AMD Catalys 11.10 Version 3 Preview Driver

If your getting bf3 on release i'd have these and the cap3 installed until the officials are out.

Why would you do that? I'm pretty sure 11.9 cap3 is to give the official 11.9 driver the same xfire profiles as this preview driver already has. Unless the catalyst guy has said to, I would just use this preview driver on its own.
 
wish ati amd get it right with the drivers.thers that many versions out dont know where i am with em...

The official driver is 11.9 and you cant miss it when you go to AMD.

Drivers may work fine on their testing setups an on the official beta testers rigs but that does not mean it will be the same for everyone else and that why they make them available to the public to get feedback and try to fix issues.

"Cat 11.10 official release will happen Oct 31 - but Catalyst 11.10 V3 is pretty much the identical driver, so use with BF3 (plus new CAP)"

Yea because its really hard to understand the driver numbering, its not brain science. Bf3 is one of the biggest games of the year and amd are realeasing more drivers with upgrades to get more feedback so the 10.10 will be as good as it can be come release.

If your happy with your current driver then dont upgrade until you feel you need improvements. Amd could release 100 drivers this month but i would probably not change mine as for the games i am playing they are doing the business.

That goes against what he said before about not installing caps for previous drivers with the preview driver. He needs to be really specific with his tweets. How do we know he's not talking about new caps that they haven't released yet? That's how he caused confusion the other week.
 
Downgraded back to 2.

3 was causing pauses, light source flicker and levels would load with no textures at all, untill I restarted the game.

None of these issues with the preview 2 drivers.

Same for me, dreadful flickering at top of the screen for F3NV, BC2 Vietnam scrolling writing at the bottom of the screen was unreadable, Crysis 2 BM starts off ok then crashes with black screen reqiuring a soft off from the power button to get back into the desktop, Youtube bluescreening the PC.

Only installed it for the inbound BF3 as I had zero issues with the preview 2 drivers!

@JeffyB quoting is easier than copy and paste mate. :p

According to Andrew D@CatalystCreator: 'Cat 11.10 official release will happen Oct 31 - but Catalyst 11.10 V3 is pretty much the identical driver, so use with BF3 (plus new CAP)'.

I'm using both with no problems :)

Just noticed that the 11.9 caps are listed on the same page as the 11.10 preview so I'm sure you are right. Installed and ready for testing on Wednesday......er no sorry it's Friday isn't it :p. Keep getting my days mixed up. ;)
