you mean 100% on a single core ?Yes.

11.8 preview fixes the problems of hangs while mining and watching videos.
11.7 WHQL fixes it too, but both 11.7 and 11.8 now trigger max cpu usage in *any* opencl app.thats SDK problem, not the driver... try using OpenCL 2.4 and 11.7 or 11.8.
I've tried different SDK versions, and 11.6 never gave me 100% cpu usage. 11.7 however ALWAYS gave me 100% cpu usage.
It's a driver bug.

same, thats what i came from too, and its 100% still there.
11.7 no flash lockups ! finally...
had blue screen lockup too and ati tray tools lockups, had to unitstall it then reinstall it and recreate OC profiles in it.

Ah so hardware acceleration is fine on 11.7 and 11.8, but one thing i noticed on flash videos is... I drop from 425Mh/s to 350Mh/s -_-
All I need is youtube's player to scale correctly without HW accel., It does on videos that have 1080p, but 720p and under, in full screen, scale like garbage.
Maybe there is a thread already for this, or maybe I should make one about it lol

So potentially the 11.7 drivers can fix the 100% CPU usage bug on windows. Well they've done a 180 degree turnaround and now the 11.7 driver uses 100% cpu on linux when mining where previously it was perfectly fine. 
Perhaps it's awaiting the next SDK version (2.5) to work properly, but with SDK 2.4 the CPU usage is sky high. I don't see anywhere obvious to download this alleged sdk2.5 by itself yet.

I started getting the atikmdag.sys bluescreens as well, but it looks like it's related to something with MSI afterburner.
Any time I tweaked any of the clock speeds from the default clock it'd crash. Disable the Unofficial overclocking EULA flags in the config file might have done it as well.
Maybe it's a conflict between catalyst control center and MSI, but regardless, that seemed to help me.

Gosh the day they actually fix this - we should throw a friggin party! Its there on 11.6 was hoping 11.7/11.8 would be better - I guess sadly not!.
Well the CPU bug still exists with 11.8 preview, my CPU (2600k @ 4.7Ghz) is pegged at 14% usage when mining.
Curious, using 11.8 preview, does hardware acceleration on flash videos (youtube for example) freeze up while mining still, I don't want my card to freeze up just to test it lol.
Also I can't stand youtube's player without hardware acceleration, it scales horribly and makes it look very pixelated unless it's a 1080p video.
Seems like I get 1Mh/s more going from 11.7 preview to 11.8 preview lol

Hardware accelerated flash works fine with 11.7 for me. Not a single freeze.

What's the recommended prodedure for upgrading again? (I'm on 11.6).
Uninstall drivers through windows (or Linux, whatever)
Reboot into safe mode
Run driversweeper
Reboot
Install 11.7?
I'd like to just be lazy and install 11.7 over the top, but I don't suppose it's worth it
Interested to see how these drivers improve performance (or otherwise). Certainly a shame that the 100% cpu bug isn't fixed, but as someone above mentioned, it's good that it's a more widespread problem now. Hopefully in 11.8 hey.

Yay I can finally post in the real forums.
Anywho the driver caused my machine to BSOD for some reason... possibly because I didn't bring my clocks back to normal before updating to 11.7

11.7 WHQL fixes it too, but both 11.7 and 11.8 now trigger max cpu usage in *any* opencl app.This is actually a good thing. Maybe more people will jump on AMD to fix this other than 'just those crazies that are bitcoin mining'.

Go into safe mode, disable CCC in msconfig, use dummy plugs, be happy.
If that was the answer to your question: Congratulations!
If not: Sorry!
