I have grievous problems with the card. Apparently the drivers are to blame
and the issues are to be resolved in Catalyst 5.11

E.g. Aquamark crashes after the conducted test.

Omega does not function properly as well, says "cannot read bios version".

Aquamark is just a benchmark. Any real *games* impacted by your current
driver?

I get bad benchmark scores for my set up. I've had to learn to not
worry about it. The less time running benchmarks, the more time for
running games.
