You could DSR the high voltage card?

shankly1985 · 5 Sep 2013 at 19:47

Why is it both my cards run around the same voltage? When the stick voltage is completely different.

Known Issues of The AMD Catalyst 13.8 Beta2 Driver for Windows:

CrossFire configurations (when used in combination with Overdrive) can result in the secondary GPU usage running at 99%

I have this since the new drivers have been installed, however regarding the cards temps it's definitely not running at 99%.

Is there a workaround fix to this?

Disable ULPS. Or use the new beta's below.

Great work chaps. These new beta's sound exciting. More improvements to frame pacing.

I might have to benchmark these.

Who's got a spare copy of Metro Last Night?

EDIT

Just to say the new Beta's 13.10 installed perfectly. No errors, problems or workarounds needed this time unlike with 13.8 beta 2. Looking good thus far.

pgi947 · 6 Sep 2013 at 07:28

Will update op this evening once my new haswell setup is installed

13.10 beta and driver utility windows 8 update the only things to change?

LtMatt · 6 Sep 2013 at 07:34

Yes think thats it PG.

Zeed · 6 Sep 2013 at 08:00

The 13.10s are much better for my setup.. Temps are nice and good and they work right out the gate without disabling ULPS.

Side point, are you seeing much benefit in games since you increased the CPU overclock?

Yes quiet a bit actually. BF3 is running so much better. It never do any of the sudden dips it just trucks a long at a steady 64ish fps or higher everything maxed @1080p. One exception is the B2K maps but they are horrible in general so i dont count them as i never play them anyway.

EDIT:
Catalyst 13.10 beta
Valley Benchmark extreme HD preset @1080p
ULPS Enable 2645 score
ULPS Disable 2645 score how i dont know

Just bought metro last light for £10. Will add that to my soon to be published 13.10 benches. Running stock 925/1250 and overclocked 1125/1600.

I've not seen much about OC'd 8350s with Crossfired cards so I find it interesting to know how it performs.
