Thanks to widezu69 for finding the photos of the new R4 in of the chinese forums: DELL I'll try to keep this first post updated with all the info that we can find about R4.

Chassis allegedly stays the same until 2013... then there'll be a big overhaul, completely new design.

maybe its the driver from the beginning as it could cause probs in bond and half life too... You could try 12.1 or 12.2 Nando and SVL7 just posted them never seen that issue unless vsync is disabled... not sure bud. I think we need another m17x user to compare notes on driver versions i ran 6970m's great on latest whql 12.1 catalyst. You can try Radeon Pro and make profiles for each game that has issues and try various tweaks... its one kick butt program. One thing i can think of could be combo of vsync and crossfire render method... Ie scissor is one etc... id see if changing any of that helps.... ive seen some games not well made for crossfire do strange things and adjusting crossfire render method changed that for me.

Well... we've got a response... and a status update. Not actually what Ihoped for. Status is now "not planned", here's the post from "Dell David_V": Not exactly something I'd call great news... but we'll see what the future brings. Btw, here's the profile of "Dell David_V", taken from Ideastorm: Pricing Analyst for the European division of AW... I think I have to write to him sometime regarding the European pricing strategy, his analyzing is way off. I hope it's the same for his predictions regarding the screens in AW systems.

I'd be better at it. Plus there would be bongs involved (hmmmm, air bong made working with the force.... interesting).
