That is one the reason why AMD is struggling and do not have stock market or proper PC users.

Tomorrow i will make a mod for hd5 and hd6 cards, it will work unless they removed the support from the driver itself (dlls, sys, etc.).

Did not work for me. First noticed slowdown in BF4. Confirmed with 5% loss in 3D Mark. Back to 14.9.2.

[Update] Just removed amd completely with a removal program from this site, and reinstalled the newest driver, and waited for about a minute and it prompted a system reboot and did so, and now it's showing all the correct information on catalyst control center, good ol' 14.11.1 Beta 🙂 yay lol]
Weird, for some reason when I look at my details, it says that my Catalyst is still 14.6 and I've tried re-installing to the newer ones like 14.9.2 etc. with no effect. Still says 14.6 on that section. I completely removed amd drivers/control center and so forth and reinstalled the new driver, but it didn't install Catalyst Control Center at all, which was weird. Everything on your list of details screenshot is identical to mine besides the 14.6 Catalyst version, when it's supposed to read 14.11.1 beta instead. I don't get it. It won't seem to update the actual catalyst program itself, or it could just be a weird bug, idk. Any ideas?

U can check out Nvidia customer support vs AMD customers support in this forum,Nvdia forum so there is no need to argue because facts tell all.
BTW HD6xxx is not even 4 years old that shows how much they care and love their user.
Nvidia is properly supporting GTX 4xx where as poor HD5xxx and HD6xxx user cannot event install new drivers and that is called boycotting ur own user.

I tried Cod:AW, 7970/280X CF. Negative scaling and stutters in sp, 4K and 1080p. Yet one more reason to ditch my current setup for the 970.

COD:AW
got a 40MB update and then a 6.1MB update and things have improved.
I find it best to get into party, for some reason I have MUCH better connection and the game runs much smoother this way. Some maps still lag like crap though.
I also turned down textures from Extra to High and put Shadow Map Resolution on Normal.
Game runs a lot better this way.

does it fix this issue : [404660]: GPU gets stuck in a low power state after it was previously stressed to max power ?

They do benefit the card regardless as most optimizations stretch over the entire kernel.
I have an ancient pavilion with an nvidia. Still installs the newest updates and did give me a huge performance boost in old games such as Red Alert 3. Whilst I do not recall the version numbers the update was from this year (2014). Whilst the game was slower with an nvidia driver from early 2013.
The laptop itself being from 2008.
And yup Manhattan (5xxx/ 6xxx rebrands) and Vancouver (6xxx/7xxx rebrands)
Are removed from the inf file.
Very nice AMD.
Another example: AMD totally gimping the 5xxx mobility on windows 8.1 causing it to bootloop just a few driver versions past of officially fixing it after 3 years of waiting and then dropping support.
Classy move.
Edit:
Maybe they are testing the waters with this. First the removal of all 5xxx and 6xxx mobility products from their web page .. Now they are slowly working their way into removing the desktop lines.

Feel that much better that I'm in the middle of switching my work to NVIDIA this year. Wish I had started sooner. We're going to have several hundred machines still running 5000/6000 series cards for at least the next 2 years, so much for me having unified driver versions in my system images. Every month this year AMD has managed to lower my expectations even further, can safely say we are never going back, been burnt far too many times.

Looks like they did fix some bugs in this beta vs 14.9.2.
In 14.9.2 I was getting some weird flashing on specific textures in Crysis. Played for about an hour tonight after installing this new beta and it appears that it is fixed.
GPU usage and temps also seem a bit lower in Crysis as well.

Always entertaining seeing the drones who think anyone cares that they're going back to nVidia. I guess only computer miracle workers are able to run AMD anymore....

This driver works better but not nearly 100% for cod:aw. I get 100% cpu usage and about 60% per gpu. How can this game be more demanding than BF4

Anybody tried them with BF4 and Mantle Crossfire?! DX11 Crossfire is s**t, for example when your tank/APC is attacked by scout chopper and you deploy active protection the framerate tanks. Or Siege of Shanghai becomes a mess after levolution on 64 players server. Mantle Crossfire did not have these performance issues.I don't know if it is the July patch or the driver but somebody should fix this mess, it has been broken for months now.
Having DA: Inquisition on preorder and coming out in about a week using the same Frostbite 3 engine I am worried the Mantle Crossfire memory leak and the DX11 Crossfire performance issues will also be present.

Mantle Crossfire memory Leak in BF4
Have you tested with Mantle ?
It seems the Mantle Version is the same on this beta driver. I doubt they fix the mantle crossfire memory leak in BF4.
I give it a try. But i feel that my patience with AMD comes to an End. After over 10 years using AMD GPU/CPU´s i am nearly done with them. Tired of being third grade gamer. They promote AMD GPU´s with Mantle and BF4 and it simple dont work out. The Memory leaking is so blatant. First it eats the Vram then it eats up the System RAM and you end with stuttering 5 fps in Game.
I think they simple dont care. Time to buy a GPU from the Pros @ Nvidia.

If AMD continue to release somewhat useless drivers and not supporting mantle then I see that they will loose almost 50% of their customers. Once nvidia releases new graphics cards after 900 series i will make my move back to them. With dx12 coming out mantle can kiss my hairy ass goodbye.

I'm sorry about derailing the CoD/AC driver thread but everybody has different expectations about what the beta drivers should fix. I guess everybody hopes their issues will be fixed first. I'll give it a try in the evening with BF4 but I do not expect miracles.
