I just installed 12.4 and im skeptical but we will see. The Whole 12.2/12.2 pre-certified cause driver crashes with BF3 and my 6970. Legit 12.3 was decent and i had no probs. ill see how 12.4 is as its just been installed and i rebooted.

Hmm. Well, I'll try upgrading to 12.4, and if that doesn't work it looks like I'm due for a Windows reinstall anyway, so I can roll back to 12.1 at that point.

12.4 is a fail for me so far, artifacts everywhere, AMD Control Center won't open once again, etc.

Going to reinstall tonight, if that doesn't fix my issues I'll go back to 12.3, it's insane to have to do all this work just to get drivers to work properly.

After giving these drivers a shot for a few days I'm sadly disappointed in them. First off I get minor things like the cmd window popping up on boot and hanging for what I deem too long. Second when I sleep the machine and wake it I sometimes lose audio thru the hdmi. Sound devices states it's "not plugged in" but I have video. Can't really vouch for the performance difference in games but I've had a stuttering issue when watching live tv in WMC for the last 3 updates it seems.
On a seperate note, I know how to roll back a driver but if I wanted to reinstall CCC 12.1 for example, what would be the proper way to do so? I'm a little weary of using 3rd party tools to clean drivers because for one this has an AMD chipset and second I can't screw it up for days. It's a HTPC that is used by my family constantly.

I am getting same thing, I monitored clocks and it seems that when I run for example battlefield 3 in eyefinity, clocks are: 700MHz on GPU1, 250MHz GPU2, 250MHz GPU3.

And this is all with cleanest, very careful installation of drivers.
