I'm really surprised people still think of notebooks as toys, but that's probably for the same reason as I consider tablets useless.

Right but they are specific from the manufacturer. Not much choice but to what they have available themselves.

Hardware is several orders of magnitude more complex than it was back in the 80s/90s

Back then you were lucky if you needed CD-rom drivers, a Soundblaster/Adlib driver, and in the case of the 90s a proprietary DOS protected mode graphics driver (such as glide). There were very little compatability issues, as there weren't a lot of unique hardware. (Although CD-rom drivers were notorious for screwing things up)

It stands to reason driver development is the same order of magnitude more complex. There is a hell of a lot more functionality than there used to be, requiring a lot more development time and resources.

All this whining about gimme a new driver is just a product of our instant gratification and self-entitled society.

sh1t takes time. Deal with it, or find a new hobby.

Very VERY well put! As a developer myself, I understand the escalation end users keep expecting in development. But people hardly ever exhibit the same work ethic in other fields of work.

After i found a way to sign bouth system files in this driver i installed him with the ccc 9.0 because the 21 Aug ccc didnt worked for me.
The performance isnt better as Aug 9 driver for my gpu.
