I have been experiencing ctd while playing fonv. Here is the message:

Points to atiumd64.dll. It doesn't happen everytime, about 50/50. When it does it happens within the first 2-3 minutes playing.
Anyone else have this problem?

So, that main page mentions improved performance for certain games with tir/quad-crossfire modes. Does anyone know if that's a profile-based thing or a genuine improvement in driver behaviour?
Obviously I'll test and let everyone know, but I'll be surprised if they're better than the 8.96 Feb 14 drivers. They've been hard to top.

Skyrim play better than 12.8s?
Anyone notice if Skyrim performance is improved than the 12.8's?
Thanks.

Finally a driver package that does not create an error log entry upon bootup.

It seems to have rectified the problem. Just to be on the safe side save a copy of the current atiumd64.dll file before swapping.
Remember, you have to be booted into safe mode to swap this file.
I downloaded this one:

I was a bit weary of using Driver Sweeper as it doesn't seem to be supported anymore and some users have warned that it may delete important system files. Then I installed the new 12.9 betas and the shadows are gone again when set to ultra in Skyrim. It's weird that it only happens outdoors. Inside, the shadows work fine. I've narrowed it down to one line in the SkyrimPrefs.ini:
iShadowMapResolution=4096
If I set this value to 2048 (1/2) or even 8192 (x2), shadows work outdoors again. The problem is that 2048 looks kind of crappy and 8192 substantially lowers performance. I might just stick with the 2048 shadows and hope that 12.9 official drivers resolve the issue.
Ok, so I thoroughly uninstalled the 12.8 set again following this guide:

Ok, that would be nice. Only acereborn and myself seem to have experienced this here (based on this thread). I also posted on the Bethsoft forum a few days ago but no one else has confirmed this yet:

Well I still have outdoor shadows, even with Crossfire on. Trees were casting shadows as well as my character and rocks etc.
Not sure what to say about it.
