Well the CCC 11.3 update does fix the insane flickering somewhat, but the flicker is still there, just not as "bright", but still just as "fast". I still get a headache after several minutes of playing when I'm in outdoors settings where there is alot of ambient lighting. I'm also getting the same framerate in crossfire mode as in single card mode. It's like the two cards are conflicting with eachother. I honestly dont know how this dual card configuration issue passed QA. It seems rooted in the supposedly "technically superior" cryengine 3 (affecting both SLI and Xfire configurations is just not acceptable). I'm starting to wish I had just waited to get this game at 75% off during a Steam holiday sale. At this rate, it seems like that is how long it will take to get this issue resolved (and add DX11 support w/, hopefully, HD textures along with full graphics settings control rather than "high, higher, highest...").
Anyway, I dont mean to complain, just frustrated that a game I spent good money on is unplayable due to a reason that should not have been able to pass QA.
In case it helps, I'm running 2x5770 cards in Xfire, 11.3 CCC, i5 2.8GHz, 8GB RAM.
