AMD is keeping at their word. They have made great progress, with more to come, and have changed their testing policies to now be sure this doesn't happen as new games are released.

SO my awesome 7950 with 12.11 drivers making it better, is now... MORE BETTER BETTER ? sweet!
Was it only the 7950 having issues? or was this across ALL 7xxx cards?
there were never any issues, it just increased performance, and now theyre going to make it even smoother fixing fram latency issues due to moving to a new architecture but not overhauling the drivers.
"some performance problems" thats seemed like "issues" to me. :/
but anyways, you didn't directly answer my 2nd question...
