    I was just wondering if the opencl problem has been actually fixed yet. I bought my model in June of this year if that helps. Basically I've downloaded every driver version applicable from 940 to 951. None of them seem to be fixing the problem. My Radeon is still not being detected by CCC or Photoshop. I think my last resort is a clean install.

    Please try option 1 first because we haven't determined whether the 2nd option is needed yet:

    OPTION 1:
    Fully uninstall 8.940
    Reboot
    Clean with driversweeper: Phyxion.net - Driver Sweeper
    Reboot
    Reinstall 8.940 http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.c...02/20120228191136307/VGA_AMD_8.940.0.0000.ZIP
    Reboot.
    Test your programs and view load on the Radeon with GPU-Z: techPowerUp! :: Downloads

    If it doesn't work, then try:

    OPTION 2
    Fully uninstall 8.940
    Clean with driversweeper and then reboot
    Install latest Leshkat driver for Switchable Graphics (now 12.7): LESHCATLABS.NET
    Reboot.
    Test your programs and check load using GPU-Z. You will notice the GPU fan stays on constantly.
    Fully uninstall Leshkat
    Reboot
    Clean with driversweeper and then reboot
    Reinstall 8.940 and reboot again.

    Please report your results to options 1 and 2 above back here.
