In my case, my PC in the living room is only an old intel 6300 at 2 GHz ish. This does play large HD and blue ray files but it jerks now and then. The system also has my old 4890 in it and the plan was to use this to play the HD files...until I found out ATI drivers dont work with VLC.

I could just install win 7, but Im lazy :P

"Crossfire may not perform as expected when playing Earthsim, Bad Company 2 and Metro 2003 under DirectX 11 mode".

WTF! how can BFBC2 not perform as expected?
 
The only issues I've had with BC2 is the random black flickering screen that lasts a few seconds.

Highly frustrating when it happens though as normally dead when it stops!

Not sure if this is an Radeon issue though as sure I've seen people with Nvidia cards mention the same.

Is that only in crossfire?

On these 11.7 drivers?

For me it does, I just disable bloom.
 
Installed 11.7 and no change in performance in BC2 (Phew).

I suspect I have hit the limits of my cards (5970 + 5870) and have a cpu bottleneck (i7 @ 4 GHZ) gaming at 1080p.

i can get 900 core on all three and there is no change in frames within BF so probably a cpu bottleneck.

Unistalled it after a little look.

Offers nothing beneficial over just the display drivers, except introduces the possiblity to negatively impact performance through missettings.

The last time I tried the auto tune feature on my 3870x2 back in 2009, it screwed it up to the point that I lost my 60hz refresh rate. The max the card would go too even after a restore to default, was 59hz.....

Would rather not screw with my 5870.
