thanks asder00

[JonasBeckman]

I keep these up to date, doesn't hurt to have them installed even if most fixes are Crossfire related, wonder if there's something else in these that's just not listed?
(Probably, Kn00t - I think I got the name right - has a site that more or less shows just this so I'll have to check that in a few days, always interesting to see what they're doing or working with.)

EDIT: Excellent, that also bodes well for future driver releases.

Thanks!

Cannot see there a darksiders2

Good news for GW2..

Edit: CFX performance look good now even with SuperSampling enabled:
90 - 100+ fps all maxed in town, and smooth in fight ( had no fraps launched so i was not keep the settings panel open )

( huum i will surely not enable Supersampling in PvP anyway

Usage on both gpu 85-100% ..

[Caenyss]

I tested GW2, I don't see any increase on FPS but the game seems smoother when playing with lower FPS.

[Scout]

works for gw2, same performance I was having with afr mode but without the random flickering

[BenchAndGames]

And what happaning with Cap 1 12.8 ??? xDDDD

Thanks. Nice to sse this. Played in Hitman Absolution Sniper Chalenge without this cap and performance was terrible. Hope we'll get new profiles until new games will be released

Such profiles are not available inside the CAP. I do not know what you are talking about.

I have fixed that for you.

[kn00tcn]

they are in the 55.blb, i always wonder what that one is ever since it appeared a few months ago, it's always larger

maybe it's a test CAP that internal beta drivers load, then when they're satisfied, they put the profiles into the regular .blb

Same fps on gw2, no real improvement... 5870 crossfire...

[No_LiMiT]

Been waiting for this, thanks!

[mikeysg]

Thanks asder!

[Night Walker]

Gonna try it tonight, when my second 7950 gets home.

BTW on the download page there are two typos, it says Guide Wars 2 and not Guild Wars 2 and the Hawken line is next to Torchlight2 one.

[psychok9]

GW2 improved performance for CF system only?

[kn00tcn]

it's a CAP, easy to install, easy to revert, you should just try it (but maybe not expect much single card boosts, if any)

[elpsychodiablo]

Guildwars 2
Without Cap
Outdoor 40-60 fps still lag
WvWvW 12-17 fps
With Cap
Outdoor 22-30 fps
WvWvW 7-10 fps

AMD should really throw out the bunch of idiots what they call worker or engineers and search some people who understand their jobs.

Maybe you need an upgrade? What are your settings?

How will an upgrade affect worse FPS with cap installed than without

[JonasBeckman]

I wouldn't know but I always assumed the code differed or branched for different hardware so scaling is thus different for the 5000 series than it is for the 7000 series albeit it probably isn't changed by much and it's down to actual hardware efficiency and the core drivers instead of these little software profile packs to further improve performance.

[Deckard]

just to report getting microstuttering in BF3 with this CAP and less than 99% usage its down to 80% ingame, going back to previous CAP
