    Wait, Brig

    I have 13.11 and it said the same thing for Rome 2. Improves performance up to 10%. So is this additive or inclusive? I think it's inclusive, meaning that the same 10% gain of 13.11 is in 13.11 Beta6. Not 10% MORE with Beta6.

    1-2fps more, I guess I'm so heavily CPU limited.

    It doesn't say its limited to 7k series cards, and the list doesn't include the other games listed for optimisations in the 13.11 Beta. There is a remote chance this is a further improvement (or someone just screwed up. Either way, wish I could install these things)

    I think inclusive as nvidia also repeatedly claim same improvements over several versions

    Default New AMD BETA driver 13.11 v7 (28/10/2013), performance improvement for Rome II

    The latest beta driver for AMD cards is supposed to improve performance in Rome II up to 10% (and not just on the 7000 series, like the first beta). You can download it here http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-arti...dows-beta.aspx and see if it helps in your case.

    ATTENTION: If you do not un-check it during the installation this driver version will install the raptr AMD Gaming Evolved app (http://raptr.com/amd), which basically is nVidia experience for AMD (but has less game presets at the moment), personally I find it useless, but if you have a hard time adjusting game settings by yourself it could come in handy, once enough games are supported, Rome II isn't supported yet.

    You are very much welcome, sir! If you do install it, be wary of the "AMD Gaming Evolved app" it will be selected by default when installing, but you might not want it.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that improvement an effect carried over from beta 6 and not a new addition in the latest beta?

    You are entirely correct, and now that I look more in detail Graham did announce them (beta 6), but his thread got merged with the nVidia drivers thread (http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...rivers-out-now!), so I didn't see them, my mistake.

    However I'll report my thread, and ask for it to be merged, and also ask if they can make two sticky threads in the tech section, one for AMD and one for nVidia.

    I did notice a marked improvement. The forest benchmark itself now runs pretty much flawlessly on extreme (i7 4770k, 16gb ram, radeon HD 7970 here). Fighting any large battle, however, will still get choppy. The game is still not fully using the CPU and GPU, which I suppose is the main reason why performance is so much worse than in Shogun 2.
    believe in nothing.

    Do you guys read changelog? No Rome 2 improvements in beta 7 since beta 6. (And still nobody has told me if the crossfire flickering has been fixed yet)

    Default Re: AMD Catalyst™ 13.11 Beta9.2 Driver for Windows® get it while its hot, its lovely!

    I had to go back to the 13.9 stable after 13.11v8 beta because it made Assassin's Creed III crash. So I guess I'll just wait until they release the new official version of the drivers. But thanks anyway.

    after losing 4 hours of gaming last weekend, because of a crash and the utterly stupid way ACIII and Uplay handle save-games and cloud backups, I'm not too much in the mood for experimenting, I'm afraid.

    Eh, he did try it and then said he had to go back.

    10% improvement for RTW2, that's not bad. Hopefully Nvidia will be helpful too.
    Generous of you to share the info Brigadier!
