AMD Releases Catalyst 15.6 Driver for Batman: Arkham Knight

The drivers ARE stable, there's no problem with that. AMD repeatedly said the betas go through the same testing as the WHQL ones, and there are literally no differences. The name is a bit unfortunate though, and they should change it into something less "controversial".

If that is true why don't they fork out the measly amount for a WHQL cert?

This also does not inspire confidence:

Download our latest beta driver and get a preview of what we're currently working on.
Note! This driver is provided "AS IS" and under the terms and conditions of the End User License Agreement provided therewithin.

I'm willing to admit it's as simple as a terminology change but they need to clear that up. Any links to where they have said that, that you know of?
 
I believe WHQL signed drivers are required for... something somewhere in Windows... under some circumstances. Plus it's a snake oil.

In short, MUH ENTIRPRYS
And WHQL is also probably (not sure, I don't run it) needed to be included in driver updates through Windows Update, which the only way how 99% of plebs ever update their drivers.
