Performance improvements found in AMD Catalyst 13.OpenGL 4.3 support – full support for the OpenGL 4.3 feature set Get the Linux Catalyst 13.8 Beta-drivers from AMD Brink, you should probably remove the AMD Catalyst OpenGL 4.3 Beta Driver as full open GL 4.3 support has been added to the 13. Get the Windows Catalyst 13.8 Beta-drivers from AMD In addition to the frame pacing-fix AMD also has added OpenGL 4.3-support and some updates for those using the Enduro-feature on mobile chips.ĪMD-owners, feel free to tell us in our forum or in the comments how you feel these drivers work. In these drivers the frame pacing is present for DX10 and DX11-games up to 2560 x 1600 but AMD will add support for higher resolutions and DX9-games in later drivers. It still is some way of compared to a single GPU but it still is a huge improvement over previous drivers. Anandtech did a great quick analysis of the drivers and found that it indeed has helped a lot. This is what gives the impression of “micro stutter”.ĪMD has been working for some months now to address this situation and todays beta-driver is the first step in solving this issue. So what is frame pacing? AMD has had a problem where when using multiple GPU’s the frames has not come in an even pace, instead sometimes the next frame has come a bit to late meaning it is shown a very short time before next frame comes. One of the big fixes in this driver is that AMD has added frame-pacing to help get rid of or at least minimize the micro-stuttering a lot of people have experienced when running more than one GPU. AMD has released a beta of their latest Catalyst-drivers: Catalyst 13.8 Beta.
