Post #2 does say that. Anyways, that's interesting news. Could you link a source that AMD latency is lower now so I can take the plunge with confidence!

Come on. It said it was a problem in only a couple of specific titles. I've played more than two games where it was a problem. It was a problem in virtually every game I played. Either I'm the most unlucky person in the world or it was a widespread problem and not just restricted to a couple of titles.
we were talking about post 2, not LtMatt. Are you in politics?
I think the reports did in fact report widespread latency problems for AMD, and that was my experience. If you didn't experience that, that's fine, but as per post 1 I was looking for feedback from people who did have similar experiences.

Pff. When I'm talking about what post 2 said, it's appropriate to say 'it', since the post has no gender. When I'm talking about what LtMatt said, I should say 'he' - unless LtMatt is a she of course.
Bit off topic now.
Just as an example,
http://www.techpowerup.com/178129/amd-to-fix-gcn-latency-issues-with-driver-updates.html
AMD seem to be acknowledging a widespread lack of optimisation in their approach to latency. In other reports, they've said that they never focussed on latency issues because they assumed that the stuttering wasn't caused by their hardware - which they've now discovered is incorrect. AMD themselves present it as something that is general, and that they are still working on, not something that was highly specific and fixed with a new driver ages ago. So I don't know why people are trying to dismiss it in that way.
"single gpu better than nvidia." he wrote...It is? When did they sort that out?
My GTX690 feels/looks smoother than the single 7970 i had let alone crossfired with another.
Thanks for that response. I'm thinking about giving a 7850 2GB I got in a go rather than just selling it on now. Perplexed as to why an aftermarket tool can provide a fix so easily but AMD doesn't provide it themselves by default.
