This would only apply to owners of select GCN cards (certain Radeon HD 7xxx cards), and probably future cards, but basically, the memory management that is presently in-use for cards of this architecture, isn’t as great as it can be. AMD is thus re-writing this memory management, and this will mean some decent performance benefits

Here’s a page specifically on how the re-write will affect GW2:

Hope to get a copy of the beta soon. Too bad it’s not on the AMD Website =/

That is a leaked 13.2 Beta driver (do take heavy note of the words “leaked” and “beta”), for anyone interested.

From the looks of it, the leaked version may not have the new memory stuff in it.

the world grid isn’t gone though, sadly. Textures still flash (disappear for a split-second) sometimes even with Catalyst AI (no longer named such in 13.2) off.
