I have the 13.12 Catalyst installed, and last night I upgraded to 14.4.
Perhaps of note to PGI, that MWO does not like this driver, or perhaps it's the driver that doesn't like MWO.
All other settings the same, Catalyst settings all the same as on the previous version.
Difference?
Tried with DX 11 and DX 9 modes.
Max GPu usage in MWO with 14.4 drivers was about 70%.. causing about a 20-30 FPS hit. FPS dropping to 20 or so in high action and generally hovering around 30.
Rolled back to 13.12.... back up to 91% max GPU usage (which still seems low but I have accepted that as an AMD user, with this game being an "nVidia" game, I must accept the shoddy optimizations ) FPS is back up to between 40-60 depending on action.
Anyways... can anyone think of anything I might be doing wrong here, or seeing similar results?
I have no real need to upgrade the driver so I'll just stick with what works... but seeing such a huge performance hit is pretty crazy
