    What happened to ATI 13.2?

    Sorry guys, but I just don't have the time to follow this stuff like I used to. The ATI drivers were on a monthly release schedule, but the last official driver is 13.1. There were a few 13.2 beta drivers, but nothing official, and now we are off to 13.3 betas. Anyone heard anything?

    I saw something a few months ago that said AMD was dropping the monthly driver update cycle. I am not sure how frequently they will be updating but I'll bet it will be quarterly.

    What he said.

    AMD dropped the monthly release cycle to focus on "better" driver releases.

    It's a good idea I think. I just upgraded to 13.1 from 12.1. I just don't have the time or desire to be upgrading every month so I'm fine with the new driver cycle.

    Hopefully you have 12.11 because there was a major increase in performance for the 7xxx series.

    I'm still running 12.10, I'm usually afraid to upgrade because I don't want my performance to go down, sepcifically for BF3, and don't feel like checking reviews each month. quality over quantity sounds good assuming that's what will happen

    You really need to get something 12.11+. They made huge leaps in BF3.

    Sorry about that, I should have said this was for the 7xxx series.
