I'm hoping for one for it as well. When playing games it crashes every time basically when you start up the game. Getting very frustrating.

Are you using the 5800 series? I have heard there is a problem with the 5700 series as well - BUT this hotfix does not solve it for that model - you will need to rollback the drivers to the 9.12's to solve the issue.

Default It doesn't work
Running 10.2 drivers on an XFX XXX 5870. Grey screens regularly in games. L4D2 is unplayable.

For me it's perfect. Games runs smooth like silk, PowerPlay is working flawless and no more GSOD's (games or idle).
Keepers.

Sapphire HD5770 Vapor-X. 10.3beta does not fix problems for me. GSOD in 2d and 3d. Only answer from Sapphire Support (March, 1st): "Problem is known, ATI will fix it. It's no hardware issue."
