AMD Catalyst 14.2 Beta v1.3 for Windows is Now Available
AMD launched Catalyst 14.2 Beta v1.3, the second major public release of its software suite this year. The driver brings stability and performance improvements to Mantle, and comes in time for Thief, the second AAA game title that supports Mantle and AMD TrueAudio. The driver also corrects frame-pacing for dual-graphics in non-XDMA (classic CrossFire) setups, at resolutions above 2560 x 1600 pixels. The installer now re-integrates AMD Gaming Evolved app by Raptr, which optimizes games for your hardware at the click of a button.

worked here, for me...
13.12 - 36FPS
14.2 - 32FPS & lots of stutter.
The driver also "lost" my Eyefinity profile....
I havn't had a chance to play anything else but Thief at least isn't seeing the performance improvements it should be on this system.
