Well, even w/o MSAA there is a small performance bump. And with MSAA even more! 2xMSAA is running smooth with 50FPS+ now on my HD7870, 4xMSAA is 40FPS+.
So, the improvement isn't limited to 4x and 8xMSAA!

I take it CAP are pre installed into the driver so no need for CAP2 12.11?

AMD said even if you did the driver ignores it. Hope that answers your question.

Only if you (and everybody else experiencing the issue) report it here: http://www.amd.com/betareport
If you did already, good Not sure if it'll get fixed or not (or when), but letting AMD know directly of any bugs is always a good idea to have a chance at them to get fixed :p

I haven't gotten the chance to try 13.2 (official) on W8 yet, and I also only use Chrome :/ Sorry I can't be of more help than that though, but maybe someone else can chime in
I'm on Kubuntu 12.10 currently on 13.2 Beta 3.

hope this new beta didn't just improve upon that 1 thing,
because i suspected that the culprit behind my PC often froze is 13.2 beta series,
because after i installed that beta, since the unofficial beta and i'm currently on beta 3,
i've got random froze, and just froze not BSOD, and sometimes it can unfroze if i press ctrl+alt+del.
never had this issue with the previous drivers.
because the only thing changed in the last few weeks is only the driver for my GPU.
