There is a NVIDIA Focus Group Member running around claiming that the AMD Catalyst 12.11 gains are at the expense of smoothness and that's for Single GPU as well.

If it is a small consilation, I get the same with SLI 680's. With settings turned down, it is ok but still suffering with micro stutter and the very occasional 1 second freeze. Not a game breaker but not good either.
Maybe it is the actual game? My frames are between 70 - 90 and I shouldn't be seeing this stutter.

Actually just been reading similar comments from a guy with a pair of 670's, would appear the game is broken rather then drivers
It runs 'ok' in single card, though with some settings dumbed down, but even in single card I get the odd graphical defect.

Besides yourself who uses both AMD and NV cards regularly i have seen a great many more recently which own both AMD 7xxx, NV 6xx and they are also saying that its just not true but are being ignored by the pro NV.
I still use 301.42 for my GTX 690s which came out around the time of their launch. The reason I still use them is every driver update since for quad sli has been a downgrade and/or buggy as hell especially when installing. sadly nvidia has done squat for people who use quad sli.
Having said that my GTX 690s do run very smooth, sadly its on drivers that are 7 months out of date.
SO are the AMD drivers as 'smooth' as NVidia's now?
To those with stuttering, try un installing afterburner just to try. I found it gives me stuttering in skyrim even though frames were locked at 60. Un installed afterburner and overclocked with trixx and back to smoothness. I'm not saying it's a fix for far cry but it could be related, worth a try at least![]()
Since when? I've had both brand and to me AMD has much better colours and overall sharpness of the picture but when you get an FPS dip into the low 30's-40's it gets all juddery, with the Nvidia cards in the same scenario the game would feel a lot smoother however the colours and sharpness wasn't as good as the AMD cards but then again that's a trade off.

really? i was very disappointed when i got my 7970 and couldnt play s2tw. will give these a bash.
As for the stuttering try changing the "Hardware Polling Period" in Afterburner from 1000ms to something higher, worked for me on both my GTX 680 & 7970.
I'll have a look and adjust later, anyone manage to get osd to work with fc3?
Yeah works for me, didn't have to do anything to get it worked either.
