it's too early for the ~2 week whql to call it .10
Not that I'm complaining about timely driver fixes.
The frame pacing bug must have bit ya having a new driver so fast!!!
Installing NOW whoot! :rockout:
OT, sorry.
this works very well even without the crossfire, i'm quite glad the mobility drivers are getting updated.
Sure there are certain things to get fixed, but frankly, CS:S is still the same rubbish as it was on day one. Same for CS:GO. Even after countless updates that should improve things.
The thing is, NS2 is a VERY complex game and people who like CounterStriek and similar games just won't pick it up because it's too complicated for them. So many upgrades, so many classes, so many tricks and tactics, unique interaction between players and commander, blend of FPS and RTS, base building etc. I'm playing it for almost 12 hours a day for the last 2 weeks and i'm barely getting the hang of it. But when you do, it's so rewarding and really awesome feeling.
Anyway, yeah a bit OT, but i hope it will improve things a bit. The graphics are spectacular otherwise, it's just that framerate is sometimes a bit choppy.
No other driver has done that before. But looks and runs very well clocked down a tad.

No slowdown/lag with particle effects after monitor has auto turned off with my single card setup.
Well done AMD well done.
