Reliable, if somewhat vague, Eyefinity Crossfire frame pacing news from AnandTech!

http://www.anandtech.com/show/7379/amd- ... ing-driver

Quote:
While attending AMD’s 2014 GPU product showcase, we were able to pull aside AMD’s PR reps and get a comment on the matter.

AMD is currently targeting a mid-fall release for the phase 2 fixes, phase 2 being the frame pacing improvements for Crossfire Eyefinity. Based on what we’re hearing that would be a November release, however AMD has also made it clear that they’re trying to push these fixes through as fast as they reasonably can.


Thanks for keeping us posted!
Indeed its good to see that they are working on the issue for eyefinity cfx users.

AMD R9-290x Crossfire Benchmarks Leaked!
http://wccftech.com/amd-radeon-r9-290x-hawaii-xt-uber-mode-crossfirex-performance-leaked/

Quote:
There’s also this last slide the leaker posted on the forums which shows the CrossFireX scaling performance of the card which shows that the new CrossFireX DMA engine implemented on the Radeon R9 290 series as was leaked a while ago really does its job in dual-GPU functionality.



Because these Benchmarks are in 3840×2160 Resolution this is equal to Eyefinity, because 4K Displays are simple Eyefinity 2x 1920x2160 Resolution.

So at least the new generation will not have any Stuttering, lets hope they bring drivers for old generation soon.

So far I'm hopeful they'll bring their driver improvements to the 7xxx series, given that it's nearly identical to the new generation. We'll see!

FIXED IT!

Have you see the screenshots of the 280 bios? 7970 3GB right in the name, same version and date as my 7970's. :lolno: They didn't even try. Nvidia at least has a different bios on their 760/770's over the 670/680 cards.

290/290x are new silicone though. If its a hardware 'fix' for the stuttering, like the route nvidia went, then we're screwed for non flagship models. Haldi, didn't you mention something about that? Or noone knows yet?

Word on the street this morning is that the new Crossfire via PCI-E on the R9 290X is showing solid improvements on frame pacing.

For now, I'm still planning on skipping this generation and will be really disappointed if AMD doesn't bring some Eyefinity+Crossfire frame pacing improvements to the 7xxx series with driver updates.

I really hope AMD makes some progress with frame pacing. Its great that they have it working in those benchmarks for 4k which uses eyefinity, but DX9:
