Theres an even newer, 11.10 Version 3 Preview driver set out:

According to AMD this (the v3) is pretty much the same as the final WHQL driver due for release on the 31st will be. Haven't used the v3 with BF3 yet, but been running it a couple of days with no problems.

Supposed fix for CG stuttering.

Supposedly if still get stutter on game load a quick alt+tab out and back in fixes it.
