                       As always, you can grab the driver from AMD’s driver download page. The Windows desktop driver weighs in at 286MB, while the mobility driver weighs in at 270MB.
                       Finally, as these are beta drivers AMD has been asking for bug reports for any and all issues encountered with 14.1. Bug reports may be submitted via AMD’s issue reporting form.

                              I haven't tested the gaming performance yet but I will soon post up the results.Hope it produces better results.

*Note- After installing this AMD Catalyst™ 14.1 Mobility Beta Driver my Laptop's USB 3.0 ports couldn't detect any USB device nor external Mouse,So I used Driver Pack Solution 13 (4.7GB) to scan the missing USB drivers and it installed them automatically and the all the 3.0 ports are working now.
Alternative to Driver Pack Solution is Driver Genius Pro (about 25MB).This the youtube link for downloading and installing Driver Genius Pro,Click Here....
