So I got my brand new Sapphire 4870 x2. Drivers installed fine, no issues as I used driver cleaner to remove my old nvidia drivers. I installed 8.10 then the far cry 2 hotfix.
I ran lots and lots of benchmarks to test the setup and results were very nice including a 3dmark06 score of 23,000 (previously 21,000 with the 280).
Thing is... I CANT STAND THE MICRO STUTTER!
Its ridiculous. When you drop below 40/50 fps you can notice it reallly bad. I was playing far cry 2 at 1920 x 1200 with 8xAA and it reports 40fps average.. Which is great.. except it feels like 10fps!
Same in all other games and especially bad in Crysis.
There is no way I can stand this. If there is no fix I'm sending this back and keeping my 280.
Bottom line - gtx 280 feels far smoother than the 4870x2 even when running at half the fps.
I really really hope there is a fix for this.
