    Working fine for me. But the Pci Bus driver is the same as the one I posted yesterday, so probably still issues for you.

    And nothing shows up in the event log for mmload or dwm. Maybe it's a Win 8 thing and AMD is giving Win 7 the finger.

    Personally, I say just upgrade to Win 8 :D

    Just installed for Win8 64 Pro with intel 3071.. seems to work just fine so far (fingers crossed... not :) )
    One thing that amaze me, 7970m voltage on desktop is 0,825 V !!

    BTW, thanks for posting this @ omnid88

    Yeah Nvidia definitely has a better cooling, power efficient design for mobile gaming.

    Played 15 minutes of TR with 3720 maxxed out and 7970m core1001, mem 1490, stock vcore.
    Max CPU temp 78 C, Max GPU temp 83 C, room temp 24 C.
    I think that frametimes are improved. Averaged 20-25 milliseconds on Afterburner!!!

    Yup, seems good in some games. I have to stop playing WarFrame since that game runs so garbage on this Enduro.

    Is it just me, or is Assassin's Creed 3 less laggy? Framerate and utilization still seem to be problematic, but the game seems smoother.

    I can confirm that 13.5 b2 works with the new Intel drivers (3071) without DWM / Aero crashing. But I can also confirm that the latest Intel drivers cause game performance to dip by 20% (at least in DX9 games like CoD4).

    #EDIT: OS is Windows 7 x64

    Assassins creed 3 is laggy on every graphics card in the world. No driver can fix that, the game is broken.

    ^ To add to that, Windows experience Index test crashes with the latest intel driver and 13.5 beta 2. It works with the previous Intel driver. I have not tried 13.4 and couldn't be bothered.

    First Enduro, now this. The drama never ends with AMD does it.

    i believe those claim they have no issue with intel 3071 will finally realize they also have problem. just matter of time. just like last year some people said they did not encounter any problem with enduro

    Nah, it ran extremely smooth on my friend notebook with a GTX 460M @ 1600x900, all Normal, even in Boston. I know that is ridiculous, I was also really shocked when I saw that.

    Concerning the topic, 13.5b2 works fine with previous Intel driver 2932, the Windows Index test crashed with the latest one of Intel.
