    Ok.. Releasing a new beta every 4 days for 1-2 fix's is kinda redundant and ridiculous, but on the bright side at least they are allowing the fans to test out the software to ensure a flawless official release, good on AMD! :)

    It is adjustable if you're using Intel display, under AMD, it is still not working.
