    Is there a page on AMDs website with the mobility link? I guess it doesn't matter either way, as I don't plan on upgrading until serious issues are fixed and/or performance for the games I play is improved. Good to finally see another WHQL though. I hope this one works well with our Clevo laptops.

    Good to know there's another WHQL. If the 13.5 b2 I have installed acts up, at least I have something to go to.

    I'm using 13.1, worth the upgrade?

    In case anyone needs them, here are the 13.4 release notes (from AMD's site): AMD Catalyst

    I'm still on 13.1 myself, but I may try these over the weekend to see if there are any gains.

    Just installed these over 13.1 WHQL and I see no issues. Works great in BL2.
    I didn't uninstall anything, and I'm still on the stock Intel driver.

    Thanks.

    I went ahead and installed these over 13.1 with no issues.

    Far Cry 3 runs much better. As does Tomb Raider, and a few others.

    I had issues where the HDMI driver wouldn't install with 13.1, but 13.4 worked perfectly. This was on a Sager NP9370.

    Assassin's Creed 3 is never going to perform better than in its current state... the game is broken in this instance of under utilisation.

    Not sure on this driver, but the 13.5b seems to stay above 20 frames in the cities. On the bright side, I haven't gotten any more of those atidxx32.dll crashes from the enduro, so something is being fixed.
