AMD Catalyst 13.5 Beta Windows drivers have been released and are available here.

Per @catalystcreator, the CAPs are already included in the 13.5 beta. But, if you're on 13.4 WHQL drivers you may want to grab the latest 13.4 CAP 1.

and whats so important about 13.5 ?

I had problems with my screen DisplayPort to install version 13.5b2, and several people at the same thing happened.

For now, I'd rather stay in the 13.4

Both 13.4 and 13.5 have caused me some issues when creating an Eyefinity display group. The group creates just fine and lets me specify the arrangement of the screens, but then it flips out when trying to set bezel compensation and the resolution reverts to something like 2400x800 instead of 5760x1080 and will not allow me to raise it back to the native resolution unless I disable the Eyefinity display group and try again. If I try it enough times, I can eventually get the Eyefinity group successfully created w/ bezel compensation but it's a pain in the ass.

13.5 was also giving me displayport failures while playing Borderlands 2, so I ended up rolling back to 13.4, which hasn't given me the same problem.

Both 13.3, 13.4 and 13.5 have reintroduced the humorous bug under which your on-screen cursor will change into a line of 5 or 6 mini cursors when moving between screens. It can be fixed by moving the cursor back and forth between screens until it corrects itself or by enabling mouse trails, but I hate mouse trails. Funny to see this particular bug crop back up, 'cause the last time I saw it was under the 10.X driver series when I was using 5870s instead of 7950s.

So, I guess you could say I haven't been impressed with the 13.X series lately.

The mouse-looking-weird bug has occurred for me for a long time, longe before the 13.x drivers. I'm using 13.3 currently but when I upgraded to 13.5 Beta 2, my 4th auxiliary monitor seized to work completely in Windows. It would show up as working as it should under the the Control Panel but the actual monitor remained without any signal. Reverting to 13.3 using System Restore, everything was fine. Tried it several times with the same result... No 13.5 driver for me...
