New AMD driver: 15.3

[Mazhurg]

New AMD driver released at http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/latest-catalyst-windows-beta.aspx

Anyone wanting to be a guinea pig and report if it breaks anything with the OR?

Unfortunately no words on crossfire and Elite Dangerous profiles. (Hoping that it also plays better with crossfire).

I'll give it a shot in the morning. I've got nothing to lose on my puny rig

I'm installing the drivers now - will give them a bash over the next 24 hours and report back.
Worth mentioning that this is now a feature - could be interesting:

You'll need a monitor which implements Displayport 1.2a to use that, which I am pretty sure the DK2 doesn't. It's a very new VESA standard.

(Also, I remember the AMD "new drivers" hell, you're a brave and possibly foolish man, good on you )

CCC 14.4 here, no way am I going to break my rift by upgrading.

I've had no issues with the latest drivers and the rift that I've noticed. However! I've had a couple of instances where the desktop image hasn't resumed after sleep - and I'm wondering whether it's to do with the beta drivers.

Right now, I can't see any reason to suggest that it's of any benefit to upgrade.

I have no benchmark data but i think performance is better with these.These are good drivers.
