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

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 :eek:

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

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

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?
