    I agree. Seems like a boost from 12.1.

    Can anyone confirm if X-Fire works properly in Skyrim for these drivers?

    I've got them installed and they seem to be running great. However I don't have Skyrim so unfortunately can't verify how well they work.

    Installation went well, and no blue screens so far.

    3Dmark11 and Vantage both improved a little from 12.1

    Okay, I had to reinstall these drivers (don't ask why). When I try to open up CCC now, it says 'Could not load file or assembly 'CLI.Implementation' When you open up the .zip, you just click the setup right? That was my impression. Ugh...so frustrating.

    For those more familiar with the 3D Application Settings in CCC, do I want the Texture Filtering Quality under the Catalyst A.I. set to High Quality?

    Edit: Solved.
