Clock Rate Fluctuating In Goldsrc (HL1 Engine) Game(s) - FPS Drops
Bad FPS drops in TFC...
Upgraded to a MSI R9 280X GAMING 3 GB from a N470GTX-M2D12 I removed the nVidia drivers with DDU and installed the latest Catalyst Version (13.12). Done the same with the AMD drivers...no change. I haven't tried many games yet but I can run Bioshock Inf and Metal Gear Rising MAXED well. What's the deal here? Idle temps and specs below: Code:
Operating System Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1 CPU Intel Core i5 760 @ 2.80GHz 23 °C Lynnfield 45nm Technology (Not overclocked yet) RAM 8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 662MHz (9-9-9-24) = Default 764MHz (9-9-9-28) = O.C CORSAIR XMS3 2 x 2 GB DDR3-1600 PC3-12800 CL9 Memory Kit (CMX4GX3M2A1600C9) x2 Motherboard Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. H55M-UD2H (Socket 1156) 29 °C Graphics W2261 (1920x1080@60Hz) 3072MB ATI AMD Radeon R9 200 Series (MSI) 28 °C Storage 2794GB Seagate ST3000DM001-1CH166 ATA Device (SATA) 26 °C 59GB OCZ-VERTEX4 ATA Device (SSD) 931GB SAMSUNG HD103UJ ATA Device (SATA) 21 °C 931GB Seagate ST310005 28AS USB Device (USB (SATA)) 31 °C 149GB Western Digital WDC WD16 00BEVT-60ZCT1 USB Device (USB (SATA)) 31 °C Power Corsair GS600 Bioshock stays at "1020MHz" whislt in-game, apart from when in loading screens: TFC fluctuates: And by FPS drops I mean it isn't even stable at 125. It will drop to as low as 60 when online with players. My 470GTX would stay rock solid at 125 most of the time. No word from AMD yet: http://forums.amd.com/game/messagevi...word1=cs%201.6

did you check minimum processor % is 100% in power control panel -> power options -> change plan settings -> advanced -> minimum processor state ?

It's boxed up and being picked up tomorrow. I have a MSI 770GTX 4GB coming on the 30th. I was holding off editing/updating my post until I've put that card in. Yeah, 4GB seems overkill for 1080p but it was only £35 more than the 2GB. Thankfully I could just afford it.
Just Goldsrc. After a little googling.. the net is full of this problem including Quake 3/QL. There is talk of playing around with clocks and disabling 'powerplay'... which I tried, and using older .dlls from past drivers but I couldn't be bothered. But at the same time some people report running such games fine. I posted at AMD and this was the only response: http://forums.amd.com/game/messagevi...ighlight_key=y I call utter bullshit on that theory. Just waiting until i've put the 770 in to prove the guy wrong, hopefully. He's posted that shit on other threads of the same issue. Must work for AMD. Conclusion: Poor support for old opengl? We'll see.

Before sending back I did a clean install of Win 8.1 for shits. No change.
Got a GIGABYTE GTX 770 WindForce 3X 4 GB Rev. 2 Goldsrc runs fine. Mr. Billy Bullshit: http://forums.amd.com/game/messagevi...ighlight_key=y /Thread
