Download Driver For AMD Catalyst 14.2 Beta 1.3

AMD has released a new beta Catalyst driver. There is only one download and it is only suitable for Windows 7 and above, for both 32bit and 64bit environments. That immediately explains the size of 287MB. Also this time there is no separate download for desktops and laptops, where this is normally the case. The driver itself contains a modest collection of improvements and bug fixes.
