Using 8.10 here and works fine.

Improovements:

1) Less Clock and voltage while in Idle mode, bringing better durability an lower idle temps.

2) Higher voltage and default 3D VGPU Clock while in FULL load mode (680/1000Mhz).

3) Higher overclock limit in default ATi CCC driver (800Mhz GPU highest setting) and also better overclock ability cause of the higher default 3D voltage.

4) Adjusted Default cooler fan speed adequately, to keep it cool and quiet.
