My main issue was that Gaming Evolved was 3'd party vs by-AMD. AMD did not have full control.

When it started breaking some games (so I have read), I was incredulous that AMD would make it a part of the AMD driver package. I expect my AMD drivers to only do "good things" that hold up the AMD brand name.

However, "AMD Gaming Evolved APP By Raptr" was "automatically" installed unless I opted out -- which I did because I felt it was "just one more thing to go wrong".

As previously mentioned, I have very few driver or graphics problems because I keep the AMD driver game-settings "vanilla". I only use in-game graphics settings to change in-game graphics (virtually always to "Ultra" or equivalent). I do this because games are virtually always debugged for vanilla driver settings but cannot always handle un-tested combinations of "optional" driver settings (or so I have read).

AMD does say one can still get the App and use it. Just they won't support it.
