    Hi, I just downloaded and installed the AMD 12.5 driver version 8.970.0. GPU-Z is showing the correct driver version but it says 12.4 I couldn't believe the increase in fps with this driver,and the install went without a hiccup, unusual for AMD

    You should uninstall the driver again and run a driversweep and then reinstall the driver you want. maybe the driver files are interfering with eachother. i would do that first before all
