AMD has released a new beta Catalyst driver. The driver is only suitable for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, and can be used for both 32bit and 64bit environments, which immediately explains the download size of 329MB. Support for Windows 8.0 has been discontinued with version 14.6 and AMD therefore recommends installing the free update to Windows 8.1. The new driver only contains FreeSync improvements, a technology similar to Nvidia’s G-Sync, which should prevent tearing on LCD screens.
