have the latest drivers fixed micro stuttering?

[SnG24/7]

Hi, I have a single radeon 6850 and I'm wondering if i should crossfire them to increase performance. My biggest concern is that numerous people have reported instances of micro stuttering in the games they play when they crossfire. I want to know if micro stuttering is still a major problem as of today, and specifically for a pair of 6850s. Anyone with the latest drivers using this GPU please feel free to chime in! I will be playing blizzard titles and maybe some BF3 in the future but i need to know this setup will work.

Thanks!

4 gb 1333 ram
Cooler Master 650W PSU

You might consider selling the 6850 while it's still worth something and get a 7850. Single GPU is always a better way to go, unless you need multiple top end cards to drive your gaming. 1gig of vram is becoming quickly obsolete. At least if you use AA.

No they haven't fixed the microstutter, its worse today than it was 3 years ago.

single card is better route to go.

How so? If anything it is better today due to frame metering (hardware and software), at least on Nvidia side. I don't believe there was any change on AMDs part, positive or negative.

Microstuttering is unfixable with AFR.

Also get a single GPU card. Then you also avoid missing SLI/CF profiles and so on.

ok, looks like i will steer away from the crossfire route, thanks for clearing this up for me. For additional information, i will be gaming on a 1080p 23 inch display. Is the 7850 the best bang for the buck card for that resolution at high/ ultra settings? Thanks.

I have two 7970's on the 12.7 beta's

I rarely see microstutter. To each there own I guess.
