amd 12.6 Beta CAP1 & AMD Catalyst 12.6 Beta Driver

I assume that two card was as good as 12.4 WHQL so i will skip testing that for now.

So, 3 x 7970 quick test in Tri-fire at 1440p all maxxed settings:

Batman - Broken, 30fps slideshow
Crysis 2 - Broken, 30fps slideshow
Heaven - Working, Excellent scaling
Battlefield 3 - Working, Excellent scaling
Skyrim - 3rd GPU Disabled.

3 GPU's is probably not worth the hassle.

2 is enough anyway. I would sell the 3rd and get the cash back.

Lo mate, can you try 3dmark 11 and Heaven in 3 card mode to see if they have totally wrecked this too, like it has done for me.

The gpu usage is a complete joke with this set, anything other than battlefield 3 simply does not work.
 
It seems this driver dont detect display upon system start up. When I go into CCC and you can click identify display and a BIG number one comes up on screen, If I click detect it auto fits the screen size for me.
Overscan 0% just isn't saving :(
 
Are these worth it for a single 6970 or is it crossfire only? Just some peole have said it has improved BF3 for them.
Thanks
Guy
its alright completely missed it was a cat 12.6 as well i thought it was just the cap for crossfire downloading now.

I'm going back to 12.4. Gaming performance is temperamental, I get random flickering and that overscan feature is missing, (I could have lived without it, but when gaming performance drops then it isn't worth it)

3DMARK - Broken, 30fps slideshow
Max Payne 3 - Working, Good scaling in 1080p DVI only. 3 cards in 1440p displayport mode results in weird FPS and utilisation - broken :(

No good for me. Sound clicks constantly through amp as soon as the install manager has installed the display driver. Reported it on that form.
