New profiles added to this release:There's nothing yet for hit game The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim in this release, unfortunately. CAP 2 can be downloaded here.
- Saints Row 3: Resolves stuttering seen when playing in CrossFireX mode. Also provides Single GPU and CrossFireX performance improvements when running in lower resolution configurations
- Gothic 4 Arcania: Fall of Setarrif: Improves CrossFire performance

BF3 is finally playable on MED (before that couldn't play even on lowest settings)
I def. recommend these drivers!
Edit: Sorry meant BF3 patch not new drivers... Not quite awake yet.
if anisotropic filtering on + two certain shader effects triggering (poison darts & dragon stone effects) = vga & total system freeze that isn't fixed by resets only power downs
As far as CrossFire and Skyrim, it works.. You just need to use RadeonPro. Even then preformance is better, but there are a couple obvious driver tweaks that are going to be needed for syncing the cards. I'm going to try out the new 11.11a drivers once I'm home.
I should also mention that I'm getting pretty bad performance with my GTX 460 and Skyrim. I'm waiting on a new Nvidia driver for that.
I find nothing frustrating about this. It's always been this way and it's a part of being a PC enthusiast. If I didn't want to work through the bugs, occasional driver issues and whatnot, I'd buy a console.
Even forewarned, I was still surprised at the bump in frame rate when I went to a single card from the Xfire. Hopefully, AMT/ATI will get their butts in gear, and get us a Xfire fix, and a profile soon...
