    The switchable graphics setting is missing.
    6620G + 6650M Dual-Graphic.

    "DON'T DOWNLOAD THIS DRIVER BECAUSE THEY CAUSED A BSoD ON MY UNIQUE COMPUTER SETUP" is all I'm hearing... (unique meaning that very few people, if any have the exact same hardware as you). Seems kinda silly right?

    Can't get these drivers to install correctly even after a full uninstall/clean using the uninstall tool. The setup also won't let me open the log file to find out what is going wrong.

    try this:

    1. Install all available Windows updates.
    2. Uninstall all AMD software
    3. Reboot
    4. Disable active GPU driver if any
    5. Install driver
    6. Reboot

    Works perfectly for me.

    I installed it exactly same as any WHQL/beta. Just run setup, select custom install, got through. Done, restart. No issue. Never had any.

    People do not have to do uninstall unless they want to downgrade.

    This driver is a pile of **** :( I have much worse performance in SC II than I did with the 13.6's + 13.5 CAP's. Even loading CSGO, the menu lags to 14 fps and I am barely able to click on any of the menu options. When I finally get into the game it's fluctuating between 55 and 220 non stop while flickering as opposed to 299 constant. Dota 2 chops slightly when it was smooth as butter before. I haven't even installed BF3 again because of this.

    Is this just me? I don't understand how some people are like "wow works great." lol...

    RIP my hopes and dreams of this actually being a step forward after all the hype.

    I think it's worth noting that flip queue size is adjustable in this driver. Kind of makes it completely worth it for my single card setup!

    Also worth noting that when XFire is disabled, similar results as previous driver versions. WTF AMD.

    Just use 13.5B2 until AMD remembers that some people are using Dual Graphics.

    I, opposite to your experience have in CS:GO menu have 120fps (I limit it) with 46% utilization weirdly high.
    In game I have permanent smooth 120fps (again limited) while GPU utilization is only 51%.

    So, please can you nVidia representatives stop nuking AMD's achievements of any kind. Stop insulting us customers by nuking AMD's twitter.
    This behavior is exactly reason why I do not have nVidia GPU.

    Have a nice day full of yourself.

    Should I update these drivers?

    Have an AMD Radeon 6530D Radeon and APU A6-3620, Is it worth installing these for my setup or just waiting til I upgrade to 8.1, and need 8.1 compatible driver?

    Currently running 13.4 WQHL
