I managed to make the drivers on the CD install by editing the INF. There are a couple places where you see
NTamd64.6.1
This indicates that the driver is for Win7 (6.1) If you change it to 6.0, you fool it into thinking that the driver is for Vista. MS has a thing on INF file format (google that, and it pops right up) that's actually helpful. It breaks driver signing, so you'll have to allow that when it asks, and the driver must be installed through the device manager- it won't install with the setup program or with the .msi package. At this point, my monitor is still detected as a generic PnP, and the black bars remain. Plus only one fan turns on, and GPUTweak only seems aware of the one. Maybe the other one is bad, and I need to RMA. Another note- the INF for 13.9 and 13.11beta does not have an entry for any of the R7/R9 cards. Not sure if they will work at all.
