    That explains quite a bit then, thanks for confirming - I thought maybe I had just found a unique "me only" bug. Makes sense now :)

    Getting the good old mouse cursor corruption issue with these, as well as 11.7 WHQL. It happens very often while playing Age of Empires Online, and it doesn't go away until I reboot.

    EDIT: It seems to only happen when I have 3 monitors enabled. When I disabled the third, it went away.

    Hmm I have the problem when I use the tesselation slider in ccc for crysis 2 I get pretty awkward graphical corruption on walls no matter what setting, even on 64x. Any fixes?

    You got more FPS on Bad Company 2 with 11.8 pre that with 11.8?

    Awful driver for Rift, coming from 11.6. I'm gonna try 11.7 now to see if they're as good as 11.6 in Rift.

    strange is my MSI afterburner with this driver

    when windows starts, it applies my last overclock, but without the voltage value

    so, the screen becomes grey after 5 minutes :bang:

    Per Catalyst Twitter: http://twitter.com/#!/CatalystCreator
    "We'll have a new CAP for Deus-Ex next week (used in combination with Catalyst 11.8) - which will give great scaling with CrossFireX"

    Does it sound like 11.8 will release next as well? :3eyes:

    That's what I thought as well when I saw it

    I had hoped for it to take longer, probably won't be much different from the preview driver...And I wanted them to take their time to make wonders for the upcoming BF3 beta

    I would like a concrete confirmation about Bad Company 2 performance on HD 68xx.

    Thanks.

    Then install and play... No one else has your rig or system or your exact setup. Depending on someone else's experience with a different rig with different settings is pretty dumb IMO.

    I'm not going to install this bombs without certainty that I will get some FPS.

    these 11.8 babies are so sick...my vantage gpu score is near GTX580 regions and I used a not flashed hd6950:

    gpu score: 23919

    I've had some geforces in the past and I think the main difference is that Radeons run all day long at high oc settings and geforces refuse to let you raise the clocks when serious gaming. their drivers have better stability as long as they are used by my grandma :sleep2:

    Then stop asking us if it improves performance, why should we stick our necks out for you?

    It's hardly to stick necks out when they already have tried it, or? This is the main thread about 11.8 preview anyway, it's not as if he's asking somewhere unexpected

    That's not the problem I have with him

    The problem I have with him is that he's asked many, many times. In that time he could have installed them, checked, and uninstalled them if they were not up to his expectations

    Sorry I get pissed off at lazy people, guess its a fault of mine

    Actually, you're just being normal.

    I can't see the 11.8's being released next week, thats way to early, probably be around the time Deus Ex HR hits, end of the month.

    You know, when I tell my customers to try newer drivers to see if it improves performance, they will go and do it

    They don't turn around at me and go "No, you first"

    In as many times he has asked, he could have installed them and tried, 30 minutes tops to uninstall, sweep, install new drivers, reboot, try new drivers, uninstall new drivers if he didn't like them, sweep, install old drivers, reboot

    Quick, painless, he's been asking for days what he could have found out in as little as 15 minutes

    So yes, he is lazy, and yes, that pisses me off

    Then stop asking. You must have one of the worst systems out there where installing a driver can be harmful. Sucks for you either you're a moron or your system is so bugged and unstable drivers are bombs for it.

    ROFLMAO.

    These + 11.7 CAP 1 have been working great to me so far on my HD6970 CF.

    The games I usually play: BFBC2; Black Ops; The Witcher 2; STCC 2; Dirt 3; rFactor; Fifa 11.

    No issues with them at all.
