Once more AMD has updated their Catalyst drivers and like always performance should be higher with the latest set. We've had a closer look at this driver version and ran a set of benchmarks and games on no less than 10 different AMD graphics cards, where there are models from the R9, HD 7000 and HD 6000 Series. Last but not least there are some rather surprising findings.
