Hey guys anyone noticed improvements with a single 7970?

Nope.

 

[cvtmih]

I expected this to be the "ultimate driver".

 

[M1GU31]

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.

 

[BugMeister]

it's the best one for quite a while..

- runs brilliantly in crossfire mode..
- again via 6870's

BF:BC2, BF3, Skyrim all running sweetly..
IE10 going like a train..

video and Blu-Ray playback is excellent
as is Flash player etc. in YouTube..

Anyone else in the same boat?
