I notice zero difference game still performs like crap lol
Medium/High it dont matter from rate drops down far to low.

@Blitzkrieg
No Problem

I'm seeing a large performance boost when using MSAA.

Holymoly.... Downloading now

Gonna take more than a 50% boost for me to download Crysis 3 again, grabbing the drivers though

Westie · 1 Feb 2013 at 03:19

are these basically same as beta 3 but just crysis 3 boost?

No they fix a lot of things such as glitches in games and stuff, they are very good drivers.

I see no difference on Win8 and a clocked 7850

Yes i think they just contain crysis 3 improvements.

Still gonna update though even though i won't be playing it.

We don't all sit and run 3DMark and Heaven over and over again, some of us actually use our GPU's to play games with!

I told you it wouldn't be long before they had optimized drivers for Crysis 3. Moaning minnies

Lol these I see no difference from last driver.
Still Frame rate drops.

This... plus the time I posted wasn't going to start running benchmarks.

Oh i am, i never did run it with 4x MSAA on 12.11 or 13.1. but i tell you what, vs 13.2 BETA4 even without MSAA my average FPS has gone up 8%, from 68 FPS to 73 FPS. (All High + 1x SMAA)

I did run it; All High + 4x SMAA on 12.11 and 13.1 and it was unplayable... i'm going to test it again now.

But yes, the sharp frame rate drops are not good, that needs to be better, its no good running around getting 80+ FPS and then your hit by someone and it tanks as low as 40.

Checked this on Heaven 3.0 at my stock settings (7970@1200/1650) against the 13.1's and 13.2 beta 3's and no change.

Ok..

All High + 4x SMAA: 48 FPS Avrg
All High + 4x MSAA: 47 FPS Avrg

I don't know how much an improvement that is, as i say i did not test with 12.11 and 13.1, but whatever it is its a vast improvement, its actually playable with 4x AA now, with the older Drivers i don't think the frame rates got much over 30, if at all.

(7870 @ 1140 / 1450)
(P-II x6 1090T @ 4Ghz)

With the leaked 13.2 i got around 17fps when i switched to 4xmsaa.
the 13.2 beta4 for crysis give it the performance it should.

On very high 4xMSAA close to 60, but as other mentioned bad framedrops still.

Just installed these with my new 7950 that returned from RMA, thanks for the slightly free upgrade to the FLEX boost model OcUK

.

Ran a couple of benchmarks and I'm already seeing some improvements from these compared to the 12.11 beta. Will probably give DOTA 2 a go on it seeing as my friend gifted me a copy.

Also just noticed CCC looks a tad different under the 3D application section
