The AMD Driver Thread

Anybody tried AMD Catalyst 15.X (14.502.1002) ?

I'm 'dying' for a Dying Light driver.. Sorry.. ^^ This one any good?

*EDIT*

Installed them, definitely a newer driver, let's see how these fare in games..

It's the Alienware Amplifier driver, not recommended for normal desktop users. Not sure if VSR will work on this driver either.
 
I really don't understand why they release a new driver every two or three months. NVidia did it every two weeks. When a customer buy a new game, he doesn't want to wait several months to play the game he just bought, he wants to play it right now. Nvidia got it that's why they released today a new driver, because Evolve is out today.

AMD used to release one every month! but since they changed to this new release when ready driver have been so much better performance wise and stability wise..

Apart from some games not having crossfire support these driver have for me been rock solid.
Its not about how fast you push them out its about the quality you do so. If you look at them Nvidia drivers you see they already having driver crashes lol
That = Bad Q&A = Rush job to get them out..

Some people just need to chill, yeah I understand new drivers needed but we already got told when 14.12 got release that the next release would be Feb we new this..
Its not like they haven't told us!

Nvidia might release often but go over to the Nvidia driver thread and see that there drivers of late ain't been to good.
 
^^ That's great n all, but communication could be better, in the age of Twitter, Facebook, Forum representatives, surely they could let us know when an optimized driver is on it's way? Dying Light is unplayable on 290X atm. It's been out a lil while now, not great lol.

AMD find time to troll via those mediums, but where's support for the players with the actual games..

I not played Dying Light but I do have a mate who completed it on single 290x after lowering the draw distance he said his frame rate is great.
This isn't only an AMD issue either TotalBiscuit went more in detail abut it.

They have told us though they give time frame of Feb..
