One thing I've noticed -
actually now in TR benchmark I DO see corruption of hair (it does now occlude with the model of Lara, on earlier drivers the hair has flown 'around' the model, now sometimes it flows just 'through' the back of Lara's model).

But anyway - since I've not found any other issues - for me, for now - it's a keeper

Nothing to do with this driver. A patch was released for Tomb Raider that removed the invisible barrier that caused the hair to float in the air.

Hmm... interesting... I do have 718.4 but will now update to latest to see if it was fixed...

Something's fishy

tombraider is still ****ed lol
even after the recent update + graphics card update, when i enable tressfx with crossfire enabled, my game freezes with sound loop, and it happens randomly most of the time when fmv`s apear lol, with tressfx off though its smooth sailing :/

also they still have not fixed hardware acceleration corruption, when viewing flash stuff or steam videos or websites with flash videos my screen completely corruption i managed to get rid of it by pressing ALT+F4 i tryed taking a screenshot
but all that appears in the screen shot is a perfectly uncorrupted desktop lol

i wish i never bought these 7 series cards, there nothing but problem after problem....think im going nvidia next....

to be perfectly honest i think its the displayout ports on 7 series cards that have the issues, i mean i have had hdmi audio out issues with these cards from day 1 and sometimes they work when i reboot other times there broken when i reboot or working but disabled lol
