    This driver has been stable as hell for me... I'm really enjoying it :) I would do a clean reinstall of the drivers and hopefully should work.. Or it might just be your Mac :p

    In what way? I read that the water would flicker occasionally. Is that what you saw?

    It's a known problem according to AMD.
    Intermittent Installation Issues With the AMD Catalyst™ 14.9 Driver

    14.9 sounds surprisingly unstable for a stable driver.
