**THE AMD DRIVERS THREAD**

You'll be getting some bottlenecking in hitman i reckon shanks. I see it at 1440p ultra with any lower than x4 AA. I struggle to get 99% usage from both gpu's in the benchmark unless i have x8 AA. x4AA and its 90-99%.

EDIT

Running the cards at stock helps removing the bottleneck a fair bit i find.

Yer Hitman is a strange one I find, I mean for the performance hit I dont think it looks all that good. lol
They is a couple settings in there, that just kill the frame rate and make no real change to the IQ

I had serious reservations that Stu was on 12.10!

That's fair - I've done more stupid things before!

 

[Final8y]

That's my problem Matt - always living in the past!

You're right, they should all be 13's, I'll edit my post so it actually makes sense, cheers.

Well your Nick says it all really.

I tried Crysis in eyeinfinity last night and achieved 0FPS....it was an absolute lag fest. Switched back to one screen and I was hitting 40/50fps on the best settings, the last time I played the game I was getting over 100fps before the new drivers

I am on 13.2 so am trying ther latest beta in hope that it rectifies these issues.

Crossfire 7970's and 4770k

Don't forget to disable ULPS after you install 13.10.

 

[Andybtsn]

Sure, I have it disabled now.

 

[LtMatt]

Sure, I have it disabled now.

You need to disable it again after every new driver install btw.

 

[Andybtsn]

Yeah I expected that

This might not even fix the issue but I don't have issues with crossfire in any other game, strange.

 

[teppic]

13.2 to 13.10b should make quite a difference!

 

[Orangey]

I thought it sounded like you had run out of VRAM until I read the FPS difference between drivers.

 

[Footyslayer]

New beta?!!

Installing

Just fired up Crysis from Steam (haven't played it in a while and seem to have lost all my save games - huh) and tested at 5760x1080 8xAA with everything on "Very High". Was running about 50FPS while walking across the beach at the very start to the first 3 Koreans. Ran the GPU bench in the Bin32 folder and that reported averages of 40FPS.

This is on crossfired 7970's and a 2600k with the new 13.10 drivers (with ULPS still enabled as I like Zerocore) and Windows 7.

Odd why there's such a difference with the same GPUs and comparable CPUs.

 

[Andybtsn]

Hmmm, no different.

Crysis in single screen hitting about 50fps which was lower like I said and in Crossfire 5760x1080 it's just woeful, constant stuttering. I have ULPS disabled.

 

[shankly1985]

Isn't Crysis dual core only game? I sure I read while back you get better performance out of crysis 1 by disabling some of the cores.

 

[Andybtsn]

You might be right, these were my benchmarks on other games:

Tomb Raider 3 in EyeInfinity: Average 53.8 FPS
BD3 in EyeInfinity: Average of 79 FPS
Bioshock in EyeInfinity: Average of 85 FPS

I am still on 13.6 beta 2 atm, I Gave 13.8 a miss after all the problems I heard of. 13.10 beta any good?

So good George Foreman is trying to put his name on it.

Damnnnnnnnnnnn

 

[Phixsator]

Im having an issue with my second gpu not being throttled when idle but instead running at full speed on both core and mem. If i disable crossfire it goes away and returns to normal.

Happens with ULPS on and off using catalyst 13.10 beta. again so freaking close to a perfect driver.

EDIT: Apparently ULPS wasnt off when i thought it was and now that it is the problem has gone away. Seems that ULPS is still bugged.

13.10's seem a lot smoother in pretty much everything than 13.8-2 to me. Noticed a huge FPS boost in WoW too.
