Uhm... You quoted every comment on the thread and then quoted the website... Would you care to elaborate on your quotations?

 

EDIT: Seems that the forum uploaded your post before you'd finished it or you quoted, posted and then edited.

I am wanting to get an Arma 3 driver update. For both AMD and Nvidia so It can make my framerate a little bit better.

That was a bug introduced with 13.8/Beta2

Question: Since I'm only running 1 GPU right now, and all of the Beta drivers coming out are for multi GPU and based on an older driver kernel than the current stable release, should I uninstall the beta and go back to the stable release for now? Nothing they're doing right now is really helping me at all, and since it's based on an older kernel I might be missing out on some single GPU optimizations.

Nah, the changelog is a bit weird

In the changelog for 10.8 Beta 2 under "Knows issues" there is this

 

  • Enabling CrossFire can result in the PCI-e bus speed for the secondary GPU being reported as x1

So, I don't think it ran in x1, just got reported like it was

Run a benchmark in ARMA 3 or whatever and test both to find out.

I thought that I saw something in the 13.8 release about DirectX 9 support coming on a future driver. Its not in this one apparently, anyone know anything more about when/if this is going to happen?
