AMD's Support Ticket - 7970M + Enduro

[MeNtAl_DaRkNeSs]

Hi ppl,
After some thought I decided to open a ticket at AMD Customer Care Email Submission Form

I think Enduro still has a lot to grow so I decided to make some suggestions to them, "perhaps" they can consider some of them or give them ideas to new ones (or perhaps no one is gonna read the damn ticket lol ).

Hi,
I have the HD 7970M running with the latest AMD Catalyst™ 12.7 Beta Driver (also tried the stable ones from clevo and the 12.6 WHQL), but unfortunately the graphic switching still causes many issues with some games, for example:

Dirt 3, Dirt Showdown, Battlefield 3, and many more...

I understand that the technology is still new but the hardware you made is amazing so please consider on adding the following suggestions:

1-Add a global option to the OS solely take advantage of the integrated or dedicated graphics unit, for example on Battery global option could be the integrated GPU but when plugged in, it could be dedicated GPU (on my case HD 7970M) or Automatic which is managed the list of decisions made by the user (see the 2nd suggestion). If you choose the dedicated graphics card as standard, all games would be directly related to the AMD GPU start, this could save the standard user lots of issues and questions.

2-List of all the applications where the decisions between "Power Saver" or "High Performance" were made, not only the most recent applications... it's confusing and time consuming.

3-Allow the user, when launching an application, to easily right-click and choose the desired graphic card or a similar feature. This will reduce frustration, be less time consuming and much better than the popup that appears.

4-Improve the GPU % usage on more demanding games, like Dirt 3 and Battlefield 3.

I'm not asking to deliver all this suggestions at once, because it takes time to develop a good software but right now lots of consumers are running away from ATI because of lack of "software support".

Thank you,
Best Regards to all

I did this because if we all don't criticize and help them with suggestions they will keep the CCC and the drivers, like they are right now (which SUCKS).

Well at least I tried, If any of you guy have some ideas/suggestion please do the same as I did.

Thank you,
Best Regards to all

Exactly my point if more ppl participate by creating more tickets and make suggestions perhaps they notice what the user really needs/wants.

I think we should all send in a ticket. I will do one today when I get home from work.
