AMD Catalyst 14.12 Driver - The Omega Driver 4

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 12/09/2014 07:16 AM [ 30 comment(s) ]

AMD is getting ready for the winter, in this article we look at what AMD labeled the 'Omega Driver'. This is the new 14.12 Catalyst driver which has had some TLC from AMD, improving overall performance on a number of games, and next to that AMD is injecting a few new features as well. Time for a quick article, to cover all topics.

Thanks for the article! Just out of curiosity, why not making a comparison between 14.11 and Omega? There's probably been optimizations in every driver since 13.12.

Thanks for the article! Just out of curiosity, why not making a comparison between 14.11 and Omega? There's probably been optimizations in every driver since 13.12.


Here you go:
Performance Optimizations versus AMD Catalyst™ 14.9 WHQL


Sid Meier's Civilization®: Beyond Earth™ performance optimizations - Mantle API activated for ultimate performance in Sid Meier's Civilization®: Beyond Earth™
Call of Duty®: Advanced Warfare performance optimizations - Up to 30% performance increases with FXAA and lower game resolutions
Optimized AMD CrossFire™ Profile update for improved performance - Assassin's Creed® Unity performance optimizations
Single GPU performance improvements - Optimized AMD CrossFire™ Profile update for improved performance
Dragon Age: Inquisition performance optimizations - Up to 15% performance increase in single GPU scenarios with Anti-Aliasing enabled.
Optimized AMD CrossFire™ Profile update for improved performance
Far Cry 4 performance optimizations -
Up to 50% performance increase in single GPU scenarios with Anti-Aliasing enabled
.


I highlighted the thing about Far Cry 4, that's quite a big jump over 14.9.

Don't forget to mention the 14.12 chipset drivers are also available for those with AMD systems:

Mentioned this in the AMD driver topic but I'll post it here as well.


Not sure if it means anything but the Guru3D driver and the AMD website driver download seem to differ.

That's important, as the Catalyst Control Centre version in the AMD website driver is:
