Eyefinity and Bad Company 2 performance issue

OK, a little error, as I had been doing 2X AA and 4X Aniso all along. The "6970" at 6970 clocks was Min 39 Max 81 Avg 54.067 Very nice. I then bumped all settings to highest, went 4X AA, 4X Aniso and HBAO and got Min 29 Max 34 Avg 31.733. Big hit, but again, I was also in a huge...

Eyefinity and Bad Company 2 performance issue

6970 without any OC was Min 44 Max 58 and Avg 48.733. I expect we will really see the gains with the OC. Nonetheless, the min was a lot higher, there was no lag and I am excited to try it with all highs and a bit more MSAA/AA/HBAO.

Success on the flash. Had to use the cmd version, but that is no big deal. Amazing. :) I will run a quick FRAPS on it again now and see how it compares, then will do some OC tomorrow and compare.

Eyefinity and Bad Company 2 performance issue

Prelim findings with FRAPS, just played for a minute recording. Was at 5760X1200, all medium settings and 2X MSAA and AA. The single 5850 was Min 24 Max 41 Avg 35.267 For the record, that was very playable and looked fantastic. The single unflashed 6950 was Min 36 Max 54 Avg 45.333...

Eyefinity and Bad Company 2 performance issue

For the record, I did some FRAPS running the single 5850 at 5760X1200, all medium settings with 2X AA and MSAA. I was running between 45-50 FPS pretty steadily and it looked great. We will see the improvement of the 6950 then 6970 in a bit. I will run both.

Eyefinity and Bad Company 2 performance issue

Glad this was able to help someone. I am excited to get my 6950 tomorrow and give it a whirl. This 5850 has actually been rocking BFBC2 in 5760X1200 with good settings and it is just night and day from the Crossfire setup. Again, I will update with FPS, etc., to give you an idea of how they...

Fixed: Yeah, not happy with this HD6950 (excessive heat with multimonitor problem)

I am still curious what brand we are talking about.

6950 flashed to 6970

I know a few guys that love to game and buy all the best components, yet know nothing about building/modding. I would venture to say most enthusiasts enjoy the challenge of squeaking as much as they can out of lesser components, so the 6970 hit would not be that big, but I could be wrong.

6950 flashed to 6970

Ordered a Sapphire 6950 and will flash it when it gets to me Friday. Got tired of the issues trying to get my 2 X 5850 Crossfinity setup as detailed in the other thread of mine. I will update.

Eyefinity and Bad Company 2 performance issue

Would using only 1 bridge really cause the game to run less than a single card then? Seems to me it would be the issue that the 5850 has in not playing well with Crossfinity, but I would be open to the idea that using 2 bridges would fix the situation. I had not seen this anywhere. Looking...

Eyefinity and Bad Company 2 performance issue

The numbers are right. It's crazy. I had the 5850 crossfire'd and was getting 18-24 FPS at low settings and 5760?1080. Now still with 10.12 and app profiles, a single 5850 was running 5760X1200 at medium settings, 2 MSAA, 2 AA at 40-45 FPS. I can only imagine I should get 50 or so FPS with...

Eyefinity and Bad Company 2 performance issue

I am thinking about going the 6950-flashed-to-6970 route at this point and sell 1 5850 and put the other one at my office rig. :) I will update with FRAPS once I have it complete.

Eyefinity and Bad Company 2 performance issue

Bah, so I had disabled Crossfire and it still happened. I yanked the newer 5850 and now it runs at 5760X1200 on med/high settings fairly well. Ridiculous that they have not addressed the issue, but oh well. At least I can play in 5760X1200 now. Thanks for all of the help. Now I am left...

Nice, so I guess if I want to jump in with 2 6870's or a 5970, it would be fine then huh? AMD makes it so hard to be a fan anymore.

Eyefinity and Bad Company 2 performance issue

Crap. I ran FRAPS on it with 1 at 1920X1200 and was getting 120 FPS with just medium overall settings. I went Eyefinity on it and was getting 20 FPS. Makes no sense. I even threw in a little OC on the CPU to get it to 3.20 GHz just for fun. I could live with 40-50 FPS easy. 20 is not...

I am wondering how much AA I would need at 5760X1200 anyway, so will also try ramping up res and killing AA. Thanks again to everyone.

I look forward to updating to 10.12 and adding profiles tonight. I assume it is just an addition to the Catalyst drivers, and nothing more I have to do with game files?

Awesome, thank you. I am not familiar with Crossfire profiles. Please explain. I have always just kept with single GPU's and so the dive into Crossfire is new to me.

I will try the single card and see how it goes. I have read 10.11 has some issues to it and wondered if it might not be something there, as well.

Eyefinity and Bad Company 2 performance issue

First of all, first post ever here. Figured this would be a great place to bring this question, as there are likely people that have solved this issue. I am a fairly experienced computer builder, going back about 10 years. I build a few systems a year for my office, home and friends. I know...
