Tested with 4870x2. Some artifacts/glitches disappeared that were present during previous drivers + benchmarks. Seems like they worked on the crossfire profile for Crysis Warhead. Crossfire profile added for Dead Space +25 avg fps. No difference in The Witcher.

The drivers don't fail! That's a win! :D

You should never flash with drivers installed. It's always best to do the flash from DOS and not through a Windows utility.
