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.
[409502]: Occasional flickering sometimes observed while playing FIFA 2015 in AMD Dual Graphics configurations.
[409638]: Slight Battlefield 4 performance drop on AMD Radeon™ R9 290X in AMD CrossFire™ configuration.
[409628]: AMD Radeon™ R9 285 intermittently hangs in Hitman Absolution on new game start.
[408484]: AMD Radeon™ R9 285 can sometimes exhibit flickering in Assassins Creed Unity.
[409613]: Assassins Creed Unity can sometimes experience frame stutter on some AMD CrossFire™ configurations.
[408706]: Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare intermittent black screen when loading game in Quad AMD Crossfire™ configurations.
[409600]: Civilization: Beyond Earth mantle users in AMD CrossFire™ configurations may sometimes experience an issue where they cannot change their game resolution. As a work around please use "Enable MGPU=1" in the games configuration .ini file.

AMD is currently working with BioWare to resolve the following issues:

Flickering is sometimes observed in Dragon Age: Inquisition on a limited number of surfaces in AMD CrossFire™ configurations.

AMD is currently working with Ubisoft to resolve the following issues:

Uneven hair corruption sometimes observed in Assassins Creed Unity when applying "ultra" game settings.

I thought that was only for the driver build itself and that it didn't apply to D3D/Mantle builds as well.

Yes, even though the file versions are the same, you will often find they are not bit identical as a result of minor changes. File sizes are a good indication, however the file size can be the same yet not be identical.

This may sound like a really dumb question but i just recently to AMD again. So I just install these set of drivers over the previous set? Or like NVIDIA, is it better to add/remove > clean sweeper > restart > install these?

it does everything for you, no need to add/remove

Two sets of beta drivers within fourteen days? Thank you asder00 for breaking the news! I'm glad they added HD5/6000-series GPU's back to their driver roaster (supported GPU's) or maybe that was you?

Here's an example with the Mantle files. They are all the same file sizes between 14.11.1 and 14.11.2, but all have a similar amount of very minor differences:

Usually the differences are much larger than that, even if the file sizes are the same.

Usually the differences are much larger than that, even if the file sizes are the same. In this instance, the differences are very minor differences, but differences nonetheless. Quite often the differences could be quite significant and still retain the same version number, at least until the next official version is out.
