Cause they don't seem normal for a regular driver update...
From Anand's article:

Finally, these seem to be clean optimizations, as image quality has been held constant in most of our games (e.g.: Battlefield 3). The sole exception is Skyrim, and this is something we’re certain is an unrelated bug. On our 7970 we appear to be missing a lighting pass, but only on our 7970. On our 7870 with the same exact settings everything is being rendered correctly. AMD has told us that they haven’t seen this issue in-house (it would admittedly be hard to miss) so this may be some esoteric issue; due to the short preview window and our own testing time constraints AMD hasn’t had time to look into it further.

The WHQL versions of 12.9 was scrapped, yes, but the beta 12.9 was extensively tested by the public. The code from 12.9 will debut, with additional stability/fixes, as the 12.10 WHQL driver to coincide with Windows 8. Then we took that 12.10 driver, branched the code, and started building in performance enhancements to give you the 12.11 Beta driver you see today. We'll work on that beta code base until we can turn it into the 12.11 or 12.12 WHQL driver, depending on the month it's finally ready.
In parallel to developing the next WHQL driver, we'll start work on the 12.12 or 13.1 beta. smile.gif

Has the disappearing overdrive bug been fixed from these drivers?

ok i have currently 2x460GTX in SLI with i5 3570@ 4.5GHz
n after putting them together i realized how much heat they t generating
n how much loud i have to keep them to keep them normal
i dnt have much budget ... so i cant go for new cards out there thats y i am asking this from u guys
should i switch to Gigabyte 580GTX SC or MSI Hawk 7870
or keep my SLI
i am not expecting any performance gains or noticeable gains
i just dnt wana see performance drops if i switch
sli 460GTX is equal/close to 580GTX somewhat games which i usually play are BF2, BF3, MW2, MW3, Crysis 2, medal of honor, NFS Metro2033 not into starategic games or other similar games ... i also dnt play every title ...
and obviously ill overclock which ever gpu ill buy ... so what u guys suggets me
with current ctatlyst 12.11 every 7xxx series gpu has gained performace especially 7870 gained upto 10% as per many reviews ... but i dnt see direct comparison with 580gtx ...
so any suggestions ...

Oh wow.

I regret selling my 7950 now. But all those driver errors... was it worth switching to a driver error free 670? =/

And to think I just re installed my 12.9 drivers a day ago. Might have to give these a shot sometimes in the next day or so and see if I get any gains.
