Wish they would fix mantle on BF4, dx11 runs fine but there is better tech there I can't use.

I'll give that a go later but it's listed in the known issues so would think it's something more than that.

Careful with this update, it is causing crashes. Best to wait on an update.

Even on my older HD7950 I'm getting screen problems with the update.

^This, sticking with the WHQL released just prior for my 7970 until I see something useful added. I mean GPU-Z calls it 16.7.3 anyway.

From the same freq actually yes. I just checked last night.


Timespy performance isn't scaling well with FuryX core OC. At 1065MHz with 50% power limit i scored 5375. At 1100MHz only 5493. At 1050MHz with 0% power limit it is 5206

timespy has a fixed workload, its probably not going to scale well on much of anything...

And I assume the reasoning behind a fixed work load has something to do with Async Computing? Pushing 1GB of data through a pipeline when the data size is not the limiting factor, the pipeline with higher frequency will win. Pushing 10GB of data through the same set of pipelines, the fatter pipeline will be just fine while the narrower pipeline will be all choked up. Pretty much the scenerio with Fiji and Maxwell2

dunno, you have to ask futuremark.

Someone did some really indeapth analysis of the workloads, it doesn't saturate the pipeline, its fixed, and has gaps.
