AMD’s latest Catalyst driver for Radeon graphics cards is a Beta driver that tackles a handful of issues. It is the 15.10 Beta driver (15 because 2015, 10 because October), and it is most interesting if you’re playing Ashes of the Singularity due to some new DirectX 12 quality and performance optimizations. Additionally, the driver has a handful of other resolved issues and remaining known issues, listed below.
