Performance improvements abound after installing Catalyst 13.11 beta. One of the biggest gains to be had is in Batman: Arkham Origins. When enabling MSAA at 8x, AMD claims framerates are bolstered by as much as 35 percent.
Other performance gains aren't quite as dramatic, though a few creep up into double-digit territory. Here's the full rundown:
- Total War: Rome 2 - improves performance up to 10 percent
- Battlefield 3 - improves performance up to 10 percent
- GRID 2 - improves performance up to 8.5 percent
- DiRT Showdown - improves performance up to 10 percent
- Formula 1 2013 - improves performance up to 8 percent
- DiRT 3 - improves performance up to 7 percent
- Sleeping Dogs - improves performance up to 5 percent
Finally, the new Catalyst release enables automatic AMD Eyefinity configurations and automatic plug-and-play configuration of supported Ultra HD/4K tiled displays.
Happy gaming!
