Default ATI?AMD HD Radion Drivers

It looks like the 10.11 driver version has improved things a bit!
Crysis has far fewer problems at the maximum settings
Cinibench Works properly, after having problems with various 10.xx
driver versions and the car chase.

?It looks like the 10.11 driver version has improved things a bit!

Nvidia posted a claim of performance cheating against these drivers, has
AMD responded yet?

"has AMD responded yet?"
I don't think so--
Yet, the Nvidia and AMD GPU's are quite different.
A test optimized for Nvidia won't be as fast on an AMD, just as the
reverse can be true as well.

My gripe about both was that for whatever reasons, the drivers have had
problems, and it's taken longer than I like to gen most of the bugs out.
Naturally, the problems have been mainly with games that stress the
cards. Both Mfrs have "crippled" performance under some stress
conditions, and Nvidia did so with a real vengeance against AMD.
(SLI vs AMD MBD chipsets -- Nvidia driver code deliberately prevents
SLI, and requires patches to get SLI working properly with AMD chipsets.)

It also looked like Microsoft's development software and documentation
might be part of the problem.
