    Hi,

    I'd like to get the best performance out of my HD 5650 but I also don't want to miss the switchable graphics feature.

    Currently, I have the latest drivers from Acer installed which is 8.840.7.4000 for the HD 5650.

    I have read that newer drivers directly from AMD supply a better performance but that there are also some bugs (especially when it comes to switching the graphics chips).

    Can anybody confirm the better performance with AMD drivers?
    Is there a way to keep my system running smoothly with better performance?
