't be getting drivers with optimizations for it anytime soon.

One thing I've noticed -
actually now in TR benchmark I DO see corruption of hair (it does now occlude with the model of Lara, on earlier drivers the hair has flown 'around' the model, now sometimes it flows just 'through' the back of Lara's model).

But anyway - since I've not found any other issues - for me, for now - it's a keeper

Nothing to do with this driver. A patch was released for Tomb Raider that removed the invisible barrier that caused the hair to float in the air.

Hmm... interesting... I do have 718.4 but will now update to latest to see if it was fixed...
But on a sidenote - I've run on the exact same build just different Cat's and on earlier I haven't noticed the issue with hair, on newest - I did...
Something's fishy

tombraider is still ****ed lol
even after the recent update + graphics card update, when i enable tressfx with crossfire enabled, my game freezes with sound loop, and it happens randomly most of the time when fmv`s apear lol, with tressfx off though its smooth sailing :/

also they still have not fixed hardware acceleration corruption, when viewing flash stuff or steam videos or websites with flash videos my screen completely corruption i managed to get rid of it by pressing ALT+F4 i tryed taking a screenshot
but all that appears in the screen shot is a perfectly uncorrupted desktop lol

i wish i never bought these 7 series cards, there nothing but problem after problem....think im going nvidia next....

to be perfectly honest i think its the displayout ports on 7 series cards that have the issues, i mean i have had hdmi audio out issues with these cards from day 1 and sometimes they work when i reboot other times there broken when i reboot or working but disabled lol
