    I just got the new 2013 Samsung Series 7 Chronos with AMD 8870m. For some reason HWInfo and Device Manager is telling me I have an 8850m installed and I know this is a glitch.


    Where are the drivers for the 8000m series since I can't find them on the AMD/ATI website?

    Really? 8000M have been supported in AMD drivers for MONTHS now. Download the latest drivers... Not surprising since it's just a 7000M with a new name. Yes checked, I see the VEN ID for the 8870M in the a lot of drivers released past month. Believe they appeared MONTHS ago though.

    AMD Catalyst

    Or better yet, check your OEM's website.

    What system do you have? If you have a Sony, get your drivers from Sony. Some companies opted out of the unified driver program from AMD... If not, then install ANY drivers from the past year, they all support your 7670M...

    No I mean the 13.1 WHQL. From comments seems the 13.3 Leshcat are not ready for prime time, buggy.
