Interesting! May have to try this out. I found with the 14.1 a lot of issues with my switchable graphics (Most of my games would run on the Intel GPU even if I forced the AMD).
Thinking about it, those were Minecraft, and DX9 games. So I guess those issues have been solved.

I wonder if Mantle support would ever get added to MWO? I was skeptical of it at first, but from the games that support it we are definitely seeing a legitimately sized performance increase.

Thanks for the heads up

Edit: Can't seem to find the mobility version of it on their site. Wierd!

Unfortunately I get nothing but BSOD, atimpag.sys error(s) using 2x7770s and win7 64bit... I was really looking forwards to the DX9 fix they were going on about.

But come Tuesday the 4th we get DX11 so I do not mind waiting another two days

Runs well on my single R9 280x but i had uninstalled the old drier b4 as noted in the release doc.

Hope Dx11 will improve the fidelity further!
