I think you need to address your system stability dude, no reported issues here and you seem to have problems with every single driver set
You might be right
and thats interesting hyperst, I'll investigate again thanks
It's an Acer 5740G.
Still working on the problem... i'm determined to get these drivers in somehow lol.

The installation of these is a bit iffy ...
What I had to do (windows 7) was start the installaiton and let the package extract, cancel the install, uninstalled and deleted current drivers using the device manager, updated driver from device manager by manually pointing to the unpacked files location ... done.
It did not install over the previous ones initially ...

Installed these drivers over the 10.2 and WOW what a difference these had made. Dirt 2 has increased by 14fps, and graphics have seemed to improved aswell. I've not tried Need for speed shift yet but i'm impressed by these set of drivers.
Dont seem to be able to do it, i click save and it asks if i want to replace , i click yes and tells me, access is denied
have you tried going into the files properties and making sure its not read only?

Hey BlackNinja, nice FPS for those settings
Im running at similiar res as you across 3 panels on a 5970. What 5970 you using, do you have it overclocked and with what, as the redline tool that came with the Sapphire 5970 OC doesnt work on W7 64? Must admit Im a little reluctant to jumnpt straight into these 10.3 betas after the disaster that was 10.1, went back to the 9.12's some weeks ago.
Cheers.
just checked and its not read only, oh well, i dont use it a lot anyway

Same card as you (Sapphire 5970 OC) with [email protected] ... I am running mine @ 950/1300. I use ATI Overvolt tool to set ram to 1.15v manually, then run MSI afterburner and activate a profile to set voltage to 1.237v and core to 950MHz and ram to 1300.

Wouldn't worry about it as all the version numbers other than that are correct.

Bezel management works fine ... from the setup exe I uninstalled CCC first .. then ran setup again to install this CCC as it's an earlier version .... pretty cool effect now.
Dirt 2 now running @ 6004x1080 with 57 avg, 48 min, Ultra with 2XMSAA. So far so good ... FC2, Stalkers(s) and Crysis work OK and will test more games later. Need to get some new ones now for DX11 goodness ..
All I need now is for Eyefinity to run with Tri-fire and I'll be happy ... adding the extra 5870 into the mix brings everything to a slide show!!
And, just for the record .. Tri-fire @ 1920x1080 Ultra settings, 8xMSAA went from 145 to 156 avg .... min now is 120fps up from 118.

RE Aero turning itself off in W7, sometimes this happens after you have installed new video drivers and the Windows Experience Index needs to be refreshed. For some reason windows decided to run this test in the background without asking, and Aero gets switched off while it runs.
Had a strange issue just, my windows aero turned itself off (no message or anything just screen flickered and transparency was gone) clocks were all over the place according to CCC and MSI afterburner, gpu1 was going up in temp and running at 850/1200mhz while in 2d and the second gpu was up and down like a yoyo, exited afterburner and everything returned to normal, clocks and transparecy was back.
thanks mate, it was that as that is when it last run
I am guessing you have 3 monitors of the same brand and model number?
I am running 2x Dell 2407 DVI and 1x Dell 2408 Displayport and I dont get the bezel management option.
If I disable the 2408 and put the 2x 2407's in eyefinity it appears and works fine.
Its a BUG!
