14 DAY TRIAL // AMD has announced the availability of its new 15.9 beta Catalyst graphics package, which fixes some Diablo 3 crashes spotted in the Act 2 Desolate Sands area, adds Star Wars: Battlefront Beta performance and quality optimizations, and includes various other changes.
Specifically speaking, the present release includes the latest DirectX 12 improvements to the Fable Legends: Benchmark, removes the bug that caused Dragon Age: Inquisition to crash when launched in Mantle mode, and corrects Anti Aliasing settings so that the changes are retained properly.
In addition to that, World of Warships won’t crash on AMD Radeon HD5000 and HD6000 series GPUs anymore, and the frame stuttering issue encountered in CrossFire mode with Assassin's Creed Unity has been fixed.
Last but not least, AMD’s developers team has also managed to remove some BENQ 144hz Freesync bugs that led to DiRT Rally crashes during gameplay and benchmarking (in DirectX 11 mode), or caused these monitors to lose signal while uninstalling driver.
However, don’t forget that this update is still a beta release, thus, you might experience GTA V crashes on certain GPUs, various corruptions in Mad Max and DiRT Rally, as well as a few other problems on specific configurations and games (please review the Release Notes below).
As far as compatibility goes, Catalyst 15.9 beta is suitable for certain AMD GPU models that are running under Microsoft’s Windows 7, 8.1, or 10 operating systems, either bit architecture. Even if it might seem to work, do not try to apply this package on other OSes in order to avoid any problems.
That being said, download AMD Catalyst Graphics Driver 15.9 Beta, install it on your computer, perform a system reboot upon completion, and enjoy the changes this new release brings about. Also, check our website as often as possible to stay “updated one minute ago.”
