AMD has released AMD Catalyst 11.11a video card drivers for Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP

Grab them here: http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pa ... mance.aspx
Highlights of the AMD Catalyst 11.11a driver:

Batman Arkham City
o Improves DirectX 11 performance for single GPU configurations

Rage
o Enables AMD CrossfireX performance scaling
o Resolves a number of image / stability issues seen with the title:
§ Fix geometry corruption, sometimes seen in Bash TV entrance
§ Fix issues with Low-memory conditions on 32bit systems.
§ Fix issue with extreme corruption with missing textures on 32bit systems.
§ Fix memory leaks when deleting/reusing sync objects.
§ Fix hitching and pausing, especially noticeable on some Quad Core systems when doing races and Stanley Express runs.
§ Fix some missing shadows

Elder Scrolls Skyrim
o Improves performance 2-7% on single GPU configurations
o Resolve corruption seen when enabling Multi-Sample Anti-Aliasing on the AMD Radeon HD 6970 Series
o Disables CrossFireX (to resolve negative scaling and image quality issues seen when CrossFireX is enabled)
§ AMD is continuing to work on a CrossFireX solution for Skyrim – as soon as it’s ready we’ll make it publicly available

Battlefield 3
o Resolves intermittent corruption seen when playing the game at specific camera angles

Heh, just when I thought that the 11.11 drivers would be the only drivers this month, the 11.11a drivers spring up. Thank you very much for the heads up. I'll make sure to upgrade once I get back from school. Skyrim is running really well after I toned down shadows to medium with little visual impact, but extra smoothness is always appreciated.

A fix for CrossFire is in the works for Skyrim, so if you are running CrossFire be sure to keep hanging in there.

Also, you might be aware that AMD Radeon graphics cards experience V-Sync cap at around 60fps. To work around this, you can turn this cap off by adding the line “iPresentinterval=0” to the Skyrim.ini file.
