    Should this improve all cards, or just the newest set?

    Performance gains and frame pacing improvements should be seen across the board.

    Hi jigger,

    No, that was the previous beta driver. This Omega (14.12) driver is the latest WHQL driver from AMD so i recommend you use this one instead.

    Re: AMD Special Edition Driver: Catalyst Omega

    Hello everyone,

    I've noticed that some users are reporting that the Catalyst Omega drivers are failing to install since the drivers are ‘unsigned’ and the device manager shows a Code 52 error. The Catalyst Omega driver is WHQL certified, so all components are signed.

    The root cause is Microsoft update KB3004394 – (Windows Root Certificate Program in Windows) which was released yesterday. Uninstalling the update fixes the driver installation issue.

    You can read more about the various issues this update causes at the following link:
