AMD catalyst 14.6 beta - troubles??

from Elemental Forums

Went to run the Starswarm test last night, and found out the regular line of catalyst drivers doesn't have mantle included. You need to run the 14.6 beta version to have mantle enabled.

So far I have done a basic google search and found plenty of people in both camps, running great and having trouble. So basically I'm just looking for a bit of anecdotal evidence from a crowd who presumably plays a lot of 4x games, both from Stardock and others, as do I.

Been running the drivers since released, no problems. I play Don't Starve, Sanctum 2, Diablo 3, Planetary Annihilation, Endless Legend.

Edit: On a 7990 card with watercooling.

I haven't had any issues with the latest beta drivers.

14.4 whql has mantle... mantle has been in since 14.1 beta (though 14.4 is the only whql one so far)

I'm looking forward to (finally) being able to purchase a Kaveri Laptop, which Mantle can utilize.  AMD has been being real slow on getting those mobile APUs to retail, but fortunately my circa 2007 laptop is still holding out!  Hopefully sometime this month...

Thanks for all the input guys, gave the 14.6 beta drivers a try, and so far they are working great. Star Swarm with mantle.... wow, what a difference!!
