No fix for flashing in Battlefield Bad Company 2 Beta. :cry:
Oh well.
So where do we download the new gaming profile .exe's? Are they included in the driver?
I hope they fixed the issue where my 5970 does not go to sleep (screen goes black but monitor does not go to standby).
+1 fps in GPU test 2
9.10 vs 10.2

Anyone else with this problem, i tried jumping from 9-11 to 10-2, also tried cleaning everything and then installing just the 10-2, same problem.
Win 7 and HD 5870
Thanks
It might be because i have Eyefinity or because i have a 4870 in my second PCI e to feed a 4th monitor, these drivers might not be prepared for that.
10.1 seem to work fine though.
pissed off about that crossfire application thing, i thought it was meant to be user customizable?
What’s this suppose to do, increase performance in CrossfireX setups? If so, good for ATI/AMD. Finally they are doing something right(er) :D
Install this, and you get next months crossfire profiles, this month.
Not that I'm saying that happens here I just find that the more widgets you give to someone to play with, sooner or later, they'll wind up in a bigger mess than is possible to repair. My only real concern is the speed of the profile updates and not supporting some games for whatever reason.
