More importantly, AMD has finally released code for power management on open source linux drivers.
 
It's also a combo driver, aka 32/64bit in one file. 231 MB that is.
 
Aggressive V-sync interrupt optimization

crossfire fix, for runt frames. Ie should fix the shuddering issues people experience when using crossfire setups.
 
Great drivers with Win 8.1 Did not experience any stuttering for the first time with CFX 7950s. Very smooth gameplay. Granted it's only with one game - GRID2, but at ultra levels, 4xMSAA, and 1440p.
