Release notes there as well now.

Performance Improvements

Catalyst™ 9.6 brings performance benefits in several cases where framerates are CPU-
limited. Some measured examples are:

z Company of Heroes – performance improves up to 25% with HD 4600 series
products and below as well as improvements of up to 10% on HD 4800 series
z Crysis – performance improves up to 13% in multi-GPU configurations
z Crysis Warhead – performance improves up to 11% in multi-GPU configurations
z World in Conflict – performance improvements of up to 30% can be seen in settings
that were previously CPU limited

Lots of fixes, but lots of known issues as well.
 
Okay well these are even worse than the last set, and that's saying something in my case!

Instead of a graphics crash and restart every minute or so, the framerate now drops to 3FPS each time there would have been a crash. It needs a game restart to fix the FPS.

Useless.
 
I've tried everything at stock, a fair bit slower, but still get the errors. I really did just hit a dead end as to how to fix it.
 
Yeah all the memory has been tested and passed, really every test I've been recommended has passed. I think I may have seriously annoyed ATI in a past life.
 
I updated the BIOS from the default one the board came to, to what was the current at the time. Haven't checked to see if there's a new one since then, but I've spoken to others using this motherboard/graphics card mix with successful results.
