I just got home from beach soccer tournament and need to relax this evening in sauna with couple of beers

I'll make a better report about this issue during the weekend since I'm preparing my R700 preview to be published.
glad to see someone that knows what he's doing.

but being the sceptic that i am, when doing the microstuttering fps-log tests, could you run the tests with CPU-bound settings (800x600 low) and GPU-bound settings (crazy high eyecandy)?

i read a post somewhere on these forums with a diagram. it said that, in CPU bound configs, there can't be stuttering because the CPU (driver) takes longer to execute command (that are sent to the GPU) than it takes the GPU to render them. and that in GPU bound situations, the CPU sends commands too quickly for the GPU to handle immediately, creating a delay, resulting in microstuttering.

as these cards are to crazy fast, the CPU becomes the bottleneck very quickly. see my point? so i'd appreciate as much angles to this subject as possible. greatly appreciated!
