Download the AMD Catalyst 14.12 WHQL (Omega) driver. This driver is WHQL signed and works with Windows 7 and 8.1.

The past few months the driver team has been working on a series of driver optimizations. Interestingly enough, most games that we tested show some sort of performance increase, and that's throughout the Guru3D software suite.

Catalyst changes and updates can be bulleted up towards these features.:

Virtual Super Resolution (VSR)
Video playback enhancements
5K LCD Panel Support
Frametime Frame Pacing enhancements
Performance optimizations for APUs
Performance optimizations for Dedicated graphics cards

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 Eart
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.

The most prominent one will be VSR rendering, you guys also know this as super sampling and as DSR from Nvidia. We'll walk through some of these features.

We have an article on-line about this driver, read it right here.
