I wonder is this driver newer than 13.11 b9.5 or is it basically the same?

It's newer. 13.251 instead of 13.250.

BF4 still flickers and the ground effects are still all screwed up, half the time I don't even know where I am going. I feel like I am playing a game from the 1980's now. Hope Dice fixes this soon

Good to know, skipping these then.

This is a BF4 game problem, introduced with the last patch - it is NOT a driver problem.

@CatalystCreator

AMD Catalyst 13.12 WHQL for Windows and Linux drivers are now available - basically they're the WHQL version of the 13.11 Beta V9.5 drivers

Apparently the Mobility version can not be installed if you have a Llano first generation APU.

Please note, that the AMD Catalyst Mobility driver package can only be installed on specific AMD Enduro platforms, that are second generation AMD A-series APU, or third generation Intel Core family based.

I got them to download, sort of, and then when trying to run the installer I get, "This version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running". I have Windows 7 64 bit. I guess we're stuck with 13.4 forever on Llano.

The mobility 13.11 beta 9.5 did download but I don't like using beta drivers.

This.

Don't blame AMD on that, DICE broke the game for multi-gpu configurations on both AMD CrossfireX and Nvidia SLI.

These drivers are terrible, I get 25 to 50's fps in BF3 with my 2x 7950's

Edit: Just tried BF4 and I get flickering like others have said.

Sounds like an irq conflict to me, nothing to do with the graphics.

Funny since there's only one report of it that I've seen... not to mention I myself have none of that happening.

Don't speak for everyone.

Old 5 series like HD5xxx? You meant 4xxx, didn't you? Because I have old G73jh, my brother has one and friend has one too. And guess what's inside... HD5870m and guess how well it runs Battlefield 4

(much better than it runs BF3 and on higher details)
I would not say staying with older HW is about money...

ya exactly, the 460 was powerful enough to play even the newest games at medium- high settings. But drivers that break windows... that's not acceptable. the 460 came out in 2010, its not even that old for crying out loud. Even if I had a 4850 I would expect games to still work, as long as I stayed away from windows 8 with it

Can anybody tell me if they also have a frame rate cap of ~66-68fps in DmC 5 regardless of whether or not Crossfire/Vsync is enabled/disabled? During the FMVs this isn't the case, I've noticed. But during gameplay it seems to be limited to exactly that frame rate and both of my GPUs are only running at about 20-25%. I'm just wondering because I've had this problem in this particular game since, at least knowingly, the 13.11 driver branch.

It is actually happening to most 290x crossfire users like myself too. Beta 9.2 doesnt have this problem.

Sorry - happens to everyone with R9 290 series cards in crossfire.
Wasn't specific enough obviously.

Why do you even want Mantle? You're not a developer taking advantage of new API. There are no games that support it (as of writing this post), for now even if it was included, Mantle, is nothing but a gimmick. Rest assured, when BF4 gets the Mantle update, you'll see a beta Mantle driver. Until then just take it as is.

I don't own an AMD card. I was being sarcastic. On a side note, you don't know what I do for a living. I do have a CIS degree and I am a software developer. I work for ARR Aerospace. Mantle has no affect on what I do though. I work in guidance systems. Also BF4 and many Frostbite 3 games will have Mantle support. Other game developers are also adding Mantle support. Cloud Imperium Games, Eidos Montreal and Oxide Games.
