Make sure to view the images at the bottom of the Skyrim section... Click on them for larger versions and interactive with sliders to view RealTime differences between two different driver versions.

Too bad AMD isn't giving us Radeon users any of this kind of love. Almost makes me wish I had the money to switch now. Almost.

@Porscha:

I'll see if it doing the same on mine. If it is I'll put in a Bug ticket to them.

@Arthmoor:

Sell your video card and buy a NVidia LOL JK (or am I?)
