    After doing some lunch time testing #Skyrim seems to be running better with Catalyst 11.11 and CAP 1.

    Maybe nothing specific.. but there is that :)

    wax.

    using the new drivers and CAP I am able to play Skyrim on Ultra settings with Crossfire now. Not awesome FPS, but 40-60.

    Hopefully Skyrim CAP will increase that even more

    OK, stupid question, but what is CAP 1?

    Catalyst Application Profiles, I believe.

    Custom settings for certain games.. when you load the game EXE.. blammo, card configured based on AMD's recommendations.

    Another stupid question: Should there be Catalyst 11.11 for mobile cards? I went to update my driver today on my laptop and the downloader started pulling 11.10 again.

    Probably not until later this month.. I believe even the 11.11 are actually "beta", typically the full drivers are out nearer the end of the month.

    The 11.11 are not beta; they're WHQL-certified, full release.

    AMD is too busy playing Skyrim to release a Catalyst Application Profile(mainly CrossfireX) for Skyrim.

    Since we are having this discussion, why not roll the CAP into the driver? Why separate them? It just seems like it adds an unnecessary step?

    I'd assume it's so they can update CAP without having to update Catalyst

    I suppose that is logical, but if you had a certain CAP version just included with the driver, it would not necessarilly prevent them from issuing a hotfix for that CAP would it?

    The issue here is that the Skyrim CAP wasn't ready when the driver was.

    There is a new CAP for Saints Row and Gothic 4 Arcania.

    AMD said fffffffffuuuuuuu to Skyrim

    I can assure you we did not. We were just provided pre-release builds of those games. Bethesda did not follow suit.
