This is what we have been waiting for :lol:
 
Immense driver release and amazing marketing strategy on AMD's part. With these drivers I'm 100% positive AMD are the clear winner in this gen.

Before 12.11 I was getting between 40-60% GPU usage in all games after 12.11 I am getting 100% in nearly all games and to think AMD's cards were competing with Nvidia with only 40-60% GPU usage LOL now they must be over the moon with these great move by them. Nvidia underestimated the capabilities of 7xxx with AMD's purposely crap drivers. AMD waited for Nvidia to release there full line up then BAM 12.11 Beta. Problem Nvidia?

btw Sapphire HD 7870 OC

edit.

Would be fascinating to see benchmarks between HD7xxx vs 6xx with catalyst 12.11 vs Nvidia latest performance driver for 6xx.. Got these feely feels AMD come out on top.

edit found some head to head comparisons 12.11 vs 310.33
