No issues here. 2x 4870x2 as well, 8GB DDR 2 PC2-8500 of "crappy corsair" (Corsair is not "crap" by any stretch) and an ASUS Maximus Formula motherboard.

Calm down no reason the blame the drivers right away, slow down and lets go thru this nice and slow. First, what error is the BSOD giving you? Have you checked if any overclocks you have are truely stable? Many reasons for BSODs. Have you tried drivercleaner and then install an older version of CCC?

Let us know.

Depends which sticks you got from corsair. Its surprising, only the PC industry is imune from misadvertising? misleading reports? price fixing?

Thanks for the heads up. I'm running a 4870 on Vista64. I'll keep 8.10 for now.

Can't say I've noticed this. Running a 4870 1GB on Vista x64 with Cat 8.11 with no problems. There's no real performance improvement over 8.10 though so anybody worried about this issue won't be losing out.

What ever you do don't install over your old drivers because I had to do a system restore because all I got was a black screen but you can install them after you completely remove the old drivers.

Working great for me. I completely uninstalled the previous drivers including using driversweeper in safe mode. Rebooted with two 4850's intalled, installed the 8.11's and voila! trouble free Crossfire.
