    Said I wouldn't try betas again but eh I was too tempted to try it. More stable then the previous beta since that one gave me issues. Performance seems to be about the same though. I'm running a single 6870 for anyone wondering.

    This other new set of drivers seems to be stable as well with my single 6870. Same performance at least on my card.
