AMD Releases Battlefield 3-Ready Beta Radeon Drivers
AMD's new Catalyst 11.10 Preview driver is optimized for the Battlefield 3 Open Beta for Radeon HD 6000 and Radeon HD 5000 Series GPUs.
As promised early Monday, AMD has released a "preview" driver with improved performance for the just-launched Battlefield 3 Open Beta. The news arrives after Nvidia released its new GeForce 285.38 beta drivers which promise up to 38-percent better performance in the Battlefield 3 Open Beta compared to the previously-released 285.27 drivers.
Although AMD didn't specify percentages in reference to improved performance, users should see better results for both non-Anti-Aliasing and application-enabled Anti-Aliasing cases on the AMD Radeon HD 6000 and AMD Radeon HD 5000 Series for single GPU and CrossFire configurations.
Monday the company also said that the new Catalyst 11.10 Preview driver enables support for Eyefinity 5x1 display (portrait and landscape) configurations using the AMD Radeon HD 6000 and AMD Radeon HD 5000 Series. The Vision Engine Control Center has also been updated with UI enhancements for the CrossfireX, GPU Overdrive, and Information Center pages.

downloaded and installed them as per and what do you know the CCC panel wouldnt start so i had to remove em... well done amd bringing out broken packages for games that aint released yet...
the game played well enough in the alpha stage on my 5870 so i dont get why they released these drivers for the beta...
and if they are gonna keep doing this make sure they work first.
im clad to say that it was a short lived bug... the latest 12.1 performance drivers are much better and absolutely stable.
