how does that that have anything to do with this _beta_ driver? are you expecting amd to test all product configurations for a beta release?

at least amd beta releases never break cards like nvidias whql sometimes do

Just for fun, i found that last picture funny as the OCZ drive actually outlasted the system.

As a proud owner of an amd tri fire 290x system I can tell you what it fixed. The internet.

The memory leak made the internet slow then regardless of browser if you opened 20 + websites the internet search program would crash. Movies, and flash adds exacerbated the issue. It acted similar to when your internet search is virused.

I know this is the issue as when I fixed the driver all went back to awesome. Also this happened previously on some other drivers that were promptly fixed as well. I found this memory leak issue was the problem. In games it is a non issue as each frame is independent. But videos it is a big deal as it needs to buffer both forward and backward and when the ram is full it would grind to a halt.
