    Im scared lol, the 8.7 beta's broke the living hell out of my computer. However supposedly they were "fake" so maybe these are ok.

    Problem is there is no easy way to fix them if they give me the same problem again (not able to boot into windows, black screen)

    Anyways just as important as a driver link the release notes HERE

    They have some very nice fixes in there but most of them single card so wont effect me much. Lost Planet DX9 is about the only crossfire improvement 1.7x better scaling o_O

    Yeah so does Devil May Cry 4 and ATI absolutely decimates Nvidia in that game.

    Exactly.. with your benchmark you did, you are outrunning SLI 8800GTX with 60FPS on each test based on the benchmarking thread on Guru3d
