whenever i play crysis 3 either on single card or crossfire the game is very stuttery, even when afterburner is registering between 70-110fps. doesnt matter if i choose highest settings or the very lowest exact same scenario.

cards in question are powercolor 280x in crossfire with a 4670k clocked at 4.4. worst part is my sons amd 6300 and 7850 plays the games 100% smoother, both on the latest 14.4 whql drivers
 
i never used vsync even on my tv as i found it dipped quite low. i shall check frame pacing in a min see if thats enabled. i dont have flip queue whatever as i dont have radeonpro installled. i know its not the cards as i get constant 99%usage in valley bench, bf4 etc etc
 
u mean in crysis 3, doesnt matter if i choose the max settings or the very lowest i still get the exact same problem. quickly turn around and fps can drop from say 90 down to 15 then back up. i shoot someone or an explosion and same thing happens again. really frustrating now seems every time i try to play a new game i have to sit for days with endless amounts of problems before they possibly work properly

Try 13.12 WHQL and see if its better.

Might be worth trying to repair the game files via origin as well.

i was actually going to delete the game then re install it but i dont think i will have enough time to download it before gy comes at 6 tonight tho.

am i right in thinking that bf4 and crysis 3 are 2 of the most demanding pc games at the moment

Uninstall drivers, restart. Run DDU. Restart. Reinstall new drivers. If that does not work, bite the bullet and reinstall OS.

im not bothered if the game works as im unlikely to play it if i have the pc long enough i only double checked it when guy coming out this eve asked if he could see crysis 3 and bf4 running. i shall quickly re install drivers once the game has repaired itself
 
just started it up on the reach the northyard railway, went up the 3 sets of stairs fps sitting at 178fps the minute i enter the balcony at the top fps drop to 38 and stuttering away like mad eventually evens out at about 88-89 fps which im assuming should be ilky smooth but it most defo aint

lol.. right this guys been in for last 10 mins or so messing about with the pc. is there any possible way i could have frazzled or knackered the gpus at all or are gfx cards either working or non working?? bearing in mind crysis 3 is only issues ive had lately and everything else works fine.

reason im asking is guys claiming either 1 or both gpus are knackered, which aint a problem as they both under month old, but i honestly dont know that much about pc tech and think pcs and gaming aint for me and should just bite the bullet and get rid of the pc at a massive loss and swich back to console gaming.

He's trying it on to get a discount :rolleyes:

If it works fine with other games, then they're not knackered.
