Appreciate your response although I read the release notes and meant more that I was looking forward to hearing how well the drivers live up to their promise.
They don't, that fix is due 10.10, in regards of scaling (not sure about the color sat). I just read something about people saying the 10.9a hotfix fixes the HDMI overscan/underscan issue, vsync in q3 engine games and popcap game issues, link is at the bottom of this post. Maybe try your luck with those.Any word on if these fix the HDTV scaling and CFX color saturation bugs from 10.7 and 10.8? I'm getting awfully sick of 10.5a and it's busted multi-channel HDMI audio.
I don't see an option in SC2 to enable AA. CCC 10.9a, twin HD5870s.
Maybe my game client is not updated?
That's because that option doesn't exist in the game. Try enabling the antialiasing from the Catalyst Control Center and then enter the game. Hopefully, that works. I'll be able to try later in the evening and will post my results later tonight.

I think it does. I output via HDMI adapter to a TV, and whenever I would change drivers, the overscan would reset back to 15% below full size. Installing 10.9a gave me a full-scan desktop right from the start, no adjustment needed.
Mate I'm at the office at the moment I don't support your running crossfire and can test the saturation flickering out on 10.9a?
I dont know what problem youre asking me to test, since I havent noticed any color saturation or flickering problems. My colors look the same as they always have.
Theres an issue that popped up in the 10.7 and 10.8 releases in which changes made to the color saturation using the slider in CCC was not being applied across both cards when running crossfire. This results in a range of color related issues when in game, the issue isn't visible in 2D applications. For instance Starcraft 2 will flicker between the standard color value and the modified color value every alternating frame. In Metro 2033 the red and blue color ranges go crazy and flicker wildly. I am unsure if this is an issue on dual GPU cards though. The issue effects anyone using a "dumb display" panel where the saturation adjustments in the driver is used to increase on screen color values.
Theres also a problem with BGR display detection, but thats been around for longer than 10.7 and 10.8.
Ok, crossfire still does not work for Starcraft 2. Freaking garbage!
Antialiasing does work, though, and does make the game look nicer. But I want a framerate increase! I don't care about antialiasing.....grrrrr.
OH F ME! my 5850 comes in the mail on friday and I bought it thinking SC2 would see an improvement. Damn.
On my secondary rig with a 4870 it gave install errors, failed and I had to remove everything and start fresh. It could be that I was running 10.4's but I don't know. Serves me right for clicking a day1 release
I wonder if this means that CrossFireX might be crippled with D3D games running full screen because secondary GPU is running on 2D clocks? I hope that "samples/games" is only referring to their own technology demos and not to games in general.Known Issues Under the Windows 7 Operating System
- Secondary (Slave) GPU and Memory Clock values might fail to increase when D3D samples/games are running in full screen mode
Here's hoping this problem gets magically fixed in the next Blizzard patch.

I completely agree with you, Kor, that ATI/AMD need to abandon the monthly drivers updates and instead focus on releasing drivers only when they're ready, perhaps releasing the odd beta/preview driver inbetween like NVIDIA do. They can use the Catalyst Application Profiles to add support for new games and improve support for existing ones; that is what I thought they were for!
I feel that these monthly WHQLed drivers are like a noose around ATI/AMD's neck because they HAVE to complete them and submit them to Microsoft for certification to make the end of the next month. That must put a tremendous amount of pressure on the driver team and it is no wonder that stuff gets broken and issues remain unresolved month after month. My guess is this is why NVIDIA don't have a strict monthly driver policy and it shows as their drivers are, IMHO as a long-time user of their graphics cards, far better with fewer issues. They can just refer to the drivers by version, e.g. this month's are v8.771 (or whatever they are).
They released 10.8b last week - too late to make it into a WHQL validated driver for this month. As a result, 10.9a is already out.
