Re: My new PC [March 2012] - Asus Maximus IV Extreme-Z
Posted: 29 Apr 2012, 17:51
Catalyst 12.4 WHQL, no CAP installed.
I installed latest Afterburner (2.20) and played Crysis 2 Ultra DX11 for a little while, running the cards at 1100/1575, first with vsync enabled, and the second run without vsync.
Scaling is perfect. Performance too: roughly 97 fps average, not bad @ 2560 x 1600.
What i find strange however is the 3D-clock spikes on GPU1 while in idle (Windows desktop, after installing Afterburner and before running any game). They are confirmed on the AMD Overdrive page in CCC. I didn't notice it before i saw it in Afterburner, and it has no impact on performance.
So i rebooted and the issue seemed gone at first: perfect straight lines. As soon as i touched the mouse however, it reappeared --until i stopped touching input. Maybe it's not an issue but a feature, i don't know.
With vsync:
Without vsync:
