So.. New drivers incoming today or tomorrow. They will supposedly be named 13.8's... "8" being August. Anyways, there are two programs which you can use to find out what your frame latency is in games.

The first tool you will need is FRAPS. Get it here: http://www.fraps.com/download.php

The second tool you need is FRAFS Bench Viewer. Get it here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/frafsbenchview/

To begin, open FRAPS and tick the "FPS" tab. Under Benchmark Settings, the only box that needs to be checked is "Frametimes" You can set the duration of the test to a number of your choosing.



After you have recorded the frametimes, you then simply open up FRAFS and drag the .csv file that FRAPS created into FRAFS.



I'm going to start benching some games in CrossFire using the current 13.6 Beta 2 drivers now. I will post up the new drivers once they are available.

Great, except this won't cover issues that aren't seen here, that appear over the cable. AMD agreed that FRAPS wasn't showing the true story about this issue already, because of where in the render pipeline it accesses the data from, after which a lot of stuff can still happen.


That said, I'm still interested to see if there is an impact at this level as well, too. It's all pretty useful info, since AMD isn't the only one with issues at times. Oh and look, jUly 31st..no driver yet, and it's 1:30 PM MST. Boo AMD, BOO...lulz.

it should show some changes as the pacing should back up the fill buffers, which is what fraps measures.

When dealing with what FPS Fraps gives. We're not dealing with that. We are taking the frametimes and putting it into FRAFS. The results are accurate and it does cover the issue.

LOL :laugh:

I was watching some videos, mainly of Crysis 3 from PCPer and One side was driver prior to the Prototype they were given, and then right was with the Prototype and it was like a night and day different. They then dropped the speed of the video to 50% and I was amazed. Left side was super stuttery, right side was butter smooth!

When dealing with what FPS Fraps gives. We're not dealing with that. We are taking the frametimes and putting it into FRAFS. The results are accurate and it does cover the issue.

FRAFS reads the timestamps put on the frame by FRAPS. But rather than showing FPS, it shows the difference beween the render times at that specific point in the pipeline.

The problem here is not in using FRAPS to measure average framerates over the run of a benchmark, but rather when it comes to using FRAPS to measure individual frames. FRAPS is at the very start of the rendering pipeline; it’s before the GPU, it’s before the drivers, it’s even before Direct3D and the context queue. As such FRAPS can tell you all about what goes into the rendering pipeline, but FRAPS cannot tell you what comes out of the rendering pipeline.

So to use FRAPS in this method as a way of measuring frame intervals is problematic. Considering in particular that the application can only pass off a new frame when the context queue is ready for it, what FRAPS is actually measuring is the very start of the rendering pipeline, which not unlike a true pipe is limited by what comes after it. If the pipeline is backed up for whatever reason (context queue, drivers, etc), then FRAPS is essentially reporting on what the pipeline is doing, and not the frame interval on the final displayed frames. Simply put, FRAPS cannot tell you the frame interval at the end of the pipeline, it can only infer it from what it’s seeing.

My god they are making us wait for these wtf amd already.
Im actually going to try this this time erocker ,benches only though.
Im probably day dreaming anyway since its unlikely to be applicable to my fives (58##).

If that was the case wouldn't the results be identical using similar systems with different GPU's? Either way, it's nothing official... For fun, if you will. I do know that using this method one can clearly see that Nvidia has the advantage in terms of frame pacing regardless of where FRAPS gets it's information from.

No, but rather than try to explain it all(since it's pretty damn complicated and I'm not sure I exactly understand all of it myself), I just suggest reading the Anandtech article I linked. Both Nvidia and AMD are not exactly happy with FRAPS, because of how it works, but in the end, for FPS testing, it works fine since it still tells you how many frames are rendered, since one cannot be finished before the next, so to speak. It just doesn't tell you how many were actually displayed, and that was the whole point of PC PERSPECTIVE doing all that testing using a second PC, etc...FRAPS clearly didn't show the entire picture, at all.

I do know that using this method one can clearly see that Nvidia has the advantage in terms of frame pacing regardless of where FRAPS gets it's information from.

NVidia has their own issues with multi-GPU as well. There were quite a few times that the NVidia guy in Ryan's video interview had an embarrassed look on his face when they compared the GTX690 results.


Either way, it's just another aspect of the pipeline itself, so all the data is relevant. My only point is that it's not the full picture in and of itself....that requires a completely separate PC and some pretty expensive video capture hardware.

Agreed. However, this bench (for fun/testing purposes) will/should show some improvement to give somewhat of an idea of how things are progressing.

