On single amd gpu's the difference is hardly noticable, i checked it.. But it"s nice to see that crossfire finally gets support.

There was not a huge fps boost or anything (i bet the 1.1 patch should help with that) but the fps was more stable and it felt "smoother".
The main menu from in game didn't feel so laggy but it was still there and easy to tell with the software cursor.

There's a report over at guru3d about this driver (I think) saying that it introduces a number of visual artifacts to TW2. Anyone here getting that?

This is why I sold my AMD 4870 and upgraded to a GTX 570, AMD drivers are terrible. I like AMD cards, I really do, but their driver support is slow and just plain bad compared to Nvidia who almost always have a driver ready for any game launches.

I am in no rush to install this. My performance is fine w/ the 11.5a hot fix. I will wait.

They were working on it pre-release and everything was good but they said they weren't able to have access to the final version/sometimes that happens..apparently something changed in the final version.

I don't trust it!
that driver isn't up on the AMD site, so until I see an official AMD link I ain't touching it.
I kinda think that if this were even remotely legit then that dude who actually MAKES the hotfixes would have a post up on his twitter.

Are Mobility Radeon HD 5650 users need that too?
