    What do you mean? This is quite normal with new cards. You always used to have to use the drivers that came on the CD for a few months if the card was new.

    Yeah i don't see the problem, nothing new really. Have these cards had any issues with unstable drivers so far?

    Not unstable AFAIK, but performance lower than expected in some games.

    Re: Reviews - AMD Radeon HD 7950 graphics processor

    Personally i'm waiting to see the price/performance difference with the 1.5GB model. I'm hoping it's more than £25 though, as at that difference it's not worth getting the lower specced card. But at the moment I game on either a 37" 1080p TV or a 24" 1920x1200 monitor, and neither are likely to change any time in the life of this card. I simply don't believe I need 3GB graphics RAM yet. 1.5-2GB sure. But at the mo i'm playing on a 512MB card and while I can't ramp stuff like BF3 or Skyrim up to Ultra it deals with High well enough for texture details. I'd much rather get a card with less RAM but a higher core clock or similar.
