The AMD Driver Thread

Unfortunately GTA V is quite heavy on the cpu and you will see a benefit from using an 8 Core/8 Threaded cpu, especially once you introduce more than one gpu. As such, CrossFire will never perform optimally when the second gpu is being partially held up.

I have a 3770K and a a pair of 280x/7970s and the CPU maxxes out in GTA5 so I think you're out of luck unfortunately.

Would a 2600k do it or would it need to be even faster than that?

Reading patch notes I guess I shouldn't expect any improvements for those who have laptop mobile GPU such as 7970m?

Shame, project cars really does struggle at times for me, oh well.

Witcher crossfire drivers are holding up well. Very smooth with the optimisations suggested. Could use a little AA, but all good at the moment. Holding up well on the 295x2

Good to hear.

I've turned off AA in game, as I was using a sweetfx profile but im still getting shimmering/flickering slightly on my 7990's in CrossfireX. Do I have to setup the custom witcher 3 profile, if so what crossfire mode?

I'm running a 2600k and gta v is all good with me.

Now thanks to these drivers I can start witcher 3. Works out perfect as the other half has all her girls over tomorrow night!

Can you show me a screenshot of the settings you're using in Afterburner please?

These are my settings

LtMatt · 29 May 2015 at 14:45

Does the stuttering occur if afterburner is not running but CCC is?

Can't think of any logical reason why CCC would cause stutter, so my guess is something else is causing it.

Geeman1979 · 29 May 2015 at 14:46

More VSR options added with these new drivers?

If not, then i'll pass.

Then you should consider yourself lucky. I and many other 280x Xfire owners suffer from dismal GPU usage (60% or so) with horrific stuttering and occasional artifacting. My CPU (sig) should not be a problem.

U need an i7 for crossfire to make full use of the 2nd card.

I5 for single gpu i7 for multi.

I get 100% usage on both my 290x's

My stutter comes back with ab running graphs btw.

Dont think the new drivers like monitoring software.

Not in these drivers, however.

AMDMatt said:
We’re working on expanding VSR support so that more AMD users can take advantage of this popular feature. Once it’s ready we’ll be sure to let our customers know. Stay tuned!

What is your monitoring time set to in Afterburner? I use 2000.

How many graphs have you got running?

I use afterburner to set the speed etc on startup then close it, or if I close CCC and leave afterburner running and it's fine, it's not bad or a big issue or on every game, CS GO is a major one,so can put up with it but might try the new drivers without CCC and see what happens.

CaptainRAVE · 29 May 2015 at 14:52

The flickering in the witcher seems to come and go - annoying when it is there though. Think I might wait for the next driver - still lots to do in GTAV

Good man, get pushing them. I tend to run both vendors so want as much flexibility as I can get.

Same as urs from the post u linked.

Gpu 1 and 2 temps, usage and vrm temps

Are you using another program in the background to monitor the VRM temperatures in AB? Remember someone having stuttering when GPUz is running.

Will this include GCN 1.0 GPUs?

yeh was me gpu-z causes stutter. noticed last night when i have AB running was causing a bit of stutter. nowhere near as much as gpu-z though
