Try Leshcat drivers if you want stable updated drivers with best performance. The first installation is slightly complicated. All details and steps on their website. Just google Leshcat.

Anyways, so in continuation to my earlier problem mentioned on page 113...
My system has been serviced. The support guy originally intended to replace the heatsink and fan, but ended up damaging the mobo and had to replace that too. After this, well my product and serial numbers got changed so I called them back. They took a day to respond. In that time I monitors system temperatures and found them to be elevated (nearing 60c on high perf with no load). After about 5-6 hours of the repairs I got the same fan issue again. It simply wouldn't spin. There was no air flow just like before. I reinstalled Win 7 in the hopes of it being a software issue, but that didn't do anything. Moreover I didn't even have coolsense anymore. Support assistant did not recognize my serial and product numbers so coolsense was not installed. Today those HP people changed my s/n and p/n nos, and since then I've reinstalled support assistant, still no coolsense, system temps are still near 60c and the fan issue has become totally random. Now the fan randomly stops, my system temp sky rockets and the fan keeps malfunctioning till I let my system cool. After than the fan starts working.
I told all this to the service center and got halfcock unsure replies. All the service center guy was saying that I will update your case..... some parts may be faulty (despite the fact that I just a new heatsink, fan and mobo). All the HP people want to do is change the parts and get over with it. There is obviously a deeper issue here. How in the world do I get this issue solved? Any help would be much appreciated!!!!

Thanks to @rider and @marvelousprashanth, I have now installed Catalyst 12.10 drivers from Leshcat. The game performance has improved but I see blurry text in games. All the graphics settings in the game(GTA IV) are maxed out. May be some tweaking in the Catalyst Control Center would solve the problem?

blurry text could be due to playing at lower resolution? or AA set to low?

this issue is related to vsync and triplebuffering. i also faced them in crysis 1 and all the STALKER games. You need to download D3D OVERRIDER and add it to startup and select the exe files of the games in which you are having problems and force triple buffering and vsync for them. google d3doverrider.

can't we do it using Catalyst Control Center under Gaming>3D Application Settings, though i don't have any idea how to use it..

Uninstall it. Download and use the new version like I'm using 1.21, it works fine in windows 8.

for some games that wont work. even the in-game option for vsync in some games dont work. i have that experience with crysis and STLAKER. for them you have to force vsync and tripple buffering with D3DOverrider. google it. add to startup and it'll end all headache.

I installed the software but I found it doesn't installed properly as there no such thing as an app. FYI my laptop has broadcom wifi/bluetooth device.

Hey guys,
Help me out! Whenever I play games on my hp dv6 6165tx and the current goes, there is a drop in frame rates from like 60 to 20-ish. Now i've checked the power settings for the processor in the power plan (which I custom made) and set the minimum and maximum on battery life to be 100%, I've set my GPU to fixed on my bios so it is never on the intel gpu, I've changed the PowerPlay settings in my AMD control panel to maximum performance. What else is left? Even after putting everything on max performance I get a drop in frame rates when on battery. I just want my laptop to work as it is on the maximum performance possible even on battery because I have a generator at home and the current comes back on in like 30 seconds. What else do I need to change?
