amd 12.6 Beta CAP1 & AMD Catalyst 12.6 Beta Driver

Since buying a 7970 I've had the following issues:
Flickering textures in Tera.
Bad periodic stutter in Skyrim.
Sleep causing corruption/hangs upon exit.
Tera and Skyrim are the only games I'm playing atm and both have gamebreaking issues, it's three weeks and counting so far in terms of getting at least one of the problems fixed.
My experience up until now has been so bad that I've put the GTX580 back in and waiting on driver fixes, it's a shame because my Heaven/3DMark score was through the roof with the 7970.

you know how i said these were great earlier? hmm well I kept getting bluescreens running firefox and the fans went 100% on the 7970 so I've gone back to 12.4 and alls well.
By the way above I'm playing skyrim and tera all maxed out on a 7970 and have no corruption in either game on 12.4 or 12.6. Maybe something else is wrong?

No one else got the white/cream screen freezes?
-15% in heaven etc etc
No real issues here for me as usual with ati drivers 6950 crossfire.
When i first installed the 12.6 after a reboot i had a bsod. I found that afterburner caused it because it was set to auto apply overclocks upon boot. This is fine normally but after a fresh install and restart it can mess with the driver settings before crossfire gets initialized causing the bsod.
I have to say these are the smoothest drivers for battlefield 3. 12.4 were smooth, but if its possible these and 12.6 caps are smoother. 1080p 4xaa ultra never drops below 55fps with vsync on, GG.

+1, which is the whole point of these beta drivers
Enough people complained about nvidia stuttering via a proper medium (Issue Reporting Form) and nvidia actually came out and said they will try to address it, so maybe same needs to be done for AMD

This are good for BF3. Best drivers AMD have released for a while.
Shame they are so few and far between.
