I have a Radeon HD 6900 and am running Windows 7 64 bit. The latest driver Catalyst 15.7 (which contains display driver 15.20.1046) changed my resolution to something less than the native 1920 x 1080 of my monitor AND sized it so it didn't fit on the screen. It reported my resolution as 1920 x 1080 which it clearly was not. I tried switching to other resolutions and back, rebooting, unplugging and replugging the monitor so it could redetect it - no good. I finally did a rollback and everything is fine now.
You might not experience the same problem but just to let everyone know.
It's your fault for that problem because on the AMD site there's a message that clearly says 15.7 driver is provided "as is" (meaning it's beta) and it won't have any support for it until Windows 10's official release on 29th of July 2015. Which is why I didn't download it.
I didn't go to their website and get it. The current version did a pop-up saying there was a new version available and asking me if I wanted to update. No mention that it might not be stable. I immediately got the same message again after I rolled back to the previous version.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
