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.

    List of Known Issues is nearly as long as the fixes.

    *longer

    System black hangs/BSOD upon resuming from S3/S4 sleep on AMD Radeon™ R9 285 configured in AMD CrossFire™ mode

    A black screen may be experienced when attempting to enable Eyefinity after changing the display mode (Portrait, Landscape)

    Not only is 14.12 released, but they also have the chipset drivers available for 14.12 as well!

    It looks as though the driver is from 12 November, which is what I expected. WHQL process takes around a month! It's why I said it would be nice if a beta driver was also released, since that would be possibly a month newer.

    Indeed.. am surprised it has not leaked earlier ...

    Drivers were signed on the 14th of November.




    Looks like these drivers are a tad overhyped.

    That's just one resolution, the differences might be greater with different resolutions and antialiasing settings etc.
