Wait.... isn't this the same info bundled with the original 12.11 BETA?

Yes, beta 7 is a minor update for crossfire in Black Ops 2, almost all of the info posted above and on the AMD site is from the previous 7.11 drivers.

Thanks, you just fixed my heart palpitations :o
 
What is the difference between "Latest Beta Driver" and "Latest Beta Driver with .NET 4.0 Support"? I already have the .NET 4.0 framework installed.
 
So this is not worth downloading if i'm running the last 12.11 beta as i don't play BLOPS 2?


BLOPS 2? lol, is that some Acer Laptop preinstalled game or an acronym for some thing?

Anyway, it might be a good idea to get this or BETA 6 if you already haven't as it has some bug fixes.
 
Its also on Win 7 :)

Indeed, even Windows XP SP3 is supported.

I grabbed the ones without .NET support, don't notice any difference between these and the ones with .NET support.

3DMark11 score is basically unchanged from beta 6. The idle memory clock issue is still not fixed yet for me either.

EDIT: It seems that monitor suspend now works properly again with these drivers.
