AMD need more than one person working on their drivers.
What a utter joke.
Strange Brigade well wow you have really been working very hard this month well done.
amazing amount of fixes and updates making nvidia look so bad.
NV driver history of the past months: hotfix of hotfix of hotfix. NV is producing some major BS drivers in the last 1,5-2 years.
