This isn't like one of those driver updates where the benchmarks get better but the visual quality gets worse, is it?

 

Also, it sucks for the people that already bought a 7800/7900 GPU series. Way to reward the early birds!

Guys, these drivers are pretty good!

I tested them and i have some benchmarks run too and the difference from 12.8 to 12.11!

This one is with 12.8 with no overclock on the card.

I was really surprised that with 12.11 and without overclock there is a 13 difference in score with the Overclocked 12.8!

 

I tested it with games too, like Skyrim, MW3 and Assassin's Creed 2 brotherhood... everything worked fine with no issues...

 

P.S. Ignore the freaky frame rates from feature tests... i have this issue a week or more now...

 

Edit: It happened once, drivers were not recognized till i restarted my computer, and the clocks were "locked" at 300Mhz on Gpu and 150 on Memory. Even when i run a game... But it happened only once!
