You guys should be glad that it takes less than 3 months for AMD / NVidia to give a damn about drivers and hardware for any game or even for them to look at trying to fix anything.
Hardly true. If they didnt give a damn. about hardware for any game. then they wouldnt be in the business of making hardware like graphics cards and motherboards.
and AMD/Nvidia wouldnt pay to have their logos & slogans advertised in a game.
Nvidia has quite often payed a lot of money to devs to make games more 'optimised' for their graphic cards. AMD probably does the same, but on a much lesser scale.
It is obvious they care. So what if fixes for games sometimes come much later then expected? I few months ago AMD released drivers that had fixes for Company of heroes. the game has been out for a long time, but still better late then never
We are being spoiled, just a short while ago you could not even get AMD / NVidia to make a working driver.
Im sorry for the problems you are having with AMD/Nvidia drivers but,
Ive never had a 'not working' driver from AMD. I cant even remember the last time I had major issues with their drivers. but i tend to stay away from beta or preview drivers and wait for the official drivers that are WHQL signed and have been through QA and not fast-tracked/rushed through.
BF3 driver is understandable they only tested with the beta of BF3 so you will have to wait for the actual full game used as base for the drivers to get real fixes.
AMD / NVidia is trying to play catch up from the BF3 beta.
BF3 beta has its own problems. Beta drivers have their own. Im sure AMD/Nvidia had access to the game a lot lot earlier then most people did so they could test their drivers out and make sure everything performs well. Unfortunately, rushing causes mistakes. same thing can be said about running with a pair of sharp scissors or a knife in your hand/pocket etc etc etc.
Same goes for gamers testing this beta driver, you can not start form a contaminated machine, uninstall the drivers properly then re-install the beta drivers and get a real sense for what is going on instead of posting bogus bugs from a contaminated machine and contaminated profiles.
So you automaticaly assume that no one here knows how to install/uninstall new drivers properly and just like the AMD/Nvidia driver team, are utterly useless and totally incapable of using a program such as driver sweeper? and we just like to bitch and moan about everything.
Bugged drivers are bugged, no amount of rainbows, pixie dust and dancing Leprechauns are going to unbug them unless AMD/Nvidia release a fix or find the bugs just in time.
Either way thank G* that they now give a damn about their drivers, it is a miracle.
Theyve always given a damn unlike some companies (Asus soundcard dept and Creative come to mind) but you've just been too dumb to notice it.

my Cat 11.9's work just fine with BF3 and any game i play without any CTDs or BSODs thank you very much.
