Only real thing of note is something they call "AMD Steady Video". A new feature that's greyed out for me, but apparently it's next to useless. Cursor corruption is claimed to be address, but I still get it. Oh, but now my Eyefinity profile never loads. Any time i want to enable Eyefinity, I have to make a new group and set the bezels. Every Single. Time.

The usual slight performance increases in a few games, fixes for crashes and corruption while using Crossfire, etc.

Oh, ATI and their driver silliness. Will they ever be able to steadily release drivers that make actual improvements? The cursor and Profile loading issues have been hanging on since EF was first released.

:doh

I noticed that the later drivers even went backwards in terms of profile management compared to 10.x series.
I recall with 10.x you had the option to view the details and edit a profile without having to actually load it, the newer 11.x series only gives you the option to delete, apply, or cancel :doh

Oh and 11.x does nto even give you the option to create desktop shortcuts... you have to copy and paste them from the start menu instead, again, unlike 10.x.

Also a Hotfix. Big surprise.
