BF3 performs fantastically with these drivers (13.2 leaked beta):

 

Even in crowded multi player maps?
What are your settings friend?

Quite impressed with those high FPS if it is maxed out :3

 

Downloaded but haven't installed 13.1 yet. Might as well just skip it and try this beta, lol.

 

BF3 gets higher FPS with the 13.2 beta leak? How is smoothness (latency)?

Either way, I don't recomend downloading this current beta, as it probably isn't well rounded yet. I guess if you run into issues, the feedback would help AMD make the official release better.

 

As you said TrantaLocked, AMD already recommended to NOT install these. And these drivers do not have any improvements for BF3 over the 13.1 WHQL, they were only sent to Tech Report to demonstrate they are working on frame latency through drivers on just three games, GW2, BL2 and Skyrim.

AMD Rep also clearly stated, the leaked 13.2 are only incremental over the 12.11 beta, meaning these don't even have all the improvements and changes that the official 13.2 should have when they are released. Also the flickering and other issues seen in BF3 and other DX10/11 games will be fixed in the official 13.2 released.

The drivers with the real frame latency fix with GCN's memory controller rewrite will come later. These are not beta ready for use by consumers, these are in-house testing drivers it seems.

Ok reading further back in the thread, Thracks, even gave out his first name now. Robert. He will be the official marketing face of AMD. And he in very large, italic and underlined and red font said, WAIT FOR OFFICIAL 13.2.

 

For me, this beta is better with AC3 than the 13.1 WHQL. Probably performing at the 12.11b11 level, and Afterbuner works

 

In case you don't understand, here it's stated very clearly.

 

If you don't want to move to 13.1 WHQL and 13.2 beta performs at the same level as 12.11 beta11, stay with 12.11 beta11, which went through proper QA.

 

I think this is why I saw improvement in BF3:
