Download Driver For AMD Catalyst 13.9

AMD has finally come up with new stable Catalyst drivers. The drivers are suitable for Windows 7 and above, with separate downloads as usual for 32bit and 64bit environments. The drivers for Windows Vista and XP are still stuck at version 13.4. The drivers are suitable for Radeon models from the HD 5000 series. The HD 2000, 3000 and 4000 series, now referred to as Legacy, will follow at a later date. Version 13.9 adds support for the soon to be released Windows 8.1 and of course several bug fixes have been made.
