With Radeon HD 7990 introduction, AMD also presented a new Catalyst driver 13.5 beta 2, addressing some frame pacing issues found on Crossfire systems. The driver is expected to be released at second half of 2013 but already made a debut in a prototype form in Radeon HD 7990 launch reviews. It’s still a work in progress but results are quite promising.
