The ATI Radeon 5XXX Thread

[One_Hertz]

I've been having lots of driver issues with 5870 CF. The performance randomly drops a lot to about 19k in 3d06 once a day (in single card OR CF mode) due to an unknown reason and the only way to get it back is to reinstall the drivers. I am starting to get angry.

The microstutter in far cry 2 is HORRIBLE as well. Unless FPS is 90+ (which it thankfully is most of the times on maxed settings 19*12) it is annoying to play the game. I can switch off CF and play single card just fine but then I have to turn settings way down.

I am in between phase change units right now so my CPU speed blows (4ghz qx9650). I am actually quite CPU limited here and there in farcry 2. Can't wait to get my new unit and clock it back up properly.

At this point in time with the current crappy drivers, I would not recommend CF even if you got lots of money.
