Trust me, you are going to love that card, and be sure to install the latest driver.....if a WHQL driver isn't out by then, go for the 'Never Settle' Cat 12.11 Beta11 driver, plus 12.11 CAP2. With that driver, my TriFire HD7970's does BF3 @6036x1200, Ultra setting + 4xMSAA. On the 'Going Hunting' level, I see my framerate at between 70fps to >100fps. There was another thread where a guy was complaining about hisdual HD7970 performance in BF3, when we suggested he use Cat12.11 B11 + CAP2, he declined because of bad experiences with beta driver. What he doesn't get, or refuses to listen to, is that the Cat12.11 driver really boosted HD7xxx cards' performance since it was optimized for the GCN architecture, that is, HD7xxx cards. I have this driver and CAP installed in both my main rig, and my 3rd rig which has a HD6990, absolutely no problem at all....other than some stuttering issue with FC3, which ironically, is a Gaming Evolved title.
