    Hello,
    Just a simple poll asking what current version of AMD Catalyst Control Center you are using. If you could also comment on its performance and stability that would be great. I know I have had varying results in gaming quality based on the version I had installed. The goal of this thread is to find the most stable and best performing driver version.

    Stock.

    I am a Windows Live Messenger user and I made the attempt use the 11.5 HP update they released. Though, after installed, I discovered that my dv6tqe-6000 could nolonger manually switch graphics unless I first closed out Messenger (which starts during startup - I like it that way). I am not a gamer or big graphics user, so it is no big deal for me to stay with v11.4. Now if I knew that later versions corrected for this inconvenience, then I would whole-heartedly upgrade.

    I don't see an HP version AMD 11.5. I only see an 11.4 version.

    Also, about you being prevented to switch for WLM is actually a feature of AMD switch detection for fixed mode and will not be removed for fixed mode.

    Didn't I mention this as one of the weakness of fixed mode before, Izagaia?

    I have a dv6z llano. I'm using 11.8 and am able to overclock, and undervolt the apu, and o'clock the 6570. No complaints with the 11-8 drivers. My 3dmark11 performance score is 2026, Graphics score 2069 or so.
