Cool. Doesn't mention crossfire for Rage though. I'll have to try it out tomorrow!

 

I think it does

 

Check the text from the real AMD site! No it doesn't. Looks like it may have said it, then al the other sites ripped the text. But it no longer says it anymore for crossfire.

I follow catalystcreator and apparently it will be next week.

 

You are right, AMD has pulled that bit and corrected the page.

I don't have the RAGE game to test anything, but I can report good gains on BF3.


The in-game tearing issue is looking mostly like a BF3 issue.

 

After 3 installs and uninstalls and driver sweeps I gave up on the new preview driver. It crashes every time on start up Guess thats not a big game breaker since I dont play Rage but would have been nice to see the increase in BF3. Anyhows back to V1 11.10 for me it is then.

 

Catalyst Creater said there was no improvements in BF3 for the v2 driver.

Internet is wonderful, but always go to source! Copy and paste is bad!

 

It was copy pasted from AMD's site direct, they changed the contents after I had posted them in here.

 

I'm not criticising, I do the same. But I read it then normally go to the source if I can to check.

 

Hi everyone!

I just got my M18x with 6990m crossfire, and I am having issues getting Crysis 2 to run at over 35 FPS. I completely uninstalled the previous drivers, and have updated to 11.9, downloaded the newest cap profile, and installed radeonpro, but I just cant get the framerate up running dx11 with high res textures. I'm nor sure how to configure the game for radeonpro, and have no idea how to activate a cap file, as I have seen mentioned in a couple of threads. Can someone give me some advice?

Thanks!

Thanks! I had already read and followed the crossfire guide, but I was unaware of the fps cap for the game.

I swear, I did search for Crysis 2, but could not find any posts on the alieanware forum at least...

 

Yeah I have to say search function doesn't always work here for some reason. It sometimes says no searches found even when I have used the exact key words that I know were post by myself in NBR.

 

Google Results

It was on the second page of results...


The forum search function is terrible - google works.

 

Thanks again!

 

ok so i installed the 11.10 preview drivers, but had some issues, so went back to 11.9 drivers, it was a success but it says (warnings occurred during installation).
but i cant see any errors in the log. I uninstalled the ccc and ran driver sweeper. restarted and then installed the drivers. any suggestiones?

 

Warnings during the AMD driver installations can be ignored if nothing has been specifically listed. I have had those myself from to time.
