I'm amazed at the choppy sound issue with crossfire. How can they release drivers in such a poor state?

It's almost amusing really. 9.2 fixes it for the most part, but still, pull your finger out ay

Not something I have ever had?? You happen to use SSD for Intel Smart Response?

If so you might be getting DPC Latency issue.

It does. I've reported the issue to amd, but you should as well. Check the links in my sig. Currently it affects all drivers after 13.11 Beta 9.2 as far as i know. So use Beta 13.11 9.2 if you need it fixed asap. Will let you know tonight or tomorrow if its fixed in 14.2.

Thanks. I'm on that beta driver at the moment, and everything is just peachy. But how can a man with crossfire 290s resist the allure of seeing how buttery smooth BF4 Mantle could be?

I have previously seen an AMD rep acknowledge the problem and say they're working on a fix, but I'm fairly sure that statement came well before 14.1 so I don't have high hopes for 14.2.

I'll report it on your link.

Good man.

I wish they'd release the drivers now. I can't stand having to wait until the evening. Hopefully they get leaked a few hours early on Guru3D.
 
I have been rock solid with the 14.1 drivers, so I am looking forward to these. Looking forward to thief as well. Wonder how good the new audio is :)

After wait till March early, March for Mantle and TrueAudio :(

I'll only run a Bench on DirectX and not play the game till this Patch. No point I want the best Experience and will not be completing it two right after each other.

Re the Vsync bug, posted by our AMD Rep WarSam on HardOCP.

Hello everyone,

First, I'd like to apologize to you for not being more responsive. I've been traveling for work, and with the recent launch of Kaveri, Mantle, Catalyst 14.1 Beta, and few other projects there haven't been enough hours in the day - I hope you understand.

I wanted to let you know I just exchanged a few emails with my team about this issue, specifically with the guys in customer support which work very closely with the engineering team. They are aware of this issue and will keep me in the loop on any progress they make. In turn, I will update you as soon as I hear anything from them.

By the way, please use our Issue Reporting Form (best way to provide us your feedback):
1. Catalyst 13.12 - http://www.amdsurveys.com/se.ashx?s=5A1E27D25AD12B4F
2. Catalyst 14.1 Beta - http://www.amdsurveys.com/se.ashx?s=5A1E27D25AD12B21

Thank you all for your patience and for this post.

That was posted on the 19th of Feb. I let him know about it sometime before that and directed him to various threads (including that HardOCP one) on various forums about the issue. They're aware of it so i expect a fix is not far away. Incidentally its looking unlikely it will be fixed in 14.2.

Nah, shankly sorted my frustration a week after 14.1 beta with a link to guru3D for a working Minecraft fix.

Been rocking BF4 Mantle since.:D

LtMatt said:
Maybe. I only had the 14.1 Beta's installed for 30 minutes then i went back to rock solid 13.12 WHQL. :p

Shankly never got his 290's until well after your 30 mins of frustration, BF4's been patched at least twice since the Mantle patch-could have been working for all you know is all I'm saying.:p

True, but i did try it after the (first and second) patch, still didn't work. Though it did work longer than it did previously. Before it would lock up immediately, after the patch it locked up after 15-30 seconds. :p

Nonetheless now can't wait to try the new drivers. Hoping i never have to experience Siege of Shanghai on dx11 ever again. :cool:
