    I just downloaded and installed the new 12.8 drivers. My system now tells me i have an ATI Firepro M7820. Good thing or bad thing? Anyone else upgrade?

    Depends, do you use AutoCAD or any other CAD (Computer Aided Design) software?

    Nope. Strictly gaming. I'll test out the performance differences in a little while. Anyone else update their drivers yet?

    I have recently completed a clean Windows 7 Pro install, upgraded the system bios and vbios to current revisions and installed CCC 12.8 also. I got the same results as you...CCC, GPU-Z and others indicate I have an ATI FirePro M7820. Not much on the internet about this other than it does occasionally happen. Did you ever get this resolved?
