    That's good!!! I'm benching at the moment, and my GPU doesn't perform at all, scores lower than stock... no idea what's the problem. The CPU runs like a beast...

    Release notes says: Resolves system hangs seen in the AMD Catalyst 11.6 driver on specific HDMI and DP displays

    That sounds like something I've been experiencing. Dell even replaced mobo and HDD, and are coming to pick up my system tomorrow :p Gonna be so lame if this driver fixes the issue:O

    Weird,

    When I try to install the driver, it says I do not have the proper hardware.
