    Jesus these are utter sh!te, seemed to install faster than previous sets which was nice, and they finally updated the logos etc..., then after the mandatory restart, was on the Blue Welcome screen for ages, then i just had a black screen with a DOS box top right (which you get normally flashing on/off when you first install new drivers, as its something else the drivers do), and an error message saying windows can't find Firefox.exe, took the ******* straight off! :D

    Go in to safe mode and use DDU, then try again.

    Around 200 points more in Firestrike (9277) and zero problems.

    I have also compared the two installers and looks like only the package was rebuilt, the driver itself is the same.

    LE: there seem to be some an extra device from the R7 200 series and a few different setting in the .inf files of the newer package. Most likely no reason to reinstall if the leaked one works.

    Really the best driver yet. All but solved my frametime problems in Battlefield 4, and performance is up across the board.
    Moreover, the firefox HTML5 video BSOD bug seems to be fixed!

    Used DDU, still the same, found it only does it on first boot after the drivers are first installed (after the mandatory reboot), as found the desktop eventually appears and all loads up fine, after i get rid of the Windows can't find Firefox.exe.

    Think i might know what it is though, when installing the drivers for the first time, it always opens up IE for something, but i think now, its trying to do it via FF (which i use), but seen as its trying to do it straight away, before anythings had a chance to load up, its throwing up that can't find it error, as when i popped the 14.4 RC1s back on, was all fine again, as those do the IE like previous sets. :p

    Seem fine, 3D Mark 11 got a boost, couple of hundred points, so now going to try a few other benchies, Metro 2033/LL, and a few other game ones, see if they around same still. :)

    It's finally possible to change image scaling option without going to the lower desktop resolution than your native. This is like the best thing that happened with the CCC since forever.

    Astonishing reasoning you have there.

    I had fun after installing these too, it installed the USB Filter drivers which killed my keyboard and mouse, so I had to hit power to shutdown then reboot, which didn't work to finish the install because of 8.1's fast boot - and still had no control after it booted, I ended up having to hit reset to force it to reboot fully

    you cannot run ultra textures with 3gb without loading bottlenecks, its been proven.

    stick with high.

    I have a 7670M and an 2.3 i3 mobile. I've noticed that the framerate when using emulators has dropped significantly and it's way more choppier than on 14.4.

    Everything seems to be up about 1.5/2fps, temps seems to be up by 4/5 degrees as well, so must be working more.

    Yeah they've changed them, as at first, i thought they hadn't installed properly they went in that fast, but seems the speed up of them going in is the norm now, which is better tbh. :p

    Just don't know why its trying to open FF virtually on the Welcome screen, as its bound to not be found then, at least give it time to finish booting up, may as well do it on the Post Screen, or just before the spinning balls, as wont be found then either! :D

    Not sure about the firefox thing, I didn't get any popup or browser opening during or after the install

    Usually after installing a Beta, after the first reboot IE will open to AMDs survey page, but not this time
