Radeon Pro Question.

[VulgarDisplay]

Any changes I make it RadeonPro do nothing. Does it not work with 12.11 Beta 8?

It's worked on every set of drivers I've used which includes all the 12.11 betas. If you could go into more detail of what you're trying to do for what games might make it easier to figure out what's going on.

 

[VulgarDisplay]

I've tried forcing Vsync, Dynamic Framerate control, Dynamic VSync, and setting an FPS limit. None of them work.

Globally or specific profiles? To have Global settings applied you have to save the changes by hitting a blue link towards the bottom of the screen.

Did that, and tried profiles. Doesn't seem to be working for me at least in BF3 which is all I've tried.

That's strange. I've only come across one game where it wouldn't apply my profile(but did enforce global settings) and that was The Old Republic. You might want to head over to the AMD Drivers section of Guru3D's forums and ask in the dedicated thread. JapAMD spends quite a bit of time answering questions.

It's working for me (12.11 Beta 11) on Skyrim...even via the Nexus Mod Manager launcher

Edit: WITH individual profiles

VD (heh), if your problem hasn't already been solved by asking over at Guru3D, what OS are you using?

 

[VulgarDisplay]

I'm on windows 7 64 bit. I'm wondering if I need to actually set up individual game profiles. I just need to research the issue a little more I only played with it for about 5 minutes before I went to bed the other day.

Make sure you have RadeonPro enabled while gaming and yes game profiles need to be registered in RadeonPro for it to take effect.

 

[VulgarDisplay]

I figured it out. If you don't launch BF3 through Origin first it won't take effect. If you launch just through battelog nothing hapens.

Can someone provide me a screenshot with that frame metering and FPS cap?

A screenshot of what? The settings?

 

[Lepton87]

A screenshot of what? The settings?

Yes, because I can't find those anywhere in the application.

 

[VulgarDisplay]

Make sure you are using the beta version, and then look in the advanced tab I believe. I'm at work and don't have it in front of me at the moment.

 

[Lepton87]

I can't find any newer version beta or otherwise than I already have, a link would help.

Hey have any of you actually managed to make this 'microstutter fix' work? I've just got a second 7970 but am finding the stutter annoying. Tried both the dynamic vsync and framerate limiter features, but either I'm not using them correctly or they're not what they're cracked up to be. Cheers

What game(s) are you experiencing this in?

 

[Black Octagon]

So far I've tried Skyrim and Deus Ex:HR. Skyrim, unsurprisingly, is by far the worst, but even in Deus Ex it bugs me. 120fps on 2 7970s at stock feels noticeably less smooth than 70fps on a single oc'd 7970.

I'm guessing you have a 120Hz monitor, so trying limiting the framerate to 118/119 or 121/122. For some reason, limiting to you exact refresh rate doesn't work as well as limiting it to 1 or 2 fps above or below it(at least in my experience with a single card). Some games will still have some stuttering resulting from something in their rendering engine, but hopefully this makes it a little more bearable.

 

[Black Octagon]

Thanks for that, interesting. I'll try 118/119 or 121/122fps then
(although before adding a second 7970, a frame cap of 120fps WAS working fine...)

Update: didn't work, and I'm officially sick of trying to fix microstutter. Selling at least one of these 7970s if not both and moving to NVIDIA next generation. Sad to say it, but this was a huge letdown

Sorry to hear you had this problem. I had it and I know just how you now feel. In order to get out of it I bought 680s but in the process dumped a lot of money on kit this year. That was a guilty spend for a bad choice I made. I often feel the reviewers didn't do their job right, I read the reviews but it wasn't until much later after release that tech report finally showed the problem. Now they won't test xfire with their method because SLI frame metering adjusts the delivery of frames.

I feel your pain, watch for those reports on microstutter in the next generation and don't buy until you know where a card stands. You care about 2 reviews, tech report and hardocp. They are really the only review sites that address your problem.

 

[Black Octagon]

Thanks. Tbh a single 7970 performed like dream all through 2012...but now I have a 120Hz 1440p monitor and need extra gpu grunt. Crossfire is giving me the framerates, but not the benefits that traditionally come with those frames
