Hello everyone,

We’ve just released the Catalyst 14.2 Beta driver today in sync with the launch of the newest addition to our Gaming Evolved program: Thief. You may download the new Catalyst 14.2 Beta driver from here: http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/latest-catalyst-windows-beta.aspx

Additional notes:

AMD Radeon customers will have support for the following: 4K gaming, AMD Eyefinity and AMD CrossFire technologies; and everyone will benefit from the following graphics effects:

• Silhouette-enhancing tessellation to improve character geometry
• Compute shader-accelerated depth of field for realistic focal lengths
• Complex shadowing systems to support Thief’s dependence on shadows as a core gameplay mechanic

You can refer to the Feature Highlights for more information. We are also in the process of updating the known issues page (www.amd.com/mantleknownissues) to reflect the changes in the Mantle component of this driver. And here is the link to the Issue Reporting Form: http://www.amdsurveys.com/se.ashx?s=5A1E27D25AD12B1A

Please keep in mind the Mantle and TrueAudio patch for Thief will be available in March.

It doesn't mention the 7000 cards as known issues anymore...but it also doesn't note that it fixed or optimized them.

Anyont tried?

I have the 7870 card and the 14.1 made battlefield unplayable with stutter.

Any updates would be helpful.
