General performance of 6770M

Hey guys I'd like to know the general performance of the 6770m with the best drivers...

Some games like: Battlefield Bad company 2, Mass Effect 2, Crysis: Warhead, STALKER SoC or CoP, StarCraft 2 and.. Battlefield 3 beta experiences would be great input as well

As for the resolution...
Resolution of 1280x720? or even the native 1600x900...

thank you so much for your help guys.

 

Here is some info on the 6770m (benchmarks/fps in games):
AMD Radeon HD 6770M - Notebookcheck.net Tech

What driver are you on and what problems are you facing that makes it unstable?

Remember dont fix something if it aint broken!

 

thank you very much im looking into it now.

 

Well, my 6770M gets around ~1500 in 3DMark11 at stock clocks, stock HP drivers (Catalyst 11.2), but I've reached a-not-so-stable 1901 with DNA drivers (11.8.3), and 900/950 clocks with overvoltaging. Right now I'm at a more stable 840/1000 clocks with ~1750 at 3DMark11 with 11.9 AMD drivers. Going back to DNA though.

 

Are dna drivers better than AMD 11.9? And have you ever experienced any tearing in Source based games? (Half-life 2, Portal, etc) ?

 

First of all, I wouldn't trust Notebookcheck.net. Better ask another user about his FPS.

I think DNA is little bit faster. Haven't got any Source games, but if you are experiencing tearing, depending whether the game is OpenGL or DirectX, you should use v-sync with triple buffering for OpenGL games. If it is a DirectX game use RivaTuner's D3DOverrider to force enable v-sync.

 

Just played through half-life 2, episode 1, and episode 2. Never noticed any tearing with v-sync off, highest settings, 8x 16x

 

Hi Guys

My BFBC2 was running great while on the stock drivers (those on HP website for the DV6-6096) then after i manually updated to 11.9, i was able to run Rage after having launch issues with the stock driver BUT now BFBC2 faces random freezes during game-play, or more precisely hiccups that last for around 1 minute. This never happened before upgrading to 11.9.

I used this download link for the new 11.9 driver:
AMD Catalyst? - Rage Performance Driver

After the update, CCC says:
Driver Packaging Version 8.892.3-111003a-126338E-ATI
Catalyst Version 11.9

If anyone facing similar freezes/hiccups with BFBC2 with the AMD 6770M then please share your experience.

 

That's because you're constantly hitting 60 fps, hence no need for vsync (60Hz=60fps).

I'm using DNA 11.8.3 and it works just fine with BFBC2.

 

1) Does the switchable graphics function still work well with this driver? (INTEL/AMD)

2) Do you know if Rage runs properly with the DNA 11.8.3?

Thanks

 

Yes, switchable graphics work flawlessly. (Because you install it on top of the official HP/AMD driver, not by itself)

I do not know about Rage, but my guess is you'll want the specific AMD driver for Rage for better compatibility/performance. You can install it on top of the official HP/AMD driver.

 

Out of your list, I've only played ME2. It works well on high settings. I've noticed that Anisotropic Filtering kills performance on this card, though, even moreso than Antialiasing.

 

Haven't played ME2 tbh, but anisotropic filtering *does not* kill this card in the games that I play (JC2, BFBC2...). All of the newer cards handle AF pretty well. Antialiasing on the other hand, does come with a performance hit. That's why I use MSAA.

 

You mean MLAA? MSAA has a big performance hit.

 

No, Multi-Sampling AA in comparison to Adaptive and Super-Sampling (not so sure about Adaptive though). MLAA gave me BAD picture quality in JC2 when I tested it. Unless there's something I'm missing.
