Widescreen Gaming Forum

what the crap. ive been using .4a from hayden for days. and i fire it up today and the map doesnt work, same prob other describe with mouse being on right screen to highlight map and totally off. seriously ive been using .4a.. and ive definitely used the map..

switching to .4b to see what happens.....

I'm pretty sure the difference is charactor specific, something in-game... either a quest completed or a skill.. it changes the values somehow...

Hence the two version... So yes, if one version suddenly appears to stop working, try the other version, it shouldn't be a constant switchero tho.

I'm still using 0.3. The skills are a bit broekn, but everything else works well.

Those 11.11b drivers are not from an official source. If they are still giving negative CF scaling, my bet is they are bogus. Lets not jump to any conclusions regarding AMD's competence based on a "leaked" driver which may well be someone's attempt at humor by rebadging an old driver.

Game has not been out two weeks, and a two week cycle is about the minimum one could be expected to make a patch release in a commercial production environment. The link in the developers blog was unrelated to the linked driver when I checked last night.

Hayden's 0.4A is working beautifully for me. My only complain is that my resolution is 4272 x 768 with bezel compensation, and the left most side of the hud (small part of the item menu etc.) gets hidden in the bezel region that's not displayed by the monitors, Is there anyway to reposition the HUD a bit to the right?

Hey Hayden, can you shed some light on this?

Those 11.11b drivers are not from an official source.

The download links lead to the official AMD download server and the driver is available via the website: http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/catalyst-1111b-performance.aspx

They weren't up when he first posted the link. Thank you.

Just performed a fairly detailed test of crossfire performance with 11.11b.

*Test system: PhenomIIx4@3.8, 8G, Win7-64, 2xSapphire Radeon 6850
*Tests recorded frame rates at high and ultra* settings, using RadeonPro w/ Oblivion profile.
*1920x1080 Resolution (Returned one of new monitors for defect, not currently running Eyefinity.)
*Skyrim installation patched as of 11/26/11 (.ini tweak to fix shadows, no other mods)
*Baseline 11.11 (not a) drivers. The "a" rev caused problem with another game.
*Drivers were removed with AMD installer, then followed with Driver Sweeper to ensure clean.

11.11-High Detail
---------------
*Inside- 60fps
*Whiterun- 35-50fps
*Plains(outside WR gate to right)- 50fps
RadeonPo reports 90%/50%(imbalanced?) utilization of both gpus.

11.11-Ultra Detail (Shadows High)
-----------------------------
*Inside- 60fps
*Whiterun- 30-45fps
*Plains(outside WR gate to right)- 45-50fps
RadeonPo reports 85%/50% (city) utilization of both gpus.
RadeonPo reports 50%/50% (plains) utilization of both gpus.

11.11b-High Detail
-----------------------------
*Inside- 60fps
*Whiterun- 35-50fps
*Plains(outside WR gate to right)- 55-60
RadeonPro reports 45%/35% (city) utilization of both gpus.
RadeonPro reports 50%/50% (plains) utilization of both gpus.
Minor, evenly spaced microstutter.
Menus are glitchy. Pointer hangs periodically.

11.11b-Ultra Detail (High Shadows)
-----------------------------
*Inside- 60fps
*Whiterun- 35-50fps
*Plains(outside WR gate to right)- 45-50
RadeonPro reports 35%/35% (city) utilization of both gpus.
RadeonPro reports 60%/60% (plains) utilization of both gpus.
Minor, evenly spaced microstutter.
Menus are glitchy. Pointer hangs periodically.

11.11b-Crossfire off
-----------------------------
*Inside- 60fps
*Whiterun- 35-50fps
*Plains(outside WR gate to right)- 45-55
RadeonPro reports 90%/0%
Menus are smooth again.

Summary:
*11.11b Drivers provide no improvement at normal 1920x1080 resolution. They reintroduce minor microstuter and menu pointer hangs occasionally.

*New drivers report significantly lower GPU utilization, but same performance. Not sure if Radeon Pro is reporting gpu utilization correctly.

*Disabling crossfire nets same performance minus microstutter.

*Fail

thanks, c69. that's exactly how the 11.11b drivers are treating me while running eyefinity.

Great stuff, thanks for sharing c69. 8)

like a charm it works.
.4b now running great. played for a few hours on it. i actually like the spanned screens for the map anyway since the map is so damn huge, its nice to see it across the screens.

thanks for posting, c69. I'm also getting worse performance now on two 2gb 6950s.

Does anybody know how to roll back to the previous version? Do I just download and install it from AMDs site?
