hey guys! i've been using the mentioned drivers for quite awhile now . completed batman arkham city on them only and now playing modern warfare 3. in arkham city and now in the current game too i have random (but not regular or frequent) BSODs. in arkham city it has happened usually when i was quitting the game and now in modern warfare 3 when a mission is over and just before the intro video for next one starts.

also while i was able to play the game through to the end, BAC was getting really low FPS. now i know it had issues on launch but since i've bought it i've not been able to find out if any proper patches for the game has come since i've the gfwl version and it's not proper updating as far as i've used it.

so if there's a patch for it out there please provide a link for it or direct me to the proper site. and now that i'm playing MW3 and planning to play AC: revelations next so current 12.1 preview drivers are fine for it or the next available ones are better and if so please do suggest which one is the best amongst them?

I moved back to 11.xx whatever the latest 11 was. I started using 12.1 and started getting BSODS overnight while running BOINC. No issues in my games though, Joint Operations, Just Cause 2, UT2004, UT2007, Serious Sam III. All of them never had any issues. Just it seemed overnight idling/BOINCing was.

I meant to say I didn't use the preview, I waited for the official relase. But I was still getting BSODs. 2x6870 XFX cards crossfire on MSI 890GX mainboard.

Friend with 3450 w/HDMI out upgraded ATI drivers recently, and has been having some strange problems. Perhaps related to this thread?
