ATI blue stripes

The latest beta patch (April 27th) did it for me, in conjunction with the 11.4 drivers. Now i have true full-screen mode and the GPU increases clock speed on its own.

Longer load times and still not very high FPS but much smoother, ie less FPS fluctuations and stutters. I could get up to almost 60 with the GPU clock constantly at maximum factory settings with the previous beta patch, with this one and no forced clocks it just manages it on its own. I get dips into the low 20s occasionally but overall it runs smooth.

My PC is not too shabby neither cutting edge: i7 920 @ 2.7 Ghz, Ati 4890 1GB and only 3GB of RAM.

I run models, effects and land shadows on high, building detail on low, the rest on medium, Vsync on, grass, roads and shadows on, SSAO off on a 1680x1050 resolution.

Not bad at all i'd say, considering that my RAM usage is hovering around maximum all the time. If i do end up upgrading anything that will be it, another 3GB of triple channel RAM should do the trick.

I went and got the 11.4 release from the ATI site (released yesterday) after seeing this, and it did give me an fps boost, in combination with today's beta. It looks to me like I have true fullscreen, but sadly my card still only clocks 400 with CloD running. Ah well every little helps I guess.

Interestingly, after installing 11.4 it reactivated my xfire (I didn't think to check) and the logo displayed in game for the first time. Still stuttery as hell tho.

S!

A tip from a driver tester. Try Lost Planet DX 10 profile for CrossFire if it helps. So now hopefully we can see support from AMD more And it seems most artifacts are game related, not driver.

I'll try the 11.4 drivers tonight.

Interestingly, my card (5870) has always clocked to full speed...I have never had a problem there.

The three blue lines were there at first, but since the last patch they have vanished.

Lucky you! Just to check though, you´re running the game in DX9 or DX10 mode?

It's running in Dx10.
