Best AMD Drivers to download?

[dream11]

I was getting major fps drops and slow downs in games, as well as the screen freezing and going black and eventually crashing while using the 13.3 beta driver. Should I use 13.1 or the 13.2 amd driver? Thnx

What card do you have?
List the rest of your system, as well.

Have you checked CPU/GPU temps while gaming? No overheating?

For me, the 13.1's have been rock solid. But the newer beta's do offer some speed improvements.

I'll chime in with a few questions too.

Which games causes the crashes?
Crashing is obviously unplayable even with stellar FPS, so have you tried the non-beta drivers? If yes, do they also slow down/crash the game?

I'm on 13.3 beta 3, which has worked fine for bioshock infinite and borderlands 2 so far.

Your OC was not stable, sounds like you went back to stock speeds and it's working now?

Sorry. Thought this thread was long gone. Almost 200 views and no replies last time I checked. xD

yes my problems fixed. my overclock was unstable. :3 I'm still curious whether I should upgrade from 13.1 to either 13.2 or 13.3 beta tho..

I used 13.1 and now 13.3 beta 3 with no problems...
Use the newest, I'd say.