Sure, since it is also possible that things that look good at this stage, may also have a negative effect at the end of render pipe. I dunno, time will tell, and I expect that Ryan @ PCPer will have some data when the driver comes out. Unless they paid him to shut up. :laugh:

Besides, all this conjecture is useless without the driver itself. If I can play BF3 for more than 5 minutes, and not get sick to my stomach, AMD's done a decent job, and that's all I care about. :roll:

Well, FRAPS tells me my fps sucks in Far Cry 3, so I'm looking forward to some better numbers with this new driver release, hopefully.

is it normal im getting 29 fps in tomb raider with a hd 7970 max settings? it doesn't seem like its lagging at all but fraps says 29/30/31 and the 7970 is clocked at 1125/1575, single gpu config on 1080p

^^^ i thought this frametime/microstutter/frame latency was for dual card configs??

and ive been running two cards for a few days and played all sorts of games and havent noticed it once.

I still see issues at time, and the issues generate an actual physical reaction for me, like motion sickness. I don't care about graphs and what-not.

Anyway, simply put, many users don't see any issues, but it could be construed that those that see no issues are simply not "sensitive" enough (ie. perceptually challenged) to see the actual problem. Usually these sorts of conversations devolve into discussing the ins and outs of the problem, but that's not needed, really. It's a real problem, so much so that AMD has spent months-worth of man-hours, if not years, trying to come up with a suitable fix. IF you don't see the problem, that's great, enjoy your Dual GPUs.

Let the nerdrage commence.


Anyone actually expecting AMD to deliver on-time, when they nearly never do when it comes to drivers and this situation, is simply delusional.:laugh:

they said they fixed the single gpu config, the latency from my pics are ridiculous for single gpu are they not?

Tress FX has a huge hit on FPS for a little visual pron in TR

It does, but 7970s are still getting about 50FPS with Tress on. Without it, there performance goes up near 70. TressFX is a much bigger hit on Nvidia cards due to the fact their compute performance is very low, compared to AMD Tahiti cards, which TressFX is a compute based shader.

So your retarded if you don't notice frame latency issues with AMD? (I'm sorry if I'm twisting your words but saying mental(ly) challenged people don't see a difference, what are you smoking Dave?) I could say the same for people who overly focus on the whole frame latency (non) issue whilst MANY people with dual AMD GPU setups for years have not seen any noticeable/real world issues (Fraps/Ffaps and faps aside)

Not meaning to be a dick and apologies if that's not how you meant to come across though you really should read what you post before hand as it could be construed in a way that's offensive, and IF you can't see that, maybe it's your problem bro.

PCPer's testing proved that the FPS measurements given by AMD cards, and what was actually displayed, were not one and the same. So if FPS says 80 FPS, you might only have 40 FPS, or 60, or anything between 0 and 80.

So no...24 FPS works fine for many users for blu-rays, but when it comes to twitch-based FPS titles, the differences between even single GPU to dual-GPU, and pretty glaring. AMD's done a lot of work to alleviate the problem as much as possible, but due to responses form suers that say there is no problem, no AMD is forced to basically develop TWO drivers at the same time...one for performance, and one for quality. If this issue was just people being "overly sensitive", they'd not go to that expense, really.

So your retarded if you don't notice frame latency issues with AMD? (I'm sorry if I'm twisting your words but saying mental(ly) challenged people don't see a difference, what are you smoking Dave?) I could say the same for people who overly focus on the whole frame latency (non) issue whilst MANY people with dual AMD GPU setups for years have not seen any noticeable/real world issues (Fraps/Ffaps and faps aside)

Not meaning to be a dick and apologies if that's not how you meant to come across though you really should read what you post before hand as it could be construed in a way that's offensive, and IF you can't see that, maybe it's your problem bro.

meh. And yeah, I knew EXACTLY what I was posting and how it would be interpreted. You should expect that of my posts ALWAYS. ;) I just simply put that out there early, since I truly believe that if there was no problem at all, as many would like to say, then AMD would not be working on this driver in the first place, since it'd be one huge waste of money. If you ignore that fact, that AMD is spending lots of cash on this issue, then yeah, I think you're mentally challenged, and I don't think there's anything wrong with saying so. I was directing my comments at any specific person, at all. I'm physically challenged, compared to someone who is stronger than I am. Why is someone being smarter, or being able to see things better than myself, a problem? Why is pointing it out a problem? It's simply science, in my books, form that perspective. I didn't say that's how it was, I said it could be construed...read all the text, not just the part that got you a bit upset.

I don't think he meant to say people are retarded or anything. I think he more meant some people who are not noticing the issue, their eyes, and mind are as tuned as some.

I know for myself, I notice a lot of small video issues, most of my friends won't notice. I'm just more in tune with it because I've been playing PC games for so long.

EDIT: Or maybe he did mean what he said lol.
