Tried this on the 4890 earlier, along with a comparison in 1.7.0.....

1.7.0 @1920X1080, 900/975 (stock)



1.8.0 at identical settings



Frame count has dropped dramatically, and it was stuttering when it was benching.

Either it needs sorting, or it doesn't like my card........

When the 5850 turns up tomorrow, I'll give it another go.
