    lol, so how about CCC popped up a window yesterday asking me if I wanted to update to 11.11c drivers. You wouldn't believe how lightning quick I closed the window. Almost like I was afraid of getting malware popups if I didn't close the window. That quick. heheheheheheh. I hope they fix this BSOD issue with Xfire enabled on their next driver. So sad.

    I went back to 11.10 and 11.9 cap4. Skyrim works in crossfire, BF3 run super smooth, rage even with 1 card run maxed out at solid 60fps...

    11.11 are a BSOD party and the beta 11.12 instead of solving issues where CF doesn't work they simply disable it... call it a fix!

    @CptXabras

    I'm currently using the same driver setup as you are. Question 1: How did you get Skyrim to work in CrossfireX? Question 2: For me, BF3 runs excellently. with a perfect framerate. However, there's a slight shakiness that I'm not sure how to get rid of when moving the crosshairs about. Not a shakiness indicative of a poor FPS, I just can't look around smoothly. Any ideas?

    first thing disable V-sync in your Skyrim.ini file...helps a lot with the mouse lag and shuttering and increases FPS.

    Have you disabled V-sync in BF3 too?

    According to the M18x subforum, the 12 beta driver is out and is no longer causing BSOD on boot up after installing the driver on M17xR2.

    Ya it doesn't work. Sorry. Initial reports were incorrect. These new drivers disable CrossfireX. They do however seem to be giving better single card performance.
