This is unrelated to DCS but this driver is causing me problems while watching youtube videos with HTML5 and Firefox. Video runs fine for a few seconds, then it starts to lag and ultimately the catalyst driver crashes and resets. 15.8 beta was working fine.

sounds to me like this beta will be a no go for me.

 

wait for the youtube issues to be resolved as I already have some weird goings with videos as is on my current version (15.4 Beta)

I have now gotten some sleep, and my PC got some rest too but the problem is still there with 100% consistency. I'm going back to 15.8 beta which was working flawlessly for me. Maybe you should try it too? It has some nice performance improvements over 15.4 beta.
