    Drivers are available for Windows 8, if you'r afraid create a restore point before installation.
    Then you'll be fixed. ;)

    It will be a fresh install on a brand new machine (plus that card). I will just take the plunge, if all fails I will put 7 on it. Was just getting a heads up so I don't waste my time installing 8 to find out there are issues.

    Thanks for the replies people.

    I haven't installed the whole Cadalyst package, just let windows 8 install whatever driver and it runs fine.
    I got a Gigabyte AMD Radeon HD 6670.

    HD 7700 fine with 12.10 AMD Catalyst, but I have to install it twice to get CCC working.

    I had problems with the Radeon HD 6470 and 7400 MS version of the drivers.. they worked fine out of the box with windows and office 2010, but when i installed photoshop CS6, it complained there was a problem with the drivers. So i downloaded the W7 drivers from HP and it fixed the problem with photoshop. This is on W8 x64, and HP elitebook laptops.

    No issues with a pair of 6990's in crossfire either ;) HOWEVER,you might want to avoid the Catalyst chipset drivers,because they nuked 3 of my systems
