At least they've reproduced it which means its not faulty parts or user error :)

Yeah, took me two months and all the testing I could and still, I was still blaming myself and user error. I was so happy to hear from them yesterday.

I'm glad they reproduced it.

Thanks so much Matt, I was about to sell my cards to get some GTX 780ti but its really not what I want.

No worries. 5UB contacted me recently and said Warsam asked for my email to keep in contact. If i see any major issues propping up here i pass it along to get fixed. Glad to see its going to get this problem fixed. :)

Considering that was in the 'known issues' of the 14.1 drivers id say a fix is already underway and will come in a newer driver build.

Known issues? they talked about the performance not scaling as well on Tahiti and Pitcairn cards.

It was also acknowledged that there was some stuttering, the odd spike here and there.

Thats not what i'm experiencing, i'm getting 10 to 30 FPS on Mantle where i'm getting 45 to 75 on D3D, add to that the stuttering is so bad that it is literally a slide show, IE what i'm seeing on my screen is frames freezing and then jumping ahead continuously. not just in little parts of the game but constantly, the screen also goes black every few seconds, comes back after 2 seconds and stutters on at 10FPS before eventually the game crashes with a "Windows out of Memory" warning.

TBH i get no indication that AMD know some are having this problem to this extent, let alone taking it seriously.
Incidentally the only others i know who have it this bad are other 7870XT owners, 'Tahiti' GPU's with 2GB, not 3GB of vRam, Mantle does a lot of Memory mapping, if its recognising my GPU as a Tahiti GPU it may well be mapping for 3GB of vRam not knowing it only has two, this would explain the MASSIVE Memory leak i have in Mantle.

I just want to know that they acknowledge the problem, know what the problem is, or are working on finding out.

Just do some bug reports, they will acknowledge your issues for sure. Doing so in GOOD details will help them solve the issue much better.

I do around 3 or 5 for the same issues each time I find a bug.

More updates from Warsam71 ;)

Hello Karl,



I just received an email from the guys in Customer Service which have been working on the issue with Engineering.



They have identified the issue and are working on a solution which will be included in an upcoming driver release. To be perfectly honest with you we don’t know when this new driver will be released yet; but I will definitely let you know as soon as I find out.



Best,

Sam T.

Thank you very much :D , I hope it will take a month or less for a fix. :)
 
Yeah, I am very happy, I feel bad not to have created a thread earlier, I fought for a month and a half with that issue trying to troubleshoot it and figure if it's user error or driver fault

Its the best way to get a bug fixed. Send a detailed report so they can replicate it. Providing a video (if applicable) can help as well. Its easy to sit on a forum and moan that achieves absolutely nothing.
 
14.2 beta 3 doesn't fix the issue.

AMD support (Engineering) doesn't seem to have found a fix yet because they asked me if I tried other adapters.

Bought those cards on release date, they were all tested and running on water by the first week of November. It now been 4 months since release that I cannot use my cards like I intended to.

I'm still optimistic though ... but I miss triple monitor :(
