3DMark11 - HD5870 CF - Catalyst 10.12 CCC2 not approved by 3DMark 11 ?

[Blín D'ñero]

Was just looking at techspot's page, with the HD5970 score on top, so i decided to see what my 5870 crossfire setup would do.

• They got my CPU clock wrong, it's 3.825 Ghz
• They do not approve of Catalyst 10.12 .

[EDIT: ah.. wait, i'm running the Cat 10.12 CCC2 Preview driver! That's not WHQL...]

But who cares, i don't. At least i can compare score to what i can find of HD6970 crossfire, like on legitreviews.

System Specs: * i7 920 D0 @ 3.8 Ghz (19×200) * ZALMAN CPNS9900LED * Asus P6T Deluxe V2 (bios 610) * 12 GB Corsair CMD12GX3M6A1600C8 DDR3 @ 1600 Mhz [triple channel] * Asus 2 × HD5870 crossfire @ stock * Creative X-Fi Titanium Fatality Pro [PCI-E] * Corsair HX 850W * WD 6401AALS + WD 6401AALS * Optiarc AD 5240S * Dell U2410 @ 1920x1200 * Steelseries 7G * Logitech G9 * Steelseries SX * Coolermaster Stacker STC T01 * Logitech Z-5500 * Sennheiser HD595 * Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit *

With Catalyst 11.1a it's the same (the result, and the 'non-approved').

^after the update 101, it still can't get my cpu right (it's running @ 3.82), it now just mentions the factory clock.
