Download Driver For AMD Catalyst 15.9 Beta

AMD has released a new beta Catalyst driver. The driver is only suitable for Windows 7, 8.1 and 10, with a separate download for 32bit and 64bit environments. Windows 8.0 is no longer supported since version 14.6 and AMD therefore recommends installing the free update to Windows 8.1 or 10. In this driver we find optimizations for the games Star Wars: Battlefront and Fable Legends, among other things. Furthermore, various problems have been solved and AMD also has a number that are already known, but are still being worked on. One such problem is that all video memory is used when a browser screen is resized. According to AMD, if you are bothered by this, it is better to stick to version 15.7.1.
