HD 7970 Issue

[chardly38]

The best way to describe this is if I open a folder in windows ands start moving it left and right the sides of the folder breakup. This is carried over to the game. This just started.

What's your gpu temp running at and s it still stock clock speeds?

What do you mean by this breakup? Do you mean image tearing as in when there is lack of v-sync in 3D games? If it just started can you think of having changed something to trigger it (settings, driver etc)?

in dsc a10c world I was in mission editor playing with the weather. Started the mission and every think looked good. I had fog and a good amount of clouds. I start up and take off. Then all of the clouds disappear. Thats when things get weard. The game starts to lag and I get something like tearing but not the whole screen. Only in spots. Im using eyefinity.

So I tryed SothTH to set up my monitors and the problem did not go away.

Last night I went back to Eyefinity and things seem to be ok.

 

With whats happening in windows I guess you could call tearing. Its only happening to the left and right side of the the edges of the folder or CCC.

 

I havent changed and thing. My computer is not on the net. As for v-sync not sure. To add I decided to check my FSP with Fraps and Im getting 50 to 70 in pit and 100 out.

What Connections are you using for Eyefinity?

 

And what is your preferred display.

 

 

ie>

ON my system used to have:

Left screen is HDMI Out->DVI Adapter->DVI Input

Center Screen is DVI Out->DVI Input

Right Screen is MiniDP->DVI Active Adapter->DVI Input.

 

I'd only get tearing on my right display, as it's the odd man out, Left and Center Display use the 2 Available Display Clocks in the GPU.

Display Port Does not use Display Clocks.

 

Setting my DVI Screen to the Preferred Makes it so the Display Clock gets Priority.

 

 

 

I've Since Switched to MiniDP, MiniDP, DVI 3 Screen Eyfinity, and HDMI to HDTV/Extended Desktop and have no more tearing.

 

This is a Driver issue with AMD, I think 12.4 or 12.6 "Fixed" this issue. Then the newer drivers re-introduced the problem.

 

Another Reason A LOT of People want the DisplayPORT 2.0 MST - DVI Hubs, Drive all 3 Screens off one MiniDP..

SkateZilla on your right screen is something like what is happening. Its tearing but only at the edges. Also when I move the window it becomes blurry. In getting this at all monitors eyefinity or not. The thing is this just started. In a10 the canopy frame is blurry but not the ground. If i look at my right or left monitor its not blurry.

 

MiniDP right HDMI left DVI center

What does Display Clock mean.

I will move my monitors like yours. My second MiniDP is bad will have to get a new one.

Ah I see what you mean now, yes this is tearing due to v-sync not working on one of the modnitors due to slightly different signal on miniDP/DP ports and DVI/HDMI. I get tearing on my right side monitor also (which is connected to DVI port) while left and center monitors don't (they use miniDP ports)

 

I've searched for solution for this on the net and no one seems to have one, it's issue with eyefinity. Ultimately I think MST Hub's that are still not out but being advertised by AMD for Eyefinity, should solve this issue becayse you could connect 3 monitors on one miniDP/DP port and all monitors would use same signalling then so should be no tearing. Till then, no fix and just gotta live with it.

It happens with or with out eyefinity. Even using SoftTH .

[SkateZilla]

Cat 12.4 or 12.6 had the issue fixed, but that fix didnt make it in the newer drivers.,

It's v-sync not working on that monitor regardless if you have eyefinity grouping or not or use softTH, ports on video card are different so with eyefinity setup (multiple monitors) you get that. Try swapping monitors around on video card and you should see different monitor having that issue.

[chardly38]

Called Sapphire and they think my card is bad. Makes sense. A10 was running great with no tearing or any other issues after 12.11 update. Then to have it just start. Two weeks with no card. That sucks. I hope its the card and nothing else.
