    Crossfire 7950/7970 owners, is it stable?

    Enjoy it mate. I would advise you install the CCC 13.2 Beta 4 drivers unless you are planning to play Crysis 3 as theer are a few anamolies with B5 on other games - most notably COD-BO2.

    Crossfire 7950/7970 owners, is it stable?

    I run 3x 7970's and if I am not benching on HWBot then I am playing, COD BO2, Arma II, Far Cry3 or Max Payne 3 at 5760x1080 @ 120hz and never have any dramas since CCC13.2 was released. Some games run a tad better in Crossfire so i tend to leave just 2x 70970s enabled if im not benching.

    Benchmarks. Advice needed to speed things up.

    Hi Guys, Are there any programs out there that show a solid, steady FPS in a window, so i can tweak AB live and monitor the difference that clock and voltage is making to my live FPS? Currently I run heaven and test that way, but we all know how flawed the Min FPS count is, and therefore the...

    AMD Catalyst™ driver version 8.95.5 released today.

    Join the club. The AMD changelogs often apear to have been written by someone illiterate. I really do wish they could get some driver and written support that was as good as the hardware engineers they seem to have. :( However, on a plus note, there are a lot of good reports from folk around...
