What in the hell is ATI thinking? This is the first Catalyst driver that is
a "downgrade".
Didn't they test this crap before releasing it on us? How in the hell did it
pass WHQL??

What problems are you having with 3.8? How is adding new features and
fixing problems a downgrade?

I say: what in the hell are YOU thinking?
This release is not a downgrade.
I use it without any problems, it's stable, it has got new features.
Rethink it.

It stops Ghost Recon from working properly on my PC, so I didn't have
to think too long before going back to 3.7.

Easy way to find out if there is something inherently wrong with 3.8 and
Ghost Recon is to find somebody playing it with 3.8s

It was a downgrade for me. 3.7 is beautifully stable. I installed 3.8 and
Halo BSODs often in 1024x768. Go back to the 3.7 and now it's stable at
1024x768.

3.8 drivers are buggy from my experience.
