    I'm using CCC 11.4 preview with the 10.12a driver. I like the control panel updates for Eyefinity tab but don't want to screw with my stability on 5x1P.

    Thanks! I wasn't sure how that video would end up, but it turned out halfway decent...

    Performance seems to be up in unigine, all though still heavily bottlenecked by my 1100t at 4.2ghz for 3 6970's. Don't really feel like setting back up the i7 860 rig (All though i know for a fact that it would lay a beating to my current AMD rig).  Thanks for posting! Where did you find the release notes at?

    Can anyone with an I7 do some testing with some 6970/6950 to observe this alleged 50% increase in unigine?

    I dled these a couple days ago and it seems to have fixed my issues with the 6870. If that truly is the case then when I go to build my next rig I'll be able to put the extra cash saved from getting a replacement video card towards something else.

    Maybe they meant Heaven 2.1, 2.5 added a host of more visual effects. Which is kind of lame i guess. Maybe to compete with 3dmark11? I would try running versioin 2.1
