Windows 8 and 8.1 do not need the parking fix. Microsoft built the OS with the AMD CPUs in mind (the OS knows how to properly handle AMD "8-core" products.)

i already stated that my brothers system showed large performance gains in battlefield 4, despite being on 8.1. there is no harm in testing it.

No core parking while in bf4 here. Win 8.1



Core parking while idling.

i'm not saying it plays up for everyone - i'm saying it still plays up for SOME people. let the OP do the same tests and see how it goes.

what program are you using there? could be handy

Resource monitor. You can search the start menu for perfmon.exe, or go to the performance tab of the task manager and there is a link.

this is so weird. i get 70fps or more at high with 8x aa and the works at 1280 x 1024 in bf4. i have a measly phenom x4 945 and a 7790. i think something is wrong regarding drivers.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I feel the same as there is something going on and its probably not CPU or GPU. I think driver issue of some sort too.

Just follow my rule. Only 1x high end GPU and you'll most likely never have any problems. In 15 years, i can count like 3 problems that i had with games and they were all non critical. With multi-GPU it's seems like people are having problems on pretty much weekly/monthly basis...

I just skimmed the pages and it seems nobody has suggested (forgive me if it was) using a program like DDU (display driver uninstaller) and completely get rid of any trace of the AMD drivers, then reinstall. I was getting horrible FPS (20-30fps) in FC3 when I first got my 2nd HD 7950. I used a combination of Driver Fusion and the AMD installer to get rid of the old drivers (numerous times), followed up with CCleaner before I re-installed, yet crap FPS still. I even considered reinstalling Windows until someone in this forum suggested DDU; problem, instantly fixed. Max setting at 1920x1200 V-sync on, I am rocking 60fps without a hiccup. Worth a shot. :roll:

I said do a driver sweep/driver clean. Does the same thing as DDU.

Sorry I was gone for a while. OK I tried disabling core parking and I think I have seen some performance gain in BF4. But still those blasted fps drops happen. It's not a matter of raw fps performance I think as FPS is always generally above 60 but it keeps dropping every few seconds to 10-20 and then rise back to normal which is really annoying. The problem isn't that big in the first minutes of gameplay but as time goes the drops become worse and more frequent. Same thing for BF3 so both frostbite games behave the same. Far Cry 3 on the other hand is still the same shit. Average FPS is 30 on max settings which drops to even below 10 sometimes. The drops here are even worse than in BF. Lowering settings results in higher FPS but drops are still there!

Especially with FC3 I want to bang my head against the wall when I see benchmarks like this (look at the r9 290x performance and keep in mind I play at 1920x1080 and with no AA at all): http://www.techspot.com/review/736-amd-radeon-r9-290/page4.html

Please don't say my card is bad. It's brand new and I had the exact same issues with 6970 crossfire. So both card setups couldn't reach their max potential for some reason. That means something else is holding me back.

could you do something like Wprime and furmark at the same time and record max temps with CPU and GPU maxed out? we may see one heat up more than it should, try and use CPU-Z and GPU-Z to look for thermal throttling as well.

Ok I just took Gigabyte GA 990FXA-UD3 and FX-8120 had lot of problems with that motherboard, u should try to turn off turbo mode and lowering ur multiplier and increase your FSB it might help u.
I bet best way to fix ur problem is throwing Gigabyte to landfill and getting msi or asus board

I don't think temps are an issue. Card never goes above 70-75 and CPU never above 55-57. They shouldn't throttle with these temps.

Very similar problems to mine:

http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/forum/threadview/2832654489413966382/

http://forums.overclockersclub.com/?showtopic=195034

Also did another test. Crysis 1! Yeah I dug out this 2007, back then- system killer- of game and tried it. I remember it run horrible with my 6970 crossfire while it was playable with 1 card but that was a crossfire issue. Max settings as always. The r9 290x didn't do any better. Played only the first level and as soon as I went to the first open area FPS dropped to even below 30 sometimes with 33-36 AVG. I generally observe bad performance in open areas with many textures and objects in it. The drops in BF happen mostly on large open maps and never happened for example in Operation Metro in BF3. This is reasonable up to a point but my GPU is ridiculously strong for these games.

This guy has an R9 290 and crysis runs soooo well!
