Hi,

Just a small observation here. Maybe it will help someone...
After upgrading to catalyst 9.8, I started getting BSOD's during gaming ("IRQ_LESS_THAN_EQUAL").

After reverting the driver to 9.7 it's OK again.

I hope it won't happen with 9.9

My setup:
Windows 7 RC 64bit
XFX hd4890


Cheers,

I have been having this issue lately also, but I assumed it was due to an unstable overclock, but it seemed very random...I will have to look into the Cat 9.8 issue...

I've tried 9.9 and got the same BSOD.
Seriously... nobody else has this problem ?

Only the driver offered by windows update is stable for me (cat 9.7)
