Any news on when AMD will release a fix for this?
I tried the 30 fps thing and it completely got rid of the micro stuttering for me on my 7870 with 13.8v2 drivers. I'd like to run it at 60 or unlimited but if I'm being perfectly honest I can't tell the difference anyways.
That's crazy... Difference between 30 and 60 is like night and day.
Haha, I guess I'm lucky, until stuttering is fixed anyways. I found this game on newgrounds to see if I couldn't tell the difference because I wasn't seeing it side by side and I got 2 out of 3 wrong lol. I guess something is wrong with my eyes despite having 20/20.
Yeah I got 3/3. Shits mad obvious. lol
I guess this is one of those times I should count my fortunes I can't tell the difference between 30 and 60 on this game.
I was able to completely fix the stuttering last night and enjoy a perfectly smooth 60 fps at all times. For the record my PC is using an HD7970 and i7 3930k. I used RadeonPro and set it to trigger on ffxiv.exe. The ONLY thing I turned on was Dynamic Framerate Control to 60 FPS. Everything else is default. I don't have the framerate cap turned on in-game. I'm also using the 13.8 Beta 2 drivers with a single GPU but I'm not sure if that really helped, the real kicker here is Radeonpro's dynamic framerate control.
When the game launches, you'll think it's freezing. Just give it a good 30 seconds of black screen and don't click anything. BAM, the game will start and work PERFECTLY.
I hope others are able to use this as well.
Note: I believe I was using the 32-bit RadeonPro client as well (it comes with both) because it said 32 bit in the lower right corner in blue text. This may be key.
What did end up working for me with a single card setup, is disabling Frame Pacing in CCC 3D Application Settings. (I'm not using RadeonPro right now).
Nevermind...still experiencing heavy stuttering even on a single card.
I was reading about sound conflicts with realtek and amd drivers on tomshardware. I found it by noticing that some people who are posting their benchmarks have a realtek driver in their specs that I did not have.
When I read more about that driver it seemed to cause stuttering problems in many other games by conflicting with amd drivers. Maybe I am not the most techy person in the world but when looking at the stuttering on my screen it does remind me of other hardware conflicts in the past. Like constant quick resets.
I thought if there were stuttering problems due to the display driver in some cases than maybe it is the same issue as here. I am going to check into this further but I thought one of you guys might be better at checking this possibility out and testing it than I am. I would post the link but I am new.
