So as stated on our website, Windows 7 users with DirectX 9 AMD graphics hardware can use the legacy Windows Vista WDDM 1.0 drivers (as it is not possible for DirectX 9 hardware to support the WDDM 1.1 driver requirements). To meet the Microsoft dictated requirements, GPU’s must be DirectX10 and later level hardware. WDDM1.1 (Windows Display Driver Model) is the driver architecture required to run Windows7. Here is Terry's (Catalystmaker) response (posted by HardOCP): I think the big 'uproar' about this is people dont understand that WDDM 1.0 drivers work just as well on 7 as they do with Vista.
