Hi guys,

i was playing BF4 on ultra smoothely with a not really updated driver, with the only issue that the game, before launching opened a pop-up telling i needed to update.
After i updated the game started going incredibly slow, i mean under 5 FPS, even with lower resolutions. Having played right before and after the update, i'd exclude any other reason.
As i can remember i passed from a catalyst 2 to a 14.4 (i'm not sure for the older version though);
if it can help my graphic card is a radeon HD7800

tyvm

I am not 100% sure if this is the entire process but it is, however, what I do.

1. Boot into safe-mode
2. Unninstall driver from device manager
3. Use a tool to check if there are any left over files/drivers
(I use drive sweeper http://phyxion.net/item/driver-sweeper.html)
4. Reinstall the new driver
