We dropped Cat 11.10 today, and there are some pretty good things inside the driver.
  • Performance enhancements for Battlefield 3 (extra work for AA and CrossFire)
  • Performance improvements for single-GPU configs in id's RAGE.
  • 16k*16k resolutions in DirectX 11 applications
  • Bezel compensation for monitors of mismatched densities ("universal bezel comp")
  • Official (WHQL) Eyefinity 5x1 Portrait and Landscape support
  • RHEL 5.7 support
  • Ubuntu 11.10 Early Look support
  • Totally revamped AMD OverDrive panel for AMD+AMD users.

    The only thing is the drivers are on the left side, not the right.

    You only have to worry if you are in Australia. Between being upside down, rampant kangaroo attacks and deadly koalas, drivers have a hard time not causing BSOD

    Is the recommended process still to go to Safe Mode, use Driver Sweeper, kill everything old, and install the new fresh? I ask only because of recent issues arising from just installing 11.9 over 11.8.

    I still do that sometimes, but it's not "recommended" per se. I've installed right over the top for 11.8, 9, and 10 w/o issues, but that's the way the cookie crumbles in the land of drivers.

    I just installed 11.10 yesterday, over the top of 11.6 or 7 I believe, running Crossfire 5830's and I have no issues. All drivers updated to appropriate values.

    Thanks. On upgrading the other day, I got dropped at a black (but powered) screen that didn't do anything. Dropped into safe mode and cleaned it right up, was just wondering if it was always better to do that or if I just fluked it up. :)
