    Thx for the fix, but our GX60 are useless because of terrible CPU from AMD (A-10). I've installed it, but games lag as they lagged before, Saints Row 3 for instance - 15 FPS (sic!).

    The driver can't give better performance, because CPU is holding the GPU back as always.

    Anyway thx for the driver again, I'm sure that people who have an actual CPU from Intel instead of garbage from AMD will see an improvement.

    Both, DX9 and DX11 modes in SR3 are unplayable...

    On auto-detected settings (ULTRA) I get 15 fps...
    Lowering details to LOW (on 7970m sic!) gives 25 fps...

    I tried both modes, and both give me terrible FPS = ~15-20 FPS.
