Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I'd also like to recommend some settings that REALLY maximize performance/smoothness (some of this is noob)
Registry Setting
-Disable ULPS
CCC Settings
-Power Control +%20
-AFR Friendly
Radeon Pro (Global Config)
-Flip Queue Size 0
Game Specific Config
-Pre Rendered Frames 0
-Triple...
fuck that. Im telling you now. And you will find out soon, lightboost and frame pacing WORK VERY WELL ON AMD.
The 7970 is already a proven top card. Now it's a PROVEN top card with amazing crossfire and lightboost.
What stats are you waiting for?
yea i realize i'm a little too enthusiastic...
exactly. I was talking brand new...
My 2700K 5GHz bottlenecks the shit out of these 7970's @ 120Hz.. I can't see upgrading these cards for a WHILE..
Good old fucking Canadian ATi BACK ON TOP. *dusts off 9800pro and places on mantel*
Can we all agree? Now that AMD has lightboost & framepacing & how those were the only two downsides to AMD 2 months ago (no lightboost, microstutter)...
That AMD is the undisputed king of GPU's currently?
two 7970's for like $800? yep
ITS WORKING PERFECTLY NOW!
changed nothing./.. restarted twice and its perfect now. yea..
you can REALLY notice the animation/panning smoothness. no tearing.
early results with 13.8 in BF3
getting MUCH MUCH higher gpu usage, especially on primary 7970.
getting MUCH higher usage on primary 7970 (%90 / %50) which NEVER happened before.
getting lower fps.
something is wrong.
ulps is disabled. power control is %20... im doing everything right...
im running two 7970s on a 2700K @5GHz...
ulps disabled, power control +%20, AFR friendly crossfire, flip queue size 0 and 0 pre rendered frames in BF3 and I get NO microstutter.
now, with lightboost and this frame pacing driver, AMD is seriously looking like the pound for pound king...
