    Hi Guys,

    Is anyone else experiencing problems with the AMD 12.8 WHQL Drivers with performance / Utilization issues and Random crashes?

    I Upgraded my drivers today and they are behaving like Crazy. I directly installed them (did not use driver sweeper). Anyone else have any insight on this issue?

    How did you you install directly ?. I have clevo with 7970m the first thing is install driver that comes from clevo and then run 12.8 , press custom installation, then only tick amd display drivers and the rest should unticked (note: some of them cant be unticked), then install driver. Any other way will cause driver problem because you laptop manufacture has specific hardware on gpu and require their drivers to install . 12.8 catalyst run fine here no problem in CIV5. I suggest you un-install amd , then run driver sweeper in safe mode, then install your oem driver, then do custom installation of amd 12.8 driver
