This is a single 7950 at 1150Mhz core....

Stock 290X
3970X @4.8
Did you run that with TrSSAA enabled in CCC?
And our minimum frame rate is identical!!
I did not change anything in CCC

Dude you're ruining your games!!!
Go into CCC and set Anti-Aliasing Method to 'Adaptive'
No one seems to run with that turned on, it's scary!!
That will force transparency super sample anti-aliasing on all transparent objects like chain links fences, grass, tree's.... You get the point.
Performance cost is next to nothing too.
The difference it makes to Crysis 1 is unreal.... Go ahead and try it

The game is so CPU limited!! AMD cards don't support 16xAA though which is why the frame rates are the same as x8

I was about to say I used to enable adaptive or SSAA via RadeonPro to make it look far better, but I see that's covered

What CPU you have? Do you have the AF set to nothing from CCC?
Because with the FX8350@5Ghz on a single 7950 at 1150mhz, with
Filter Standard, Adaptive multisampling, AF 16x,Texture Filtering on High Quality and vsync off I get this.
(maybe is the Enhanced mod?)
Only if I activate the second 7950 I go higher.

Do you still have those Titans spare then now
Unfortunately they are still needed and won't be going anywhere for a while.
I may turn them lose on a 4K monitor one day for a bit of fun as they have 6gb of vram.

That's because you're CPU limited...
I had AF set to x16 and the mod that allows AF+POM to work at the same time
How's possible to be CPU limited with an FX8350 at 5Ghz?
We talk here 30% difference, and even if you got a 3970X @4.8 like Kaapstad you need better graphic card than a single 7950.
You do run a 2 7950 MSI twin frozr setup with a 2600K, are you sure you turned one 7950 off?

Because your cores are way slower per clock, and it's only using 2 cores.
I don't know what CPU Almighty is using, but if it's a Sandy against your FX8350, there's probably over 30% difference in IPC.

That was run before I went crossfire..... And it was with a 2500k clocked at 4.6Ghz.
Your cores are just a lot slower then mine, to match my 2500k's per core performance you would have to clock your FX north of 6Ghz.
