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 :-(
