AMD has posted its new Catalyst drivers, the 13.10 beta. The driver comes in a single file for all platforms, so it works on Windows 7 and 8, on both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Due to this though, the driver is also a 235 MB download. The driver carries multiple fixes as well as performance improvements, particularly on CrossFire systems. Below is a snippet from the release notes with the most relevant information:
