can anyone confirm if crossfire works with these drivers as im adding a second 4870 soon as with the betas they were reports that crossfire didnt work?
 
Maybe not the same as the BETA RC3's.

BETA RC3's = 8.561-081201a-072643E-ATi

Officials = 8.561-081201a-072276C-ATi

Don't know if that would make a diff though. :p
 
Edited as put Crysis Warhead when I meant Far Cry 2

FAR CRY 2 retest from 8.11 to 8.12

1920 * 1200 4*AA and Ultra High, Ranch Demo

DX9
8.11 Average 54.82
8.12 Average 56.39

DX10
8.11 Average 20.79
8.12 Average 61.37

So thats a very strange result 300% increase in DX10 performance!!!!!!!!!!!!
and about 2% increase in DX9.


Doesn't seem to be a difference in the settings for those two dx10 runs, but those score differences are bizarre.

EDIT

Just compared another run on Far Cry 2 against my score on the performance leader board with same settings 1680*1050 DX10 Ultra high no AA.

8.11 Average was 56.93
8.12 Average is 68.66

So the DX10 performance for at least warhead with 8.12 has taken a massive jump forwards. Also AA doesn't have a big hit on performance

You mean farcry 2? Ye I had a bug in farcry 2 when I had my 4870, just gave a real low fps in DX10 benchmark but in game it was OK, looks like they have corrected it now.
