AMD Catalyst 12.x (8.980.0 June 4) Unofficial BETA

[Final8y]

Ha, I was just about to send my second 7970 back...looks like I got some testing to do this weekend!

I can now vouch that two 7970s in crossfire KICK ALL SORTS OF ASS in eyefinity!!!!

I am running three samsung s27a750s @ 5760x1080 120hz with a sniper 3 mobo, 3770k ocd to 4.5ghz and crossfire is running like butter with these new drivers! So far I have tested BF3, Mafia II, & Crysis and its running as smooth as a single card

Take a look at my GPU usage in crysis with these drivers:

Now compare that to my GPU usage with crisis using the 12.6 drivers & cap1

HUUUUUGE DIFFERENCE HUH

And look at how saweet BF3 GPU usage now puuuurs with these drivers:

Eclypse you are a true multi-gpu Senator & Statesman. Thank you very, very much for this driver find. I was just about to send my second 7970 back until I saw your thread.

Hmm I thought I had these installed but in CCC mine says 8.98-120522a-139735E-ATI but when I dl'd them it said 12.6. Which are the better set out of these and my ones? I'm going to try these now anyway.

UPDATE: Scaling is definitely better in BF3 but unfortunately I'm getting bad flickering on BF3. Only tested Caspian Border in and around A and it's fairly bad. Anyone else experience this?

These drivers have better clock control then other 12.6, but the crossfire X scaling is VERY poor indeed.

Thanks, I won't bother installing.

Have installed this and while MSI Afterburner tells me this is driver version 9.14.10.0920 it then says 'Catalyst 12.1'. Is this right?!?! Also says 12.1 in Catalyst Control Center?!?!
