XFX ATI Radeon HD 5970 Black Edition 2048MB GDDR5

Doesnt look right to me mate,

im sure mine are near 100% on both cores in BC2, are those numbers out of afterburner? if not try that and see what the graph looks like
 
Does anyone else have tearing only when running Heaven and I also get a little on jane vanatage runs? I found disabiling tessolation is the cure, but I am not sure if known bug with Heaven or a problem with card. I have raised with XFX support just wondered if any of you are having similar problems.

When tessolation enabled I get the tearing badly running current latest drives no overclock. Overdrive switched off.
 
Yes there is something wrong.
I would install the lastest Bios into the card. Install Cat 10.2 then install that 300meg file and retest.
This is mine running the same game.

This is my usage after a 5min of BBC2 usage (the bit within the white lines)

Just reflashed both GPU's using the bios from the XFX site.

So you install Cat 10.2, then install 10.5beta over the top of it?

I will add that with my current setup that I only have a 620HX Corsair psu. If I did not have enough watts would the GPU's throttle back to compensate for the lack of juice (if that was the case). As I'm not overclocking the gfx card yet I was under the assumption that the card uses 300w on full load so I would have thought I have enough?
 
Ye sounds daft but works for me, all so just try running the over volt tool (just incase)

Also try heaven or some other tests.

The PSU will be fine I was running a 650 with no probs. 4.4ghz and 1090/1295 plus water pump and drives.

Combat,

Can you try the Heaven benchmark and see what that does? Not really sure about the powersupply.. I would have thought its enough though.

Sycho,

Seems fine for me, isnt microstutter more of a two card / xFire issue?

Never had a xFire system before though, so unless microStutter is really obvious it could be my eyes! :)

Still not sure if this is good or not.

With game profiles do you have to set them up for X-fire to work or should it just work automatically?

Well it looks good to me. 25k both GPU are running.I only get 30k with the OC. Time to try BFBC and see what happends.

Your temps look loads better.... looks like a drop of 10c Time to crank that puppy up:) No point paying for a BE and not useing it .

Xfire should just work.

I think it must be something to do with BBC2. Just had a 15min spell and it still does not really go over 60% on each gpu.

Is there anything I should know to get the most out of it?

Funny thing is I just played AvsP and both gpu cores were 99% maxed out each.

I just cant understand why BBC2 don't utilise them as much?
 
Might be a bug in the game, You could reinstall. Mine runs balls out on that game not looked at 1920x1080 but you would think it does. Have you set it all to Max?
Will do some tests in the morn for you .
 
How well do you guys run Metro 2033? was good to hear that no micro-stutter in them as dual-gpu cards used to encounter this seems not the case now.
