    Hoping someone else has experienced this - Seemingly at random, my color quality will change itself from 32-bit to 16-bit, and will stay at 16-bit until I go into CCC, change to 16-bit and apply, and then change back to 32-bit and apply. A restart also fixes this, of course.

    Not currently overclocking or doing anything other than stock/default in CCC.

    Any ideas or suggestions on how to replicate the problem for further troubleshooting?

    It's a problem with 10.10 drivers - downgrade to 10.8 or use 10.11.

    I had this issue before and now how hakira state the problem seem to be associated with 10.10 (even with dna mod). Now with 10.11 this issue is no more. Just update your drivers.

    driver issue... but i didn't have such problems with 10.10.. in fact 10.10 was very unstable for me.. looks like ATI have hit the nail with 10.11.. perfectly stable..
