I am seriously wondering if upgrading to 390x is a smart move.
At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter how powerful your card is if it's not supported by game developers.

 

So is 10% improvement for single GPU what you get from this driver in the best case?

 

Looks like it.

 

Sweeet

Finally! r95x2, 1440p everything maxed, fps steady at 60fps post patch. GPU utilization at 100% . No flickering or crashes yet! Disabled aa out of game and i'm using sweetfx. Happy day

 

Crossfire scaling is fantastic as usual. Can hit 50FPS average at 4k now.
HOWEVER.
Frame times are a complete mess. It bounces around from 9ms to 37ms(!!!!) constantly, and is utterly unplayable.

Back to a single 290x and 1440p I guess.

 

9ms frametime with average of 50FPS? You can't be seeing 9ms very much 30ms is normal for around 30/40FPS.

 

Project CARS?

 

If it's average and have a fps variance from 4 to 120 it's possible....

 

Edited a little

 

Your "car" is fast than "mine" or is the reverse?

 

I dont see any one number much. It bounces around like crazy.

 

I have issues with The Witcher 3 and frametime with all drivers.

 

So no fix the stuttering?

 

Is posible that the root cause is something like in GTA V? some advanced settings, AA?

How is the GPU usage for you?

 

GPU usage with single GPU is maxed out.

 

Don't make me start you know the "solution" from the changelog.

 

I mean in CFX.

 

80/80 @ 75fps

 

With this usage how is the scaling over single GPU?

70-75% with same graphic settings?
