Hey, brand new to Toms but use it often and read it frequently. As of late, just yesterday I got my Sapphire Radeon HD7950 card and installed it and ran the drivers it came with. It wasn't amazing playing Far Cry 3 and could barely pull ahead of my MSI OC Radeon HD7790. So I figured a driver update would help and maybe some other tweaks via Far Cry PostFX disabling. Last night I downloaded and installed AMD Catalyst 13.9 which just released yesterday. I wanted to see what the differences were after the update and within 5 seconds of getting started in the game itself, it just froze up. So, I restarted and again, it froze, almost immediately getting into the game. So I tried DMC, I played it for about 4 minutes before it also froze on me, getting black screened. Before I could use task manager to close out the game and the final time playing anything I had zero control and had to hard restart. I know AMD is known for its driver issues and was wanting to know if I needed to completely rid my system of the original drivers before installing 13.9. Before the driver update the games played just fine with just better FPS and ran like junk with AA and V-Sync, which is why I wanted the newer drivers. Any push in the right direction or similar issues with 13.9 would be great!
