I just finished testing out Crysis 2 to see if these driver's have any effect:p and I can tell I did get a performance increase and gameplay feels slot more smoother with an occasional slowdown here or there but this is with all settings maxed out at Ultra including DX11 patch + High Res texture pack, I did how ever get weird facial anomalies (glitches:confused:) but meh;)

I also just did the same with my quadfire set up and i will also confirm this as Crysis 2 ran alot smoother for me, best its ever run, very happy with this driver so far.

Been running this driver for a few days now and as far as I'm concerned it is by far the best Catalyst release in a while. All games are running very smooth and I have seen performance increases (although minimal) here and there which is just great considering I'm running ye olde HD 5770. Image quality is good and I have not come across any weird glitches/problems yet.

I'll soon be adding a second HD 5770 so will be interesting to see how this driver handles crossfire. Well done AMD :)

Has anyone tested MLAA performance in Cat 11.7 and Cat 11.8 to check if MLAA performance gains are really around up to 30% ?

11.8 causes BC2 MP to freeze for ~ 10 seconds when I first join a new server. Did previous driver versions do this as well?
