BF4 x64 and R9 290X Crossfire - Weird Utilization

[sk3tch]

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Frames look pretty good, game feels smooth (97% of the time)...hovering around 100 FPS (120-150, then dips to 90, sometimes lower, etc.) - all from eyeballing...but is it normal to see it look like this in a usage graph? I guess I haven't used Afterburner/Precision in this manner enough. The move to 64-bit game executables has forced me to look at the graphs closer.

try using gpuz, others have reported weird graphs on AB...

Thanks, I gave it a shot - still fluctuating quite a bit. Maybe it's normal?

Yes, AB is broken. I posted this pic the other day, this is my "usage" while playing Arkham City.

Whoops, double post.

dynamic loading is normal for these cards, however zero loading is not.

I believe Unwinder is in the process of updating AB.

I get weird usage in BF4 at the latest beta drivers for my 7950.

Stock: 925mhz (it's an OC model)
BF4 sets current performance state to "850mhz"
-- It'll sometimes fluctuate between 925 and 850. But it usually sticks to 850.

OCd: 1150mhz (my multi-hour stable)
BF4 sets current performance state to "500mhz"


It's a tad weird. Temps never run away nor get above 60c.
