I haven't seen anything weird on my HD5750 yet. Let's hope they didn't introduce any new bugs like in 13.1. Also I updated my driver version sheet. Should I add a section of links to the legacy driver downloads as well?

Would anyone recommend updating from 13.9 for my ATI 4770 on Win 7 64 bit 12.6 for my ATI 5850 on Win 7 64 bit. If so what benefits would I get, if any? 13.9 is the most current legacy driver. Legacy cards are HD4000 series & older. The processing time on my 5750 have gone down about 13% since switching drivers. The might just be luck of the draw in the tasks and not the driver.

YMMV. ID: 1580568 ·

It looks as though 14.9 has finally solved the Wake from Sleep Bug that has been plaguing my 7750. So far not any problems. I have narrowed it down to the Gigabyte 7750, the 6770 doesn't have the problem. I was about to swap the cards out again until this release. Strange that 14.9 works where 14.7 RC3 still had the problem... ID: 1583065 ·
