Wow official support for 7xxx series for new futures! Glad to see it! Although, we went from expecting to have them on 7xxx > angry because it seemed like 7xxx would get no support > extremely happy because of the support Non the less, it is good to see these things officially supported instead of trough modding. And a lot of Crossfire improvements! I am curious how these will perform in comparison to the 1023.10 drivers. Just installed those, and not 5 minutes later, these get released
