Nice one, good to see it's ready for 8.1, however looking forward to this one:

AMD's Matt Skynner-

We have a plan to release a new driver when a significant new game becomes available.

Driver date is around a week older than 13.10 but they are on the 150 branch so I'm not sure these include all the frame pacing improvements..

From the comments @ Guru3D.

Also these don't have DX11.2 apparently.

Thanks think I'll hang in there for driver tommy talking about

Game will be bf4 that's using dx11.1 so I read.

Yep older than 13.10 and doesn't contain frame pacing or any crossfire improvements. One for single card users who are having problems with the latest beta. Everyone else should stick with the beta imo.

FEATURE HIGHLIGHTS OF AMD CATALYST™ 13.9

The AMD Catalyst 13.9 WHQL is AMD’s first logo certified driver for Windows 8.1. It does not include support for Frame Pacing or the very latest AMD CrossFire™ optimizations. AMD Catalyst 13.10 Beta includes additional performance improvements and fixes not found in AMD Catalyst 13.9 WHQL.

Directly from amd own release notes..

thanks for clearing that up, a 7990 user who will stick with the beta

I can noticeably feel and see a difference with frame pacing enabled in Battlefield 3. That is how big the difference is. Its now like playing with vsync and or a fps cap. The smoothness has increased imo from 13.8 - 13.10.

Help please guys, here's the details:
Previous driver 13.4 WHQL (never bothered with Betas), GPU Tweak latest version (2.4.3.1) - I ran an overclock on my card just fine.
Installed 13.9 (properly uninstalled 13.4) but now my Overclock crashes every game I try yet they all ran fine in 13.4.

Does this mean I have to Overclock from scratch again and not get my past results? because I got a good OC and if need be might just go back to 13.4 but would prefer the latest drivers obviously (HD7850)

Thanks for any help

windows 8.1 rtm
i ran heaven and valley 3 times each on 10 betas and new 9
Well +1 point in heaven and +2 in valley on each run using 13.9

Will see how WoW in 3D behaves in sec

Windows 8.1 RTM is much quicker in general usage, in games I have a general 5% performance drop.

I upgraded for BF4, I expect it to run much quicker under 8 than 7.

Zeed · 19 Sep 2013 at 20:05

interesting i gained fps from 8.1 oO

shankly1985 · 19 Sep 2013 at 21:17

Does my windows 8 key work with 8.1 rtm? Also can I install without loosing my data I have now?

Yes afaik. 8.1 is a free upgrade via windows update for Windows 8 users.

Yer think that's released October 18th but bf4 is released 1st October. So was thinking use the version people using now.

But if I do will I need to re-install again once free update is released or can I activate the rtm version.

Besty · 19 Sep 2013 at 21:43

Fyi.I am using an official key and ISO as I am a ms technet sub. They released the rtm last week.

I would personally wait until you can get an official ISo.

Zeed · 20 Sep 2013 at 06:34
