AMD Catalyst (Modified Build)

there's fix to grid. It's in the game not in ATI. try configuring the game confs manually(Game confs are on '%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Codemasters\GRID\hardwaresettings'
as an XML I think there's resolutions and stuff) or Patching etc. I know that @Hans Dampf got it working with simply patching and playing around with
GRID settings a bit. Also recall I sometime ago somehow modified the settings manually & then read only the file so game count's change the resolution back.

Well, we still need a bit work on these (as said it still has a small jump), but I think as in 10.5a and other good bottom drivers we can find on some point
some high scaling balanced. Hans Dampf was helping a lot when he was testing the v3.75 I found the 2 main issues there was why that set didn't work.

but good news is this set will be really great when it gets a bit smoother & hopefully I find something to speed it up further on D3D.

No, it would not be possible because this is an PowerPlay feature like ATI modifying Latencies of cards without us knowing anything (v10.6 WHQL was
good example case). Ideally only way to mod an idle clocks down solid would be to mod 10.4a or you to simply reset clocks to stock while not using.

Yeah, working on it. I know the issue, but DirectX 10 just now has to wait for next build/update.

Spoiler

This will be fun to watch out. I decided that hell with the greek and lets punch the question up on this ATIMAN is dumping these. Admin by now already figured
probably that I am using free e-mail & proxy'ng my ars up. So, permanent banning is pretty hard although probable, but hell I already had an response from "Sebastian product ATI manager and super duper cypress and hemlock engineering"

@ATIMAN subject
Never downloaded any of his uploads, since they always are something already released announced with some newer beta name.

Taking TwL's work without giving any kind of credit is low though.
But we kinda knew that ATIFAKER was that in the first place.


@TwL
I guess 3.80a will not give any gain on single card setup for Dx10 either, or is it only Xfire that needs work?

 

Maybe it is time you took over his "post" at ATI !

 

Has anybody tested how 3.80 compares to classic 3.50?

 

@ TwL

There is an issue with you ati_****_cleaner ...
It doesn't find the regjump...
I guess the problem is: start "REGJUMP" /LOW extra\toys\regjump "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video"

Maybe it should be start "REGJUMP" /LOW extra\toys\regjump.exe "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video"

But it can't find this pfad...

 

Are both GPU's clocking up to 3D clocks when gaming for you? Because I have been stuck, as many other have, with 10.5a as crossfire is broken in anything newer...


EDIT:

Ok, I can confirm that no these (v3.80a) do not fix the crossfire bug... I will stick with these drivers though as wait patiently for TwL to give us a fix, hopefully he can make a patcher save us having to reinstall the whole driver here's hoping.

 

TwL i installed yesterday the version 3.8 and today i see there is a new one 3.8a, i need to unistall and reinstall this new one? is necessary? or u release a patch to upgrade?

Bye and thanks for the work

 

Funny thing whit 3.80a.. Normal on my 4870x2 with driver after 10.5hotfix its only gpu1 running at 3d speed and gpu2 running on 2d speed when running dx9 games/benchmark, but with 3.80a its the other way around - gpu1 run on 2d speed and gpu2 on 3d speed... hmmm

 

I have read different opinions, so should I Install Application Profiles if using these drivers, or is just a matter of needs?

 

They are already included on these. Not need for extra installs.
Also, you should ALWAYS install them.

 

Hi to all addicted

Here is a short report on 3.80a:

Setup: 2x5970 + Eyefinity (6000x1080)

Dirt2: 4GPU medium load (~80%) starts with high FPS (+100FPS) but suddenly drops FPS to 5-15 (same reaction as we found on testing 10.8b5 modules) -> unplayable

Grid: high FPS (+120FPS) and high GPU load on 4GPU's - nice and smooth gameplay , but unfortunally lockup on game exit

HAWX: 4GPU high - medium load (85-95%) - gaming at 200-240FPS ( a little slower compared to 3.49) - nice and smooth gameplay

BF:BC2: 4GPU - low load (30-40%) - gaming at 25-55FPS - same result as previous sets (incl. 10.7a) - maybe a little bit more smooth gameplay

For 'quadfinity' this driver set seems not the best so far.

Guess it is still needed to have two sets on first page: a) single and multi GPU + single monitor and b) multi GPU + multiscreen

:bang::gape:

 

This is easy to solve: just edit the cmd and run the cleaner

 

I have tested this idea on BF:BC2 -> did not change a single frame in here - exactly same FPS. Maybe you didn't make a clean uninstall incl. deleting older app-profiles? The TwL sets definitely have the latest app-profiles installed.

 

Hans install the newest app profiles I know its supposed to be installed but do it anyways then check ur eyefinity bc2 fps.

 

Weird bc I did do a clean install with full cleanup but my gpu usage in bc2 was only 50 then installed profiles and it went to 90% on all gpus

 

Just did a reboot and tried it again: Actually you are right! Framerate doubles from earlier 25-50 to 65-90FPS .. but GPU load in this gaming scene which I tested is not 90% .. it raised from 35% to 65-70%

Some kinda weird

 

Hans it is strange that we are having totally diff results. my gpu load on battlefield is 90+ on all gpus and jst tested dirt 2 and i have above 90% on all gpus and a framrate of 80+ with all on ultra except for shadows on high and 2xmsaa at 6048x1080. quadfinity is working good for me.

 

by the way hans how did u get grid to run at the proper res. i cant get any res to work but default.

 

Yeah, please share the GRID tweaking trick.

 

I'm back on rflairs latest 8.761's atm, gpu-z sensor log and clear sky benchmark results show both cards are singing a sweet song together.
