Little update.
The SSAO+IL seems not to work on dual chip cards and crossfire setups. Only very few users were lucky enough to get it working with crossfire or dual chip card. After testing it on other rig, the dual chip cards were getting 3fps again, strangely 5850 was affected too. Otherwise again the numbers were almost same as when i tested it at home. It was tested on both 720p and 1080p and again, the scaling was terrible- over 60% fps loose on 1080p.
And now, there are new drivers- 12.3 (modded for all cards).
I didn't have much time, but after installation it screwed the skyrim, forcing it to run on lowest settings (including resolution) no matter the settings or ccc profile. I will take a look at it in the weekend. Too bad they will now focus on 7xxx series mostly.
But atleast they gave me hope that they are making progress occasionally...
@rhinohorn
I will again (and for last time) retest the 5870 on two rigs (i3@4.2GHz and Phenom II x2@4.2GHz, check the skyrim cpu scaling i posted above to understand why i choose dual cores...) and i will also try different .ini tweaks and ccc profiles and enb versions. I really have no idea what could cause it, but 5870 was running nice on both rigs...guess i am just lucky. Also the numbers on 1080p were lower, depending on what was bottleneck- cpu or graphic. On 5870, 1080p i was getting over 45fps avg. You can send me your .ini and enb so i can try it...but i doubt it will make any difference...BTW definately go for greenies if you don't mind the performance/price ratio, their drivers are just better (on amd i still can't run rage half year after release...)
EDIT:
Fast update: Confirmed, the scaling is just so terrible that you won't run it on 1080p. You either give up the resolution (i still can't understand why someone prefers resolution over SSAO+IL, but Suum cuique...) or SSAO...Framerates were less than 30fps (23avg) with just quick test. 1600x900 is best compromise - 47 avg. , guess there will be no more improvements on this from AMD side...Also when i find out how that paypal works i am gonna donate Boris for his great work (and to get an AMD card
) Wish i could have helped somehow...
Also i don't want to make another topic about this...
Boris, could you please make the flow-based water shader like this:

I don't want to be rude but you are like a guru in graphic programming so it should be easy enough for you
...i just hate the way the water flows now, it's just so * when you enjoy the enb environment and suddenly you see the water flowing from one side of river to another...
