This is normal behaviour. Memory clock switching is done within a VBLANK timing of the monitor, so you do no notice the clock changes; in multi-panel scenarios the panels are likely to have different timings so they will have different VBLANK times in which case if you did switch memory then you wou... |

FYI - we have implemented a new Crossfire X power mechanism in one of the recent drivers, whereby the "slave" boards in a Crossfire setup exist in a deeper ACPI sleep state at the desktop in order to save power; they only "wake up" when a.) Crossfire X is actually enabled and b.) when a game comes o... |

True dat. But, regardless of avail GPU power (like in Crossfire), if you overrun that framebuffer - you're down into the single digits for FPS. Thats not, strictly speaking, true. Texture mangement schemes are quite sphisticated in how they handle being addressed from system RAM and it not an "all ... |

As mentioned in the other thread, the profile fix will be available in a couple of months. It hasn't been a couple of months since that was stated. |

As you can see, the 5970 drops from 113 to 72 fps. And, according to this article http://www.pcgameshardware.com/aid,699998/Dirt-2-DirectX-9-vs-DirectX-11-graphics-compared-Update-New-comparisons/Practice/ (and my own observations), it's virtually impossible to see the difference between DX9 and DX... |

Dave Baumann would you happen to have a BIOS I could try flashing to a 5750? I have no fear of bricking it.
What BIOS revision do yo have currently? You can check the revision of BIOS under the "Graphics Hardware" tab of the "Information Center" option of Catalyst Control Center. |

Hi Dave, have any new games been added to the whitelist of games that work with Eyefinity and Crossfire? Is there a site where this list is updated? Thanks!

So far the discussions have centered around having a list of single panel resolutions in CCC that the user can select from and the "middle resolution" will be taken as a multiple of these. |

No, this is not "laziness" but issues with the way Windows does stuff. As mentioned in the other thread. |

There is issues with the way Windows enumerates devices and how the grouping works - we've found cases where, if we to enumerate all the potential Eyefinity display configurations it can take up to 5 minutes! Because of this, and the fact that there was no way around it, Eyefinity resolutions were r... |

On this site we'll cover more of the ... |
