^That's OK I'm happy with what I have now (13.6b2).....

If they don't delay again :P

Proof? Trolling much? 😀

13.6 B2 is fine but I wanna see the framepace on the new driver 😀

If you don't use a multi-GPU setup, you can't see the frame pacing in action.

Yeah exactly, plus even with CF stutter is completely subjective, in other words it's only a problem to those who notice it.
Seems a lot of people are jumping on the frametime bandwagon simply because they have heard others discussing it, even when they have no idea what it is.
But that's the internetz for ya. 🤓

I completely understand what you're saying, some are even noticing stutter in situations where it is impossible to have any stutter (in general), like enabling VSync and holding a constant 60 / 120 FPS.
I mean, I've tried it myself, it's *exactly* the same as a single GPU as there are no runt frames.
Then you got those who think the runt frames are intentional to inflate the FPS score when all they are is full frames that haven't had long enough to be displayed.
Kill me.

Bandwagon, meh, it's the same bandwagon that keeps people posting that AMD drivers suck and nVidia drivers are so much better blah blah blah.
Anyway, the big driver should come today, I'm actually quite excited to see what it brings because if it's a good one, it will open a few more options for my future gpu upgrade (will most likely go 7950 CF)

For me, a monitor purchase is influenced by how the driver does.
But still, I find myself sometimes (many times) capping FPS at 60FPS so games run smoother on a single GPU. Battlefield 3, which is smooth as hell compared to other games. Seems like nothing beats constant FPS smoothness.
Non-FPS games will be receiving the VSync + FPS Cap option ALWAYS if they run at the refresh rate.
The monitor I'm planning to get is overclockable so I'd like to have the option to run uncapped between 60FPS and 96 / 120FPS for FPS games.

Today at work I'm going to be thinking of these drivers. I hope they're out by the time I get home this afternoon!

Hilbert said a few posts back that they have been delayed one day, though.
I'd be interested in your feedback coming from a 5770 CFX user!

Ah missed that. I can wait, no problem, kinda had a feeling they wouldn't appear today. But you never know, there might be a leak and we might still see them today. And touche about the 60fps cap. I usually cap those less demanding games to 60fps. running 100fps makes my card run hotter too.
yasamoka
I personally think we're jumping the gun with 120FPS, though. We have to deal with varying FPS because many games simply CPU bottleneck before they reach 120FPS constant. Plus the GPU firepower required and you're mostly forced to stay with 1080p or lower since 1440p and higher would require more than 2 cards for that sort of FPS.
Something between 60 and 120Hz is the sweet spot, I guess.
Hoping for the leak / AMD changing their minds / Hilbert was just having a bad dream / etc..etc..

No disrespect to Hilbert, but he didn't give any proof that theses been delayed. AMD posted on there twitter about 15 hours ago these on track.
Pill Monster
Even with 100Hz and no v-snc I cap my games at 60fps for the same reason - smoothness.
Fallout NV or Skyrim (which as everyone knows suck on AMD CPU's) are limited to 50fps, it's still smooth and gameplay is way better than 45-100fps variation....

Wise move.

I can't wait to see if these drivers will allow me to still use downsampling. Since there's no other way of doing it on AMD... the beta drivers that came out this week don't allow it to work at all. If it doesn't work with these, then more than likely that will be it moving forward.

Looks like Hilbert was wrong, being released shortly according to Roy :P
