Earlier today, we shared a new driver for NVIDIA’s graphics cards. Well, AMD has not forgotten its users and has also released a new beta driver that brings performance optimizations in both Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare and Assassin’s Creed: Unity.
Those interested can download the new Catalyst 14.11.1 Beta driver from here.
And here is its key release notes:
Performance Improvements
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare performance optimizations
Assassin’s Creed Unity performance optimizationsKnown Issues
[408930]: Occasional stuttering in Assassin’s Creed® Unity in CrossFire mode under specific game settings
[409235]: Small chance of intermittent screen tearing or corruption in Call of Duty®: Advanced Warfare on high settings 4K resolution in AMD CrossFire™ mode
[408706]: Quad CrossFire AMD Radeon™ R9 295X2 may sometimes black screen when loading a game in Call of Duty®: Advanced Warfare
[409199]: AMD Radeon™ R9 280X/280 may experience a crash when playing Call of Duty®: Advanced Warfare and a video at the same time. If you experience this issue a work around is turning off the video while playing the game.
[409177]: CrossFire users may experience intermittent flickering in Call of Duty®: Advanced Warfare menus. As a work around if this issue is seen restarting the game may cause the issue to disappear.

Jesus!, and the people complain about nvidia support, in fact i can’t realize why people still buys AMD.
They came out with a new driver at the same time. How is one worse than the other?
It’s the internet, you have to pick a side, and defend it to death!
Oh and doesn’t matter what side you choose, it’ll be always the wrong one.
It’s actually looking like Ubisoft, NVIDIA and AMD have come through this time, both have an optimised driver before release and SLI/CF on release
Yeah, that was kinda of a “surprise”. It should be a common thing though.
At least it’s something I suppose…
Edit: WTF is wrong with posting a simple image on disquss? o_O
LMAO
Wow, AMD stepped up with the drivers before release of ACU, good job, looks like they have the game for driver optimisation.
Yayy!!! Fantastic Job! This is what i wanted!
I hate it when they’re being vague in these release notes. After reading the known issues, it’s like “your CrossFire might or might not be of any use in this game”. I just ordered a 970 so I’ll be testing all the games I play on both the 970 and 280X CF and see which one ends up being the better choice for me. Lately CF and AMD has been disappointing in terms of support for new releases.
Gtx 970 is far more better choice than R9 280x. i guess there is no need for you to test both!
2x 280X is faster than a single 970, if scaling works right. I already have the cf setup, so I’m thinking of replacing it due to bad support in new games.
i was talking about single r9 280x.. 😛
Then you are good to go..
it doesnt fix shit for me
