Interesting!

 

so thats what it was... i was wondering why i got the drivers shut off message out of the blue... didn't happen often though...

want ME3 nothing really important form what i can make out though. i like my games 2d over 3d, never got the charm of "3D WOWZ" anyways off to test if theres some noticeable stuff, i've been on 285 for a while.

 

With this set I can't play Rage anymore. It gives me error -51. Also had a CTD while playing BF3.

Had to go back to 290.53

 

If anyone tries this with LoL and better framerates on the R2 w/o crashes let me know.

 

Later I will be installing these drivers on my R3 but I dont put to much hope into these cause I installed them on my M15x and lost up to 16FPS on Starcraft 2. And durring game play some areas I lost well over 20FPS when I normally run 60+ on Ultra.

 

Guess they will just never fix sonic generations?

 

Care, its giving the Steam error 51 on Skyrim. This pissed me off, then I finally discovered that the problem was this driver.

 

Argh, the topic title does not say BETA, until you enter the post, so I updated and I´m also getting Error 51 in half of my Steam games.....

>_<

 

It does now, sorry about that.
