these came out a day or to ago and are worse than the beta 2 driver at least on my x850xtpe because i was using the beta2 drivers with no problems upgraded to these and any 3d app eventually blue screens
i tried uninstalling reinstalling and all and got the same crash tested with bf2 and css

yeah...well i guess they will not support crossfire then :/

Why do you say that?

[2r4z0r2]

well that driver does not support it, so if they are saying they are ready w/o implementation of crossfire, i can only conclude that they will not support it :P

I can confirm no Crossfire support...

And actually, this driver sucks for games, even when in compatibility mode.
