Joy!

 

OMG yes, so getting these now. Can't wait to see what HD3D is like compared to the samsung 3d I been using.

Editted: Oh and I play battlefield 3. Been testing drivers to see whats best, marthands drivers are the bomb, however hopefully this driver fixes my AA errors.

Limited in what way? They are exactly the same as you get in the control panel?

My crossfire in Skyrim no longer yield 30-45 fps after switching between indoor outdoor cells.

Yay!
