AMD has released a new beta driver for its graphics cards. According to its changelog, this new driver adds support for AMD Mantle and AMD True Audio in THIEF, and improves stuttering observed in CrossFire mode. Obviously, you will also need THIEF’s latest update (that will release later today) in order to run the game via the Mantle API.
