by Matthew-Murray (Sep, 2011)No, the games won’t look the absolute best they can, but they’ll still look fine — and play well.
by Lee-Mathews (May, 2011)With the arrival of HWA in four of the top Web browsers — Internet Explorer 9, Firefox 4, Google Chrome, and Opera, it’s more important than ever for graphics drivers to be as stable as possible while still yielding peak performance.
Features Key features of the GeForce GTX 1080 11Gbps
pixel rate Number of pixels a graphics card can render to the screen every second
texture rate Speed at which a graphics card can perform texture mapping
floating point performance How fast the gpu can crunch numbers
shading units Subcomponents of the gpu, these run in parallel to enable fast pixel shading
texture mapping units Built into each gpu, these resize and rotate bitmaps for texturing scenes
render output processors GPU commponents responsible for transform pixels as they flow between memory buffers

Considering the frame rates are already a bit low, however, trying to render VXGI at 2560x1440 would really require at least two GPUs to do it justice.
[Update: reader fallaha56 passed along information below: from the command line you can use "-ResX [width] -ResY [height] -Fullscreen" to set a custom resolution; 4K support appears to require too much memory, but performance at 2560x1440 is quite choppy with a single GPU, as expected].

Notebooks also get the new drivers, though only for Windows 7 and 8 it seems.
It's not clear whether DSR will be available for other GPUs, but it's definitely not enabled on my GTX 780 right now and I suspect it will be limited to the new Maxwell GM204 GPUs for at least a little while.

Also Intel has confirmed problems with the 450nm wafer transition however it maintains that it is still on track.
Hyper-threading will also of course be supported along with Turbo Boost 2.0 and finally Intel’s Smart Cache Tech, which will range upto 20MB LLC.

As was the case with all previous Catalyst 12.11 Beta releases, this one also features all the performance improvements and bug fixes from previous releases.
In addition to the performance improvements in Far Cry 3, the new Beta 11 driver release also resolves system hang issues with HD 7000 series GPU on Intel's X58 and X79 chipsets, inermittent hang with HD 7000 series GPUs in Crossfire Eyefinity setup, image corruption issue seen in certain DirectX 9.0c titles, missing fonts in XBMC, no video issue in Media Player Classic HC, stability issues that plagued Catalyst 11.12 Beta 8 Linux driver, and issues with HDMI Audio under Ubuntu 12.04.
