People having driver issues

Excellent performance/price ratio. Performs as advertised and beyond in a full AMD system (motherboard, CPU, GPU) utilizing the AMD Experience software. I purchased this card at retail because I didn't want to wait on shipping.

None.

If you're having issues with drivers:

A) Make sure you're uninstalling your old drivers first (you wouldn't believe the amount of people NOT doing this part) *and rebooting the system* before installing the new ones.

B) Make sure you're installing them as an Administrator account. If you try to do this without being Admin, it *will not* install all of the files it needs in the proper places, and *will not tell you so* during or after driver setup. You'll just get random BSODs and other crashes.

C) Open Windows Task Manager (or Process Explorer) and make sure that all of the AMD services are indeed installed and running correctly under the Services tab. For those more technically inclined, go into services.msc and double-check they are set to Automatic Start and are actually running, and that the dependencies are all present.

Personally, I tend to install/uninstall drivers in Windows Safe Mode w/Networking. This tends to allow unhitched installations due to minimal interference by OS processes or other software, while still allowing you to look up help, etc online.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Works beautifully until it doesn't

Worked great could run skyrim on all but the highest rating with no lag.
No issue installing great set of ports.

It broke after 6 months and smells like smoke when it did. It smelled very burnt and I am glad I opened my computer to check when I did as nothing else was damaged.

Waiting for the RMA process see how the 2 year limited warranty holds up. Will post their reply when I get it.
