Hi all,
I also encountered this problem after installing a new HD7790. I am running win 7 64-bit. Even with mouse cursor shadows enabled, the text select cursor was huge, which was pretty annoying. Also, the cursor in DotA 2 (a game) was enormous and pixelated. I worked around these issues by using a custom text select cursor - this brought the text select cursor to normal size, and it looks pretty similar to the old one. I picked one in the default cursor directory that pops up when you choose a different cursor. I'm pretty sure the default text select cursor doesnt have a shadow, which is why it is huge. Pick a custom text select cursor with a shadow.
For DotA 2, I replaced the .ani cursor files in the DotA 2 game directory with smaller images for a 800x600 display (I am running 1080p) from here: http://dev.dota2.com/showthread.php?t=32845 . They are still pretty pixelated in game but thankfully much smaller, so I don't really care. These ani files do not have shadows which is probably why they are huge and pixelated.
There is a specific HD7790 driver, has anyone tried it? http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/RadeonHD7790CatalystPerformanceDriver.aspx I'm currently running the generic HD7xxx driver. I'll probably try the HD7790 performance driver soon to see if it fixes the cursor issue and increases FPS (i'll run some benchmarks on both drivers).
Edit: I will not be installing the HD7790 driver. I benchmarked the HD7xxx driver and get 2970 G3D marks. This is close enough to the average of 3012 for the HD7790 that I am satisfied and won't spend any time installing and benchmarking a different driver. Maybe if I get cursor issues in another game I will install the HD7790 driver though.
