New Features
There's also loads of Resolved Issues that suggest some areas of performance and vertical sync might have been targeted. For example:

There's also loads of Resolved Issues that suggest some areas of performance and vertical sync might have been targeted. For example:
- Vertical sync tearing issues may be noticed with the following Catalyst Control Center settings “Wait for Vertical refresh” and “Off, unless application specifies”
- Some video clips may show stuttering and corruption during playback in mplayer
