Thanks for that, info added to first post.
So to round up, current issues with 13.5 Beta 2:
Instabilities in Civ V, F1 2012, Skyrim & possibly Tomb Raider.
Audio over HDMI via an AMP is partially broken but fixable.
Isn't this just what happens with a secondary monitor plugged in? Your idle clocks will change from something like 300/150 to 500/150 thus kicking out more heat/fan speed in the process.

Can you try something for me please Rusty? (btw you've been paid!!)
Rename TESV.exe to fallout3.exe and run it (with steam closed) and tell me if the same issues occur in crossfire.
iirc the above was a solid fix for broken CF in skyrim upon release as it forces the fallout profile that uses the same engine.
I had a little catch up yesterday and updated the op with know beta issues (as vk said amd are now watching this thread) so maybe they will be looked into in greater detail.
Anything else missing or anything anyone would like to see added?
I started an important links heading too, linking to some important AMD related threads.

What games is it stuttering in and are you using vsync? If so you could try using a frame limiter.
Physx will reinstall when ever you install a game that requires it, the executable is usually somewhere in the games folder if you want to manually install it. Some games like metro will refuse to run if Physx isn't detected on the system.

Much better
I'll fire up that map when I get chance, does cpu usage change when dropping mesh levels?
Right I've just tried oman, CF 7970's @ 1010/1375, usage spikes between ~70% and 99% as shown below:
It did noticeably sit around 80% on the rooftop, though if I aimed and fired the usage would spike back up.
Though CPU usage was pretty high peaking at 76% usage with the highest core being 86% as shown below:
My initial thinking is the CPU is struggling to kick out enough power in high demand situations, 76% on 8 threads of SB-E at 4.864ghz is surely around an equivalent to 5.5ghz+ from a 920.
My second thought is its a crossfire profile issue or a game engine limitation.

I have figured out why my load spikes....
The frostbite engine is frame limited to 200fps, you cannot go over this, on the roof top if just staring at, well, the floor will drop usage down towards 70-80% as the frame rate climbs to the 200fps wall, usage dropped to around 56% on each card while climbing the ladders as there isn't much to render. If you then run over to the edge, especially if you ADS, the usage rockets up to 99% as the frame rate falls to around 100fps.
For now I'm thinking CPU bottleneck, I'd be interested to know what memory is being used and what speed/timings it is at, as, if the memory is only sitting around 1000mhz (not unknown on X58) it could be hurting the CPU OC's performance.
Dare I say we may have found something that has finally defeated a nehalem, though it did require two very powerful GPU's and a game that actually has multi-threaded support.
@chief barker, try find a balance of settings vs frame rates, drop to 2xMSAA with SSAO (HBAO is killer) and bloom disabled and see how you get on
