    Why are these being posted two days later than other sites?

    Crossfire is still broken for the 290x. With it turned on, it garbles the audio in games. Only happens with vsync enabled so I assume they haven't figured out frame pacing yet. Been up on the AMD support forums and it's not just me. I haven't yet seen a release driver that works with the 290x in crossfire (they released the card using a beta driver.) Anyway it's time to start testing/benchmarking Radeons with the sound turned on, so they can't cheat. (The problem happens with onboard audio and external cards, I'm not sure about audio over hdmi)

    Why are moderators for this very site asking redundant questions?

    Because such questions need to be asked?

    Out of curiosity, is it safe to update drivers directly by running the executable now? In the past, it'd cause issues, and was recommended to do a complete install (clean up old drivers then run new ones).

    really....is the 7970 card SOOOOOO old that there's nothing left to update on it? I guess AMD has got that thing mastered....

    @MagicPants - The release notes don't claim crossfired 290x's are fixed.

    MM, I would assume its due to them getting the info, submitting it to the editor then waiting publication.

    I agree though, THG should be faster. It's considered one of the largest tech sites out there. The reviews come fast enough but the news lags too much.

    Still I love THG. Just want it to be the best there is.

    I feel the same as you mate which is why I think it's time these questions are asked, I'm not holding my breath for a response though.

    Let's be fair though; neither Anandtech nor Fudzilla had an article on them until the same date.
