Played BF3 a couple of times now since installing these betas and it is noticeably smoother for me.

Same it's as if the driver has increased minimum fps by 15 :0. On my 7950 it could drop down to minimum 44 fps on ultra and now it never dips bellow 58 XD. But in general it very very rarly hits bellow 60 lol

Ya sometimes I ran my 7950 @ 1100 core for BF3 but I'm just running at 1000 core atm and it is still tasty.
 
anyone had much luck with overclocking the asus 7970 directcu ii with these yet? I've got to 1150/1650 at the minute but i am scared to try and get any higher. I think i can push memory beyond 1700 but happy at the minute with the current overclock.
 
Glad you got it sorted, is that just the BETA-3 Drivers bOrcked then?

I'm running those, wont take much to uninstall clean out and install BETA-4.

Fixed it, if anyone else has the issue even with the driver removed you need to manually remove the following file(s) from C:\Windows\System32\Drivers

atikmpag.sys
atikmdag.sys

One of them is the main display driver, although I'm not sure which one. When your GPU overclock is too high games can freeze, black screen and then back to desktop with a message saying "Display driver stopped responding" and then points to one of those files. Weird.

I think I'm one of very few who has had no problems with the 12.11 driver at all.

Makes me chuckle that every time a new driver was released, you would get the comments "BF3 feels so much smoother with this new driver". You can clearly see from that chart it wasn't any smoother untill these 12.11s

It did feel smoother though greg, the gains may not have been massive but with each driver it got a little bit better.
