Download AMD Catalyst 12.11 Beta 7

AMD just updated their Catalyst 12.11 towards Beta 7. No description or changes have been announced but we assume this driver is optimized for Black Ops II and the upcoming Hitman and Asassins Creed release. Still no WHQL though. The 12.11 Beta driver overall opposed to the previous driver releases the team has been able to boost overall game performance throughout the 7000 series with 5% and up-to 20%, so that's quite significant.

10%-15% more performance in Battlefield 3 in most cases

More than 20% in certain missions and sequences (Comrades)

Up to 7% more performance in Metro 2033
Up to 10% more performance in DIRT Showdown
Up to 8% more performance in Sleeping Dogs
Up to 12% more performance in Civilization V
Up to 10% more performance in StarCraft II
Up to 8% more performance in Sniper Elite: V2

I appreciate all they're doing for performance, but I need a WHQL. Some metro apps don't like beta drivers...I'm looking at you, Netflix.
