Problem with AMD Radeon drivers.

Put simply, some ATI drivers work better than others for CoH. There's a thread about which drivers are best for CoH compatibility here.
It looks like the 12.4 driver is currently the best (though I personally am still running 11.9).

I was running the 12.4s until last week. Now on the 12.6s with no issues. I'm getting the same GPU temps as before.

Next time it asks you to update your drivers, "Just say NO!"
I've been using 12.6 on my test box and it runs with no issues, the real game PC is still on 12.1
H: Blaster 50, Defender 50, Tank 50, Scrapper 50, Controller 50, PB 50, WS 50
V: Brute 50, Corruptor 50, MM 50, Dominator 50, Stalker 50, AW 50, AS 50
Top 4: Controller, Brute, Scrapper, Corruptor
Bottom 4: (Peacebringer) way below everything else, Mastermind, Dominator, Blaster

11.2 for me, nothing newer has worked right in both COH and another OpenGL program I use. And I have tested many newer drivers until it became a pain. I wish I could disable the red text telling me I am doing it wrong when I log in :/

Does using the -ignoreBadDriver command line option disable the red text?

I've been seeing that for over a year. It's not like it's on your screen while playing.

I've a AMD Radeon HD 6900. For a while now, every long, I've been greeted with a message to update my drivers, since mine are dated january twenty-sixth, 2011 (to my big surprise).
Well, long story short, I've replaced my drivers with the ones that the official site reccomended, the ones in the Catalyst software suite revision 12.6, dated 6/28/2012. Ever since, so much as turning CoH on to the login screen puts my GPU and core temps at 60c+ (according to SpeedFan), more than 10 degrees higher than what was stable with the old drivers.
I've reverted to the old drivers, but wanted to know if anybody knows more about the issue. I'll be the first to say I am very green at tweaking and drivers and monitoring.
