I wonder if this has something to do with the fact that I now have a 2nd monitor- are there any specific Catalyst Control Cneter settings I must make so that BF3 doesn't attempt to stretch the game across both screens?

I also have noticed that PowerDVD 10 will not open and gives the error message that it is not optimized for this resolution and will now close. And another game, X3, has a lot of tearing onscreen when I navigate the in-game menus.

I was able to run IL1946 on the center screen without any problems.

I have my center HP 30" set as the main desktop within CCC.

I haven't attempted to set any Eyefinity configs yet b/c I am still waiting on a 3rd monitor.

I would go ahead and try the 12.2 preview drivers. The comments are that they are much better at handling different resolutions in multi monitor setups (don't know about managing different ratios though).

Known issue I think with 12.1, 12.2 fixes this.

Yeah, try 12.2
Quote:
If you insist on living on the edge, AMD also released an even more advanced 12.2 preview driver set. The main improvements come to those using Eyefinity:

Additional resolution support: Users can now choose from a larger set of resolutions when running AMD Eyefinity
Dynamic Configuration Changes: Switching between different display configurations will occur automatically when physically plugging/un-plugging displays
HydraVision™ enhancements: The Windows® Task bar can now be moved and resized based on users preference
Profile Manager improvements: Increased support for Display Groups (including 5x1) and Extended configurations within the Profile Manager
Gamers will also appreciate the new version as it fixes a number of bugs when running on Windows 7.

Call of Duty IV no longer displays random corruption when in DirectX® 9 more and the Edge Detect filter is enabled.
A black screen is no longer occasionally displayed when running Portal 2 in 3D mode.
All 3d Anti Aliasing settings are now correctly listed in the Vision Control Center.
Morphological filtering settings are now correctly listed in the Vision Control Center.
Civilization V no longer experiences random crashes when run in DirectX® 10 and DirectX® 11 modes.
Enabling the ‘Edge Detect’ filter in Resident Evil 5 or Just Cause 2 no longer generates a random application crash.
Battlefield 3 no longer hangs when MSAA is enabled.
Saints Row III no longer experiences random hangs.
Rage no longer experiences intermittent hangs when Crossfire is enabled.
Dragon Age 2 textures no longer flicker when run in DirectX® 9 mode in Crossfire configurations with vsync enabled.
Crysis Warhead and Battlefield Bad Company 2 no longer experience random crashes when Crossfire is enabled.
Texture flickering is no longer experienced when playing Battlefield Bad Company 2 in DirectX® 11 mode.

Thanks all
Because they are beta drivers, are there any known bugs?

One known issue is that the 12.2 enables the hydravision desktop by default (look for it in the running processes).


Easy enough to disable in the CCC.
