Guys,
 were you able to install Catalyst driver on HP Envy? For me everything is
working fine except graphics. I mean it's working, but it's very hot and
using so much power since it's running at max all the time. I believe
Catalyst should utilize all this power saving things. If someone can assist
me with that would appreciate that. I spend whole weekend trying to make
this thing work, but no luck :-(

---
Yours truly, Alex
