Hope that means what I think it does.

Yes it does. I will be doing some 7990 benchmarks soon.

Hi, try this reinstall DX again -

Go to the BF4 folder in .\origin games\Battlefield 4\ Open ._Installer\directx\redist Right click on DXSETUP.exe and click "Run as Administrator" What this does is install the DirectX libraries that were copied to your hard drive but never installed that are needed for DirectX to properly process the game code.

This also helps some players who crash while playing.

Thanks this worked... for now. :cool:

Crossfire's (flickering etc) still borked tho!!

Hi Lt, just out of interest does throttling effect all AMD 7990's which effects performance.

Using the stock 7990 bios the card will throttle under moderate load forcing the card into its non boost state.

Thanks,

Olphart.

It does indeed, though it can affect some worse than others depending on the Asic. Lower Asic = more power usage = more watts pulled = higher TDP = more throttling. I will post up some figures later of stock bios vs my bios in the 7990 bios flashing thread.

Thank you Lt, for quick reply.

I could be wrong have a read of this thread, if you don't mind -Is It worth upgrading i7 950 @ 4.2ghz to a i7 4770k?

If his GPU was throttling effecting performance BF3/4, making him think his CPU was not up to the job, as he's using a 7990.

How would he check for throttling?

As l say l could be wrong, lol.

To get the most from his card it would be worth it. However once Mantle arrives he could probably run his old i7 CPU at 2ghz or lower and not be bottlenecked any more, thanks to Mantle. However for other non mantle games it will definitely be worth it. He's probably missing out on about 10-25% performance at the moment in cpu bottlenecked situations.

Thanks yet again, you learn something new everyday in the forums.

Cheers,

Although his i7 won't bottleneck on the core/thread front on BF3/BF4 currently, it will on the IPC front where Haswell/Ivy/Sandy is a fair bit faster.

Hm, found a map where a single 670 doesn't cut it. Guilin Peaks

I prefer hardcore.

Re-installed BF3 last night, still find it fun, BF4 wont be loaded til they sort the flickering.

thefogo · 18 Dec 2013 at 18:54

It just promotes camping IMO.

Hear hear. Have a hug brother and join the people who can aim and track in "softcore"

.

I despise hardcore but I've said that about 3 times in this thread so I'm repeating myself like a crazed old fool. I normally leave that role to Gregster to adopt.

thefogo · 18 Dec 2013 at 19:03

BF3 barely looks worse than BF4. I can't get used to it though

Haven't play it in months.

ashmanuk67 · 18 Dec 2013 at 22:14

just done the big update and that flickering is just damn frustrating :mad:

how bad does this game have to get???????

But on a good point i disabled SLI and those new maps do pull some high FPS on a single card :eek:

but those small maps are bloody bad getting shot from every corner, small maps pifffff

Cant play tonight at all. Bit stormy here and the power keeps going off.

X-Fire flickering patch has been released, along with another few fixes and a new server patch.

DICE really do seem determined to sort out all these problems, i can't remember a game with so many patches in such a short time.

Can't wait to fire up the 7970s when i get home
