RadeonPro BETA (Automating 3D Settings)

ok fixed my issue with the dont allow api unless in my list profile box

 

Yep, I'm using Vsync with TB, not double sync. Double sync has the 30fps cap, and that's the feel I'm getting ingame. So I guess that TB is not enabled.

But really, with D3Doverrider works, so, I don't know where is the problem

 

In my PC Temporal AA is working flawlessly and the impact is shown in the FPS improvement when having it active or not... Maybe because my card is 1+ years old. Recommend: do not remove it but keep it disable as it is today. Up to the user to enable it or not... BTW, I'm using CFAA and highest game AA setting...

As for the latest version (bug Fix), I hate to be a "Party Pooper" but it did not solve the problems for my system configuration (ATI HD4850 2 Gb X2) but rather introduced a new issue.

My previous post http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?p=3726770#post3726770 explains how the xFire bars are not showing all 4 GPU working, but rather only oscillating in the bottom portion of the bars.

After installing v1.0.10.0, a new problem has been added where the bars show very small when games using the Cry engine are started (Aion, Farcry) at the top left corner of the screen as seen here:

Figure 1: Aion, small crossfire bars (top left corner)


Now, the bars show normal again upon return to game, after Alt-Tab from desktop. But strangely, the bars are fully functional (showing 4 GPU activity) and then go back to only oscillate in the bottom portion of their area (about 5 sec after returning to game from Desktop), better shown in the following two screenshots:

Figure 2: Inmediately after Alt-Tab back from Desktop


Figure 3: Roughly 5 sec passed after Alt-Tab back from Desktop


Same behavior occurs in other games, as shown next:

Figure 4: FarCry


Figure 5: StarCraft II


We might think, well, VSync might be the issue or the 4 GPU default to 2 once back to the game... Well this is not the case as VSync is off and all 4 GPU are logged as fully functional as shown in:

Figure 6: MSI Afterburner

On a last potential bug, latest version is not showing the bubble help in not a single one of any settings with the exception of the small icons for configuration, wizard, etc. Even the windows start-up "Welcome Screen" have all help balloons functioning. Just latest last two RadeOnPro builds are not showing in the so mentioned configuration areas. Not critical as I know what the options are for, so only reporting as not showing on my system.

Japamd, as I stated in my last post, if you'd like to know any other info or for me to test anything on my PC just let me know and I'll help with it.

can't start it





getting these errors, I just downloaded last version and installed it, but it doesn't work.

help please I want to optimize crossfire on FF XIV

 

Do you have your display connected via HDMI? Crysis DirectX10 doesn't mesh well with AMD/ATi drivers (it used to be with Nvidia drivers as well early on, but they fixed it after a while). It won't run your display at the highest possible refresh rate if it's connected via HDMI (same with many other DirectX10 games that don't allow you to choose a refresh rate manually, by the way). The (double) ALT+ENTER workaround to get it back to 60Hz actually sets it into a "fake full-screen mode" which is just a borderless window mode. So your performance will be degraded and only one of your cards may be doing the rendering. Also the VSync, Tripple Buffering settings, etc. may not be applied in windowed mode. Try to force the refresh rate to 60Hz in your Crysis RadeonPro profile (but it may not work with the Crysis engine), but if that doesn't help there are other things to try, like removing all but the 60Hz display settings from the driver's .inf and reinstalling your drivers. If your lucky and your display does have a DVI input, then use that instead of the HDMI one, it will work fine with DVI. There are other approaches published on the web one could try, but I haven't been able to successfully use any of them in the past.

The European version is working, but it hasn't been updated to go Free to play patch yet, so there is still no DX11 and whatnot.

 

I seem to be having some problems enabling CrossFireX in games that had it disabled via a profile when using the Verde skin. If I use the classic skin then it works as expected.

For example, I had a profile for FIFA 11 which disabled CFX and forced 16xAF. I discovered that Afterburner's OSD caused the game to go laggy despite always running at 60 fps so I disabled that and used RP's own framerate counter instead. Result: lagginess fixed! So I tried repeatedly to re-enable CFX in the profile but the CFX icon never displayed while playing even though the profile showed it was enabled. When I switched to the classic skin and enabled CFX the icon displayed so the game was running on two GPUs (confirmed also by the flickering on screen transitions).

I did a clean install of RP v1.0.10.0, including deleting all the settings and profiles, then restored the profiles from a backup.

 

@Mejiarma: I'll compile something to you so we can grab more detailed information from your quad-cfx.

Cool!

Windows XP support is somewhat limited right now, please try an ealier version if you're limited to Windows XP.

I've ended downloading the 10 GB installer to check it out myself :wanker:

It's working on free to play with DX11

I've detected some issues with forced triple-buffering in DX9/10/11, vsync issue in DX9 and some profile save routines that could lead to what you're reporting. It's fixed but I've found another problem: after running some specific games, so far: Far Cry (the first game) and Dawn of War: Soulstorm demo, the program suddenly stops detecting other applications launch.

 

aoc dx10 is still crashing but only when bringing up the options menu in game using f10 or escape keys. i tried disabling screenshots in radeonpro and its still causing it to crash. temporal AA is not being used.

 

since updating to .10 i got these errors too:

 

Updates

10/10/2010 - New build 1.0.10.1 - Bug fix release

- Fixed: some profile properties cannot be unset after being set (e.g. Video Spoof, Aggressive API detection and others settings)
- Fixed: D3D tweaks (forced vsync/triple-buffering) not working in some games. Try Aggresive API detection if it's not working. To quickly identify if it's working or not, try forcing Double vsync to see if framerate gets capped by 30 FPS (or half of vertical refresh rate).

 

thanks, works fine here (the video spoof)

 

Can you please try to delete your current profile and recreate it leaving all settings to default, just to see if it works?

It's working for me, I have only AF 16x configured on profile.

Windows XP support is somewhat limited right now. If you're limited to Windows XP, please keep using an earlier version. Sorry.

 

Thanks

Edit: checking.

 

I've tried the D3D tweaks, it seems it doesn't work me yet in STALKER games. The FPS get caped at 30-31 fps in most areas. I tried activating it double sync to see the difference, activating it with TB and with force agressive option checked. The same. If I try D3Doverrider again with, I get 43-45 fps in the same scene.

I don't want to bother you japanmd, but that's the info I can provide (also uninstalled - reinstalled the application and re-created the game profile).

 

Working for me with CoP and Shadow of Chernobyl

http://p4ouuw.blu.livefilestore.com...7mlhH-/XR_3DA.exe_2010-10-10-17-30-06-709.jpg

PS: if double vsync works, then triple-buffering must be working too if defined on profile (they share the same routine)

No need to use Aggressive API detection for STALKER.

 

ty for the answer, anyone has a link for a version that works on xp then ? I only find the last build.
