Wow! Looks like a very significant update.

Installing right now, we'll see how it goes with triple crossfire.

Installed and confirmed to be working fine on Vista 64. :)

I had the same problem before

you might have to reset your monitor...

turn off the monitor, unplug the power cable from the monitor, then unplug the monitor from the video card...

then plug the power cable back in, plug it into the video card again, and turn on the monitor.

that might work.
