    Looks pretty official to me, it's on the AMD site. :)

    I'm downloading now, thanks for the tip!

    Yes, it's official. There is already another thread with the link and article information as well.

    Looking forward to see how it fares. :)

    i think this was that thread you're talkin about.
    the link to the article is in the op

    about to install.
    can't wait to try out skyrim with this, that micro stutter gets super annoying.
    hope it helps.

    The other thread had not been created yet when I made this one ;) Glad about the confirmation; I have installed it and seems to be about on par with 13.1 maybe slightly smoother in GW2 and Skyrim :)

    ^ oh, when you said 'already made' thought that implied the earliest thread made, which would be this one.

    either way... 13.2 beta 3 seems to have stopped some stuttering in skyrim (ultra) 45 - 60 fps pretty smooth.
    HWinfo still shows no second gpu :(

    The DirectX 11 Far Cry 3 black box issue is still present. Has AMD even acknowledged this issue yet?

    CCC doesn't open, at least for me. I installed the drivers over the previous ones (13.1, windows 8 64).

    As I replied in the other 13.2 thread, Skyrim doesn't look that much smoother to me, stuttering is still horrible. Other than that, 13.2 is as stable as 13.1 so I don't see a reason yet to revert back to 13.1.

    Would you like to test it for me yourself? I think it may take a whole 10 minutes to do so. Please let us know with your results.
