Download AMD Catalyst 14.11.2 BETA driver. This beta driver works with Windows 7 and 8.1.
We have a discussion thread open on this driver right here.
Highlights of AMD Catalyst™ 14.11.2 Windows® Beta Driver Performance Improvements
- Dragon Age: Inquisition performance optimizations
- Up to 5% performance increase over Catalyst™ 14.11.1 beta in single GPU scenarios with Anti-Aliasing enabled.
- Optimized AMD CrossFire™ profile - Far Cry 4 performance optimizations
- Up to 50% performance increase over Catalyst™ 14.11.1 beta in single GPU scenarios with Anti-Aliasing enabled.
Important Notes
- The AMD CrossFire™ profile for Far Cry 4 is currently disabled in this driver while AMD works with Ubisoft to investigate an issue where AMD CrossFire™ configurations are not performing as intended. An update is expected on this issue in the near future through an updated game patch or an AMD driver posting.
Resolved Issues
- [409235]: Small chance of intermittent screen tearing or corruption in Call of Duty®: Advanced Warfare on high settings 4K resolution in AMD CrossFire™ mode.
- [408892]: World of Warcraft can sometimes exhibit corruption when using CMAA in AMD CrossFire™ configurations.
- [407431]: Minecraft sometimes produces corruption when changing video settings in windowed mode.
- [407338]: XDMA Quad CrossFire™ configurations in portrait Eyefinity modes sometimes display tearing or stuttering.
Known Issues
- [408723]: System can sometimes hang when upgrading to Catalyst™ 14.11.2 from Catalyst™14.7 in AMD CrossFire™ configurations. As a workaround please completely uninstall previous Catalyst™ software versions before installing Catalyst™14.11.2 beta.
- [409518]: Slight performance drops in FIFA 2015 on AMD CrossFire™ configurations.

Good Performance
I couldn't prove the new driver with Far Cry 4, but on Watch Dogs and Shadows of Mordor the performance increased a lot, and of course more stability. No problems yet.
I think this beta driver is the best since 13.9, 13.12.
Try it, is a very good driver.

Nobody read the release notes from the beta driver??? It states that crossfire has been temporarily disabled for FC4 because of issues.

On v14.11.1 only AFR friendly mode works ,same for 14.11.2 ,leaving at default mode does not scale at all. Farcry3.exe not working (there is no Farcry4.exe profile yet)

Test was done with v1.3. I dont know how the test would fare in 14.11.1 and 'high performance' power mode. That is the real puzzling question.
i already did a test but did not test it with 14.11.1 in v1.3
hello again i already tested it w/ patch 1.3.0 latest patch for farcry4
and this what i got from v1.0
farcry4 v1.0 + amd 14.11.1 = 83 fps base on maximum
farcry4 v1.0 + amd 14.11.2 = 84 fps base on maximum
only 1fps
after patching 1.3.0
farcry4 v1.3.0 + amd 14.11.2 = 115 fps base on maximum
from 84fps it gains 31 fps
i ddnt test it w/ 14.11.1 this enough for me
i dont know if the patch did it or the driver.

try patch 1.3.0 for far cry 4 and test it with AMD 14.11.2 also
change power options to high performance and change processor state minimum and maximum to 100%
