These drivers are fast but broke dual monitors and crossfire for me. Everytime I start a full windowed game my second display loses sync. That might explain the performance increase im seeing but not sure. I have to disable and then enable the monitor to get it working again. Also the water in the first benchmark in Vantage has a huge corruption problem. Anyone else having these problems?

Dual monitors are still working for me, but I'm just using a single card.

Does anyone know if the image quality is better than 8.5? AVSForum had someone test 8.2 through 8.5 and 8.2 came out the best. One thing I saw was 8.5 messed with some colors as I saw on Prison Break S1 Disc 2 had problem with people have "lipstick" lips
