These are taken from the desktop driver information. Maybe they're not all HD7xxx series rebadged as HD8xxx OEM?
AMD679B.1 = "AMD Radeon HD 8990"
AMD679B.2 = "AMD Radeon HD 8990"Real HD8990 or OEM HD7990 labelled as a HD8990?
7990 rebranded to 8990 OEM.
and of course, Richland APU's
AMD9998.1 = "AMD Radeon HD 8370D"
AMD9996.1 = "AMD Radeon HD 8470D"
AMD990E.1 = "AMD Radeon HD 8570D"
AMD990C.1 = "AMD Radeon HD 8670D"
Ooh, nice, downloading now, will install for both my 3-way HD79xx series as well as my 3rd rig with a HD6990 + HD6970. I was at the nV 320.18 driver section (I have a pair of GTX670 as well) and man, did nVidia drop the ball on that one! Though it seems to mess up Fermis, I'm leery of installing it for my GTX670's just because.....:3eyes:
holy bejeezus, they finally updated the C++ base to 2012.
I teased Thracks that C++ 2010 package in Catalyst is not the newest one and that this one is newest:

Ok, they beated me up, with the most recent one 😀. Also I hope that some most persistent DX9.0c bugs were fixed...

it was really more of an irritation with having to reininstall the security updates every stinkin time...
