It's been a while since we last benched AMD Catalyst drivers which is our fault and not AMD's. Anyway AMD repleased the Catalyst 12.9 Beta two weeks ago on the 26th of September so we are going to test it and compare it with no less that 12 previous Catalyst drivers. Spoiler Alert: As soon as we started to test the 12.9 Beta we noticed a performance increase over the previous 12.8 WHQL which is always a good sign.
