Download the AMD Catalyst 14.2 Beta V1.3 driver. This driver works with Windows 7, 8 and 8.1.

We have a discussion thread open on this driver right here.

AMD is pleased to announce the AMD Catalyst 14.2 Beta release to coincide with the North American launch of THIEF! THIEF is an important title for the AMD Gaming Evolved program, rife with technologies optimized specifically for AMD Radeon™ graphics architectures—plus it’s just a plain ol’ fun game to play, with a franchise people know and love.

Build Info:

Catalyst: 14.2
CCC: 2014.0223.2239.40626
D3D: 9.14.10.01017
OGL: 6.14.10.12795
OCL: 10.0.1411.4
Mantle: 9.1.10.0009

THIEF is an exclusive partner of the AMD Gaming Evolved program. Throughout development of the PC and console versions of the game, this exciting reimagining of a classic franchise was built with AMD Radeon products in mind. At launch, AMD Radeon customers will have day-one support for: 4K gaming, AMD Eyefinity technology, AMD CrossFire technology and advantageous DirectX 11 performance. In addition, everyone will benefit from the Square/AMD collaboration through a host of graphical effects:

Compute shader-accelerated depth of field for realistic focal lengths
Silhouette-enhancing tessellation to improve character geometry
Complex shadowing systems to support THIEF’s dependence on shadows as a core gameplay mechanic. This is a great example of rendering technology supporting an integral element of the game! A notable percentage of the game’s rendering budget has been spent on the novel shadowing algorithms.
SSAA for buttery smooth edges.

As a reminder, THIEF will be patched to support Mantle and AMD TrueAudio technologies in early March.

Improvements to mantle and more:

Hangs and stuttering resolved for the Mantle codepath in Battlefield 4; users are now encouraged to try mGPU
Multi-GPU frame pacing in Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4 is now enabled for non-XDMA configurations running resolutions >1600p.
We fixed Minecraft! Sorry about that, builders J
Intermittent hangs and crashes should be resolved in 3D applications

Downloading as we speak, I'll give Mantle a new chance in BF4.

Did you check if notebook (like mine - Clevo PM370SM) not based on AMD Enduro got official support for Mantle? Or do we still need to use modded drivers?

Bad news for our dual gfx laptops.

I hope the word "currently" means they are still working on it....but this just means the wait continues being agonizing and longer....we have to keep waiting month after month...and by summer time, I bet AMD will say they dropped support all together (since they couldn't figure it out) :puke2:

....but we have no choice but to wait. :chainsaw2:

How to check your Mantle version? Or OCL in drivers (can only see d3d and ogl, ocl needs to be checked in gpu-z).
Hope this will resolve poor mantle perfomance (less than d3d11) with 7850 1GB;

I'm curious if this Beta has additional Mantle optimizations for 7900 Series cards (even though it works great for me with it enabled in BF4 already).

its nor raptr per se, its gaming eveolved powered by raptr.

Theoretically its an AMD app.

Dude, you have a Radeon 7730M in your lappy. What are you expecting from Mantle on that kind of hardware which is already limited? Stick with DX11 in Battlefield 4 and lower your settings until it's playable.

Mantle has just been released and all focus was on the R9-series (and 79x0-series) desktop GPU's together with Battlefield 4. As a new technology it will take time to optimise for and spend resources on budget/mid-range desktop cards as well as Radeon Mobility GPU's that are limited by default (since your laptop would turn off after 20 minutes if you had a full fledged 78xx/79xx/R9-290(x) in your lappy pulling 180-270W.

So patience. And what does nVidia have to do with anything. You won't get Mantle by switching to a lappy with one of nVidias mobile GPU's.

No it doesn't,

Maybe try reading it instead of just clicking next, next, next.

Will be interesting to see if these are slower than 12.x/13.x than 14.1 is.
