    running a single 6970 2gb here with 3x23inch 5980x1080 and 15inch telemetry 1024x768, catalyst 12.11 beta11 + cap2

    runs between 40-100 fps, only noticed it drop to 40 on the grid, ever since installing the 12.11's its been like a new game, super smooth, last build was good, this build even better fps, rest of my specs in my profile.

    Does the 4xEQ make a difference to 4x non-EQ?

    aint got a clue but ill test it out, tried 2xEQ and was getting constant 60-120 fps, so banged it up a bit and it took a bit of a hit to the tune of 20 fps but still very smooth, hardly ever drops under 60fps.

    with the 13.4 and 13.12 drivers i tested i was lucky to hit 60fps as a maximum, on the grid it dropped to around 18 fps.

    whatever is in these drivers works very well for rf2, its a pity someone cant take what is good and modify a newer set with them so that the potential of ati cards can be seen, ive no doubt theres huge amounts hidden in some silly setting that maybe ati dont include anymore.

    I don't know why but the performance with a 290 and the current 14.4 is very good and the stutter is almost gone.


    Currently being tested at silverstone with 20 civic on three screens, start position 10 ~ 3 turns

    Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg
    24913, 448596, 37, 63, 55.535

    Relatively quality settings in use.

    The current rf2 version seems to run well and it feels different. :)

    Massive improvement with these drivers, at first I could'nt believe my eyes so I reinstalled the 13.12 drivers and did it again!

    Using Fraps, replay at Silverstone International, 130seconds long:

    13.12
    Frames: 5734 - Time: 130000ms - Avg: 44.108 - Min: 25 - Max: 80

    14.4
    Frames: 8612 - Time: 130000ms - Avg: 66.246 - Min: 46 - Max: 99

    13.12
    Frames: 5721 - Time: 130000ms - Avg: 44.008 - Min: 25 - Max: 77

    14.4
    Frames: 8664 - Time: 130000ms - Avg: 66.646 - Min: 47 - Max: 99

    That is by far the biggest jump in FPS I've ever seen with RF2, a whopping 50% increase! With the Heaven Benchmark the results are pretty much the same so something that AMD have done has improved RF2 in a big way.
    Maybe, just maybe AMD cards will perform equally to nVidea in this game now....happy days :)

    Wow that is a massive improvement. I might have kept my 7970 if I knew this much improvement was coming.

    Finally I see rf2 as it should be for a long time. The performance has increased significantly, but even better is the stutter is gone as well and all runs smoothly.


    With the optimal settings for the system, it is very impressive, the overall impression from the cockpit is insanely good everything runs as smooth as never before, long had not so much fun with rf2.


    Unfortunately, most vehicles are not for my taste but I had a lot of fun with the F2 yesterday, seems to be one of the better-tuned vehicles to me.

    Just to confirm i downloaded and installed the 14.4 drivers this afternoon for my R9 280X. As others have reported they offer a massive improvement in FPS on every circuit and visual quality is great too. Don't know what they did to made the difference but i can't recommend them enough for users of modern AMD cards.

    The new driver is even better than the 12.11 beta with my 7970. CanĀ“t believe it. Reflexions on high are now no longer a problem. 58fps with the BES Mod 29KI at the end of the grid on croft with nearly all settings on max and driver fixed 4xmsaa and 8af at 5040x1050. Amazing.
