I doubt that.
What resolution? Lowering draw distance seems to help i found. I play with vsync on and can barely notice the drop, i think it's just the game.
That's odd it said R9 290 on afterburner, well i guess that explains your stock clocks then.
Try with my settings but lowering the quality down to very high or even high. Using Vsync with Triple Buffering seems to be key in this game. Not sure what else to suggest as it plays fine for me I'm afraid.
I'm getting decent FPS and crossfire seems to be working pretty well, even with my 8320. Have the occasional dip down to around 45 FPS.
These are my settings, any improvements you can suggest Matt?
Looks good to me benny. You can try enabling fur as that is not GameWorks, it's the option after fur that is.
I expect if you change one of those ultra's to high you might get 60fps solid. Of course if you don't mind the drop then leave it as it is.
Good fps from a 280 Crossfire setup considering the notorious issues with this game.
EDIT
Try with Vsync enabled and Triple Buffering on.
MSAA is bugged in the game last time i checked, but you can try it.
How did Vsync and Triple Buffering work? TB is in advanced settings.
If you enable a GW option it flashes up on screen i think. I think it's HBAO+, Fur+ and enhanced godrays.
Erm, not sure what it is. It's quite high i think, 100 maybe?
I've not tried it with vsync off, but i will next time. I prefer having vsync on personally.
HT is enabled, but as with most games they perform marginally faster with it off. (Mantle games aside as they use the threads)
Ugh, maybe I've got that number wrong I'll have to check next time i load the game up.
This is my personal opinion, but I wouldn't expect to see any monitor makers offering firmware upgrades.
Ok, I'll see what i can come up with.
Swwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!! Never has FC4 played so well! I originally beat the game just using single gpu with a couple settings turned down and averaging around 50ish fps @ 1440p... now it just sits at my refresh with vsync on (96hz) with no dips. I'm seriously impressed! I only get about 52% out of my gpu's (3) but that could just be the vsync lock. Only every once in a while will I get a little hitch and it's always after I've been driving a long way, but man if the game launched like this I would have pooped a brick. SO HAPPY!
Now time to fight some Yetti's!!!
Good to hear.
This game seems to really benefit from using Vsync and Triple Buffering, playing very smoothly here as well using the same settings.
What in game settings are you using, got a screenshot?
Infact, just copy my settings as that works flawlessly for me. Bugged AA disabled and all GameWorks effects off.
Right, this works smooth as a babies bottom locked at 60 FPS with 2x290X 8GB running underclocked at 1000/1250, stock is 1010/1375Mhz for these cards.
Copy my settings and see how it works for you. Run your gpu's at stock for now as i see you've overclocked.
That was using 2x290X cards with two disabled, 60 fps locked stable and smooth.
That was on anything from high to ultra (without any gameworks settings), and custom with enabled vs and tb.
The problem was barely noticeable at high, but there.
Like I said, enabling vs and tb is likely just masking the issue - how does it run for you with those disabled?
I used to have a similar issue with BF4 - and managed to mask it with vsync. Didn't mean it wasnt still a problem then.
BF4 for what its worth, runs like butter these days. But then, it is a year and a half old now
People have to tweak settings to get smooth single gpu performance, so it's not surprise that the same is required when you throw another gpu into the mix.
It works perfectly with Vsync and Triple Buffering on so that's how i play it.
Same here.
You can always try setting a fps cap of 59/60 in afterburner, that can smooth games out a bit.
Run all your games on whatever setting works best for you.
This game runs smoother for me with Vsync and Triple buffering enabled whether i use one, two, three or four gpus.
Mind informing eyetrip of your revelation in the TitanX thread regarding Farcry 4?
Not snarky, I'm unable to post in that thread as per the forum/vendor rep rules.
Not a fan of that effect at all and wish you could disable it.
Even turning it off using The Dying Light manager mod tool does not properly get rid of it.

Alien Isolation is a shining example of how you optimise a game to run perfectly on all hardware. Was a pleasure to play that game and did not encounter any issues on day 1.
Scary as hell!
Haha. My girlfriend kept laughing at me as I'd jump out of my skin and as i was wearing headphones, she could not hear anything other than me gasping for breath.
If anyone plays it again, make sure you use the modified improved image quality settings here and enable HDAO+ (AMD's version of HBAO+) in the video options before starting. Looked wonderful at 4k.
