    Any must have updates for the R2. I am not having any issues, just been away for a while and wanted to see what was new.


    I have BIOS A10

    I have the Dell Beta VBios for the xfire cards. and the old 8.763 drivers. (XFire 5870's)

    Not really any real updates buddy.
    Only really one to mention would be perhaps the GPU Drivers as they get updated at least once a month by AMD.

    Currently at version 11.5 with 11.5CAP 5
    So if you want to update your GPU drivers then yeh that is something to try out.

    Hardware wise - Crossfire 6970s could be the go next for a lot of R2 users.

    Cheers. :)
