    Hey I am having trouble with the new drivers on my setup, where the driver installs but doesn't correctly identify my graphics cards. It's possible this has been the case with previous drivers, but now that I'm trying to run the new Deus Ex, the game thinks I'm running a 4870, and thus won't let me enable dx 11 mode. this is frustrating, and I cannot tell if it's the new driver or something I can fix. In CPU-Z it also thinks its a 4870, though in CCC its just "5800 series". Anyone have some support or advice? Thanks!
