    im sincerly sorry for my ignorance as for being a comp noob,
    but i really cant proceed with my own knowledge so i post a thred again
    please be kind to give detailed instructions if you have spare time

    so i tried amd official drivers and didnt work,
    so i assumed DNA driver was my last try to prevent games from flickering and tearing.

    i downloaded the DNA-AMD GFX 11.8.3-prev
    first i installed it on top of my pre-installed HP drivers
    and nothing seemed to be changed,

    so i tried to uninstall hp stock drivers but window kept re installing the stock drivers and i just kept installing the dna and right now my driver version says 8.880.8.0 i dont know if this is DNA driver or hp driver..

    and games still tear and flicker..so i assume it failed..

    i read somewhere to do uninstall and reinstall drivers you have to go on safe mode, but i dont remember correctly

    so if anyone could give me detailed instruction of installing DNA drivers i would appreciate very much...like alot.. bc constant horizontal tearing while gameing really feel depressed..like i cant kill anyone ( i play AVA)

    8.880.x.x = DNA 11.8.3
    8.882.x.x = HP Driver

    Try restore CCC to factory default.

    I would suggest to start all over uninstall the drivers, both completely.
    Then Install the HP Stock drivers( the whole package)
    After that install the DNA 11.8.3 AMD Drivers only nothing else so you can keep the CCC, so that you'll be able to use the switchable graphics. The driver should overwrite the stock driver.

    Hey Acid, been meaning to ask you if you noticed any difference in FPS for DNA 11.8.3 and 8.882 HP Stock, I'm currently using stock and I just don't feel like going through the hassle of reverting back if it is no good.

    In particular I'm playing BF3, I think you said you play it in previous threads? (Can't remember)

    Also, if you know whether or not temperatures increase in DNA as opposed to using HP, that'd be great too!
