Just noticed these on the interwebs!

Newest 2d and 3d drivers by a country mile to every previous catalyst driver and they appear to be the first build of the catalyst 10.5 drivers (yes, 10.5, not 10.4)

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WH2U3WZG

Download is 380mb as its all version in a .rar file

Early reports say they solve the xfire flicker in BFBC2

To compare driver version with the opengl 4.0 (29th march beta)

Opengl is NEWER on the 4.0 drivers - 6.14.10.9392 (new) vs 6.14.10.9826

but

2D and 3D are newer on these by a large gap (15 builds or so lol)

8.14.10.0735 (ogl 4) vs 8.14.10.0750 (new) for 3D
8.01.01.1010 (ogl 4) vs 8.01.01.1024 (new) for 2D

Enjoy

As far as I'm aware the flicker has been fixed in 10.3b, also why is it a whopping 380mb?? Hmmmmm

Because its all the windows versions combined instead of multiple links. The flicker issue was only corrected for single card users in 10.3b and even then, didn't work 100% of the time. We'll have to give these a good testing to see if they are better or worse.
 
For people with clocking issues fully uninstall the drivers and when its finished, reinstall them, then reboot your machine and see if that fixes it. It appears when overwriting previous versions of the drivers, problems start appearing.

Not a 100% fix though, just a potential one.

The rolling flickery lines are still present in BFBC2 for me, aarrgghh

I installed the application profiles that were with them aswell, will grab the latest and test again.

Did you uninstall your previous set using the catalyst install manager or overwrite your older drivers?

They aren't a release per say, its a good old fashioned leak mate lol. These are very early beta drivers from a catalyst version nearly 2 months away. As with all betas, you need to try them for yourself to say if they are actually rubbish or not as everyone gets different performance and stability with every driver set known to man lol
 
Btw, there appears to be a built in video converter built into the CCC with these which allows you turn covert video files into more managable versions or something lol. You can also enable your graphics card to join in the processing of the conversion, making it VERY fast.

Interesting stuff!
 
enter the CCC and where you can choose overdrive, 3D etc on the drop down menu, theres an option above overdrive for it called "video converter"
