Assassins Creed 3 bug on 7970m

Hi

Someone having this problem?

Amd Enduro Performance driver.
Intel latest driver.
Win7x64
p170em






Is this AMD driver faulty? Any ideas?

Thanks

 

Are you sure that isn't a part of the game? I remember seeing those patterns AC games. If you are sure those artifacts shouldn't be there, it is likely the driver.

 

I checked gameplays and for sure this is not part of a game.

Does the 12.11b8 driver have implemented Enduro performance fix?


//// edit:

[SOLVED]

Installing AMD 12.11 beta 8 solved this problem, still dont know what with performance but game looking now smooth

 

Set AA to High will resolve this bug.
And..... FPS seems to drop below 20 when I come to Boston...

 

I had the same bug with 12.11b3
I was going to install the enduro performance drivers but it seems like I will need 12.11 b8 now.
Too bad I'm also playing borderlands 2 and the beta 11 doesn't seems to have the fix for dx9 .

 

@sheldorconqueror
Try first like @Shahan said, install 12.11p and set in settings AA to High not Very High, if this doesn't work, then install 12.11b8.

 

I will thanks
been fighting against BSOD for a day, I just managed to install the perf drivers

 

I've tried Performance driver and the beta 8 but FPS always drops to around 20FPS when I come to Boston, regardless of graphic configuration and resolution, not sure if it is a game's bug or GPU's bug

 

It's the game, I checked youtube, some users are saying it's poorly optimized.

 

Wireframe mode on even if you don't want it to be :/ But that is a bug with the AA since its appearing on the edges of objects which is where it does it's stuff (for MSAA anyway).

 

For performance issues, I read that the game only enables one core of the CPU, so try changing the affinity to work on all 4 main cores. Also I read that max environmental detail is garbage for even the best of the best desktop rigs, so turn that down a notch.

 

How do you change the affinity and force all 4 cores to work ? In the Task Manager and it shows that all 8 cores (4 physical and 4 virtual) are already enabled.

 

try disabling the hyperthreaded cores and see if that does anything.

 

Where is this setting? Are you talking about the setting in the CCC? I don't see a "High" or "Very High" option anywhere.

Also, I'm running the stock Sager HD4000 Drivers + the 7970M Performance Drivers & I haven't seen any of the stuff you've posted in your screenshots. All that loaded up smoothly for me. The main problem for me is that the game runs below 50 FPS 90% of the time. Just after the cut scenes I get a decent FPS of around 60 but it keeps dropping down to 40.

Is it any better using BETA8? (I don't want to try it unless I have to, as it might mess up my drivers resulting in a re-install :| )

 

You're getting 40+fps? lol how? I have exactly the same setup and I average like 20 fps regardless of settings

There is n discernible difference between beta8 and 12.11P that I can tell.

 

I average 25-30 FPS from Boston onwards. Sucks.

Yeah, 12.11P are giving me slightly better playability in Most Wanted. Going to try Skyrim now..

 

Bummer. Let me know if Skyrim loses the annoying flickering effect from the beta8. I might buy it during the steam sale.

 

Skyrim flickering issues are still there in 12.11P. Very very reduced, but oh so disappointing to see them.

I'm going to finish Most Wanted first, then I'll switch to BETA8. Will try Skyrim then.

Also, Black Ops II runs just fine. Can't crank up all the options to Ultra (You'll get kinda low frames) But on High-Medium-High, it's pretty good.. ~60 all the time.

 

lol wut. low frames in black ops 2 max settings? never dropped bellow 55 for me (Story). while mp is always around 100 fps for me.

 

Well, good for you. I can't max out everything or it gets slightly laggy. Almost on max though.

 

Hmmm, I'll be sure to benchmark BC2. I picked it up with Crysis 2 on Steam today. It looked fine when I played it earlier, but I wasn't running afterburner. I switched from 12.11P to beta8 because Crysis 2 kept freezing up in the opening scene, then I was getting some under-utilization in areas so I switched back to 12.11P and that fixed most of it lol. All this driver-switcharoo is getting old.

 

Strange, I don't have these issues and fps is averaging around 50 fps. Hmmm starting to think this enduro problem is quite serious and can only be covered up by drivers for released games. Newer games not covered by the drivers show poor GPU utilization for those with enduro and hence have to wait for driver fixes.

For me on 12.8 the game plays beautifully around 50 fps and I have not seen any 20 fps drops as I entered Boston or the fighting scenes..
