2D driver version is listed as:

14.50.2

K, thanks. I'll play with it a bit more when I get a chance.

It should be available in Jan/Feb with the phase 2 driver.

Ah, sweet. I've been thinking about upgrading to a 290 but someone offered me a great deal on a 280X. I would jump on it but these features are holding me back.

Now what about Fluid Motion Video and Contour removal? Are those features going to trickle down to the other 200 series cards? They only work on the 290 and 260 right now.

I was hoping this driver would finally fix black screen after driver install on my 5730 but FML I guess.
I have to live with 4 year old driver that is crashing browsers and will throw BSOD whenever it wants.

Looks like they are incorporating some Radeon Pro features into Catalyst!

Looking forward to SMAA inject & Sweet FX.

You joke, but an injector at the driver level would be freaking awesome.

The brand perception discussion does not belong here. If I see another off topic post, you will be facing an infraction immediately. This is a driver discussion/support thread!!!

Interesting. They also mention adding Dynamic Frame Rate Control as a CCC level frame limiter to keep temps/power consumption down.

Broke max Payne 3 for me

recording mantle seems to work at a lot of resolutions, though my native resolution - 1680x1050, isn't one of them. It isn't an aspect ratio thing either, since 1440x900 worked.

Hey Warsam.
Constructive criticism here.

There's no reason anybody should disable their firewall conected to the internet. Way too dangerous.
Tell the guys on charge of that, to redact to text to be something like this:

1- Download the new driver.
2- Disconnect from the internet (turn off modem, unplug cable...)
3- Disable firewall, antivirus.
4- Install
.....

What do you think?
Thanks.

Good one! Thank you Piotrsama...will do.

These drivers made me go out and buy a Sapphire R9-290 Tri-X.

Coming from a Sapphire 7850 OC...

Whoa nelly!

 

[WhoBeDaPlaya]

Anyone tried this on older cards? (eg. 5670, 6950, 5870, etc.)

 

[CropDuster]

Back to having random crashes in BF4 (Mantle) with these drivers. Screen turns black with blinking cursor then eventually closes out to desktop. 14.11.2 Betas seem to be fine though.

 

[KingFatty]

Anyone get a bug where, upon booting up, you see yellow/orange vertical stripes over the entire screen? Rebooting makes it go away, crossfire 7950s and eyefinity triple screens.

 

[Sunaiac]

Stable driver so far.
I still have various little graphical corruptions in Smite. (rectangle checkered pattern appears in transparent textures, like half of it is missing ?)
Happens whatever the details/resolution are.

Tried to put it in the bug report form, but it was "unable to proceed my request", and there's no report form for reporting bugs in the report form, so here it is

seems to have fixed my SOD with my 7870 on win8.1.

so good news everybody!

I've been having nothing but problems with BF4 since the last DLC was released with 14.9 and the Omega Drivers.

First time I launch the game it crashes. Second time it works. It's like clockwork. The only thing that changed on my system when these crashes started was the final stand DLC.

And I stand corrected. Two SOD's over the past 24 hours.

What do you mean by SOD?

 

[Despoiler]

What do you mean by SOD?

Probably BSOD.

And I stand corrected. Two SOD's over the past 24 hours.

I'd be looking for the root cause of the BSOD. It's unlikely it's driver related.

 

[eagle101]

Tnk u testing it right now on my MSI R9 290X lighting edition.

hello desprado, just waiting for my new msi lightning 290x........which driver is best after your testing?

 

[godihatework]

Probably BSOD.

not blue screen of death

sleep of death. the known AMD driver issue which i was really excited to have resolved which appears to no longer be resolved.

that's a network error. i don't think it's related to the drivers.

This. The BF4 application is managed by Origin and Battlelog, so if you were to lose connection with a server it'll shut the program down automatically.

I heard from a lot of people that recently that had trouble connecting to Origin and Battlelog, supposedly something about hackers DDOSing EA's servers
