You dont need xfire to play Skyrim. Its a cpu dependant game.

From the last few games I've bought, lets check did CFX worked out of the box:-

Battlefield 3 : NO

Was working for me on launch day, must not have had the proper cap installed.

What drivers and CAP you using and settings. As when ever I got eyefinity I get the dx error out of memory. And tells me I need a card with more vram than 512mb. lol

1 screen 1920x1080 runs fine.

I'll try it again now. Last night I couldn't get aero back at all, having to reboot in the end.

Well ?

I'll have to check when im on the pc later, pretty sure I'm still using the preview driver version 3.

Installed 11.11 no change here, not gonna try the CAPs they don't seem to agree with my rig

EDIT: Got some stuttering so installed CAP 2 and its gone now... so I'm back to the same performance in all my games when I had 11.10 Pre 3 installed

put the 11.11 with cap 2 on and BF3 is now silky smooth. turned off HT in the bios too so not sure how much that has done as had it on previously. Got a feeling that the latter has had more of an effect.

Skyrim is still knackered but using the modded dll and exe renamed so the performance on that varies. really smooth sometimes then but stuttery in others

11.11 with CAP2's seem to be marginally better than the 11.10's with CAP4's. In BF3 anyway

Ezyryder · 21 Nov 2011 at 12:44

cheers for feedback will install 11.11 with CAP2's tonight.

did you install the CAPs 2 for this driver?

Damien. · 21 Nov 2011 at 13:42

CAP2's ruined BF3 for me.

I am sure they didn't. I am sure there is user error.

Did you uninstall every single AMD driver from your computer?

I have used nothing but AMD for the past 5 years. With the greatest respect, I know how to install their drivers.

not trying to insult you but are you using windows 7 64 bit? If so check for older Application profiles that might be left there. These are a pain to uninstall as you have to uninstall the drivers first if not they cause a BSOD.

In any case, its good news for me that your drivers aren't working well - you were pwning my arse the other day in the Smogsy server! (my origin name is gabriel959)

Done all of that yes.

The 11.11 driver itself is perfect. Its the CAP2 that has reintroduced stuttering. Reverting back to CAP1 soon fixed it. Could be anything really but for now I am happy with the CAP1's.

Will add you on origin too!

Ok, will see you guys weds - should be on mumble too :-)
