    Yeah use the latest one.. These Dell drivers only cause problems etc when upgrading drivers later on and are totally obsolete...

    Wanted to test benchmarks and see how the brightness was also 15x and 14.12 had cry engine errors.

    Well i am running 14.12 now with crossfire 7970m and that's right i have some fps drop on crysis 3, i don't know if it's due to the cpu or other. In any other game i have no problem.

    Could you give monster hunter benchmark a run I was getting artifacts when the raptors attack the grazing dinosaurs.

    Ok on 14.9.
