Starting with the AMD Radeon™ HD 7000 Series, AMD Radeon™ graphics hardware is built to support two key technologies: the DirectX® 11.1 API and a new way of designing GPU drivers called “Windows Display Driver Model 1.2” (WDDM 1.2).1 Together, these technologies enable a range of new features for Windows® 8 and supporting software.
Package contains the following graphics drivers and dependent/required software for the products specified in the current version's official release notes for the 64 bit version of Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8:

Did you use the drivers from AMD's website or the ones that came on the CD with your card? what ever your answer is you might try doing the opposite ... or let windows look and install its own drivers for the card. AMD's website also has an auto detect feature that detects what you have in your system and picks a driver.
