Was I mistaken in thinking the upcoming WHQLs, presumably based on 14.4, were going to support Windows Vista? Not for my 8800 GTS (as my 7970 Matrix is provisionally dead), but for my better half's 7850OC.

new version of Mantle and Full OpenGL 4.4 Support.
Hymm, will test if this new version of Mantle will works as it should on my HD7870.

mantle + bf4 + 7870 is still unplayable (very noticeable fps drops with both vsync ON and OFF)
tested with amd-catalyst-14.4-rc-v1.0-windows-apr17.exe package from amd site

Maybe it's time for you to become the better half and upgrade her to at least 7 ?

it seems like fps drops became even greater with vsync OFF =)
with vsync ON it seems the same as with previous drivers.
the main improvement is that fps drops are now the same for any vsync =)
(with 14.3beta vsync OFF was smoother)
