Just like Arni90, i can easily see if a game is not smooth, no matter how minor the stutter is.

More people seem to sway towards the 7970 CF setup.
Can i OC any 7970 past 1125Mhz if i use MSI AB??

Microstutter terminology:

Because I notice microstutter in the video

Why do you feel the need to link to an article explaining microstutter?

For the tenth time: you not noticing stutter doesn't mean I won't.

There is no stutter in the game.... i am an ex paratrooper, my eyes are perfect.

I notice huge differences.

The only game to look less smooth was black ops, but that games does not scale...

I disagree with that statment and would like to see actual sales figures as I beleive that SLI is a more popular platform, not that the AMD platform is bad, I had 2x 7970's It just seems like more people have SLI, This forum does have a lot of X-Fire users though

As far as AB letting you clock past the CCC levels this is easily acheivable by the following prceedure

To unlock unoffical clocks in the Programsfiles/msi afterburner/msiafterburner.cfg
Open with note pad, scroll to the bottom and change both unofficial clocks to 1 and it works

I notice huge differences.
The only game to look less smooth was black ops, but that games does not scale...

The arrogance you're showing here is astounding: "My eyes are perfect."
I have nothing to say here.
