    Hey,

    If you have AMD hardware, tweet @CatalystCreator demanding multi-threading support. That's the biggest performance improvement from DX11 and AMD drivers still don't support it after 2 years.

    Nvidia drivers do support DX11 MT. There are multiple games now that support DX11 MT and that's the big thing Game Developers want supported on PC.

    Slam CatalystCreator demanding it. Get AMD to support it!

    NVIDIA currently offers full support for multi-threaded rendering/deferred contexts/command lists, AMD does not. It's a free potential 30% performance boost on select DX11 games!

    September of 2009, AMD what to expect from DX11

    AMD is holding back the potential of your gaming machine, and they know it!

    It doesn't seem to make a difference in BF3.

    I'd rather have proper OpenGL support for switchable graphics.

    I'd like the catalyst control center to go back to the 11.9/11.10 preview 3 edition so I could exit sleep mode properly.

    ...well it's either that or the 11.10 and 11.11 drivers (but not 11.10 preview 3 drivers) that broke it.
