• opraven AF bug v některých hrách
• opraven texture bug v Borderlands
• PowerPlay u HD 5970 funguje korektně
• nárůsty výkonu i ve hrách které nejsou uvedeny v release notes (Crysis, NFS: Shift atd.)

/EDIT: tak mám zatím s novejch ovladačů "divný" pocit, na mé X3870 ve hře F.E.A.R.2 pociťuji pokles o 1-2 FPS a dokonce se hra jednou totálně zasekla, testnu ještě CoD6: MW2 + 3DMARKy. No uvidíme..
