Feature Highlights of The AMD Catalyst™ 14.4 Release Candidate Driver for Windows
Support for the AMD Radeon™ R9 295X

Crysis 3 – frame pacing improvements
Far Cry 3 – 3 and 4 GPU performance improvements at high quality settings, high resolution settings
Anno 2070 – Improved CrossFire scaling up to 34%
Titanfall – Resolved in game flickering with CrossFire enabled
Metro Last Light – Improved Crossfire scaling up to 10%
Eyefinity 3x1 (with three 4K panels) no longer cuts off portions of the application
Stuttering has been improved in certain applications when selecting mid-Eyefinity resolutions with V-sync Enabled
Full support for OpenGL 4.4
OpenGL 4.4 supports the following extensions:
ARB_buffer_storage
ARB_enhanced_layouts
ARB_query_buffer_object
ARB_clear_texture

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)

I hope it's better than previous drivers for my R9-280x.
