So far it's only the preview driver:

AMD Page:
A brief glance shows it's some fixes for Crossfire, 3D Stereo, profile support and some game fixes.

It's nice to see a flurry of updates as it means they are addressing issues. However, a flurry of updates makes me uneasy as it seems they are rushing things out and not doing their due diligence before releasing them.

I think I will stay away from it due to the fact that the 11.11c drivers were erroring out all my work from Milkyway. I went all the way back to 11.2 again.

I tested 12.1 preview under Win7 x64 yesterday on my HD6950 hardware.
Looks like that annoying wrong computations bug is fixed.
So this driver is safe to use with MB7 ATi.

About its performance - question under investigation now, all can test on their own hardware.

I don't see any change in performance for SETI with 11.12 or 12.1
But I think windows is smoother with 11.12 though.... Win Vista 32-bit
