    Radeon HD 5770 frame rate issue

    I am having frame rate issues since I switched to this card. I have done several things, including format and reinstall with drivers only. The areas effected are unusual, or I would just chalk it up to normal whitegate lag. However, my frame rate drops from 30 to 8 fps in South gustaburg [s] and Battallia Downs [s], which tells me it is not lag server side. I do not experience this lag in most other zones. I do not lag in Rolanberry fields [s] for instance, even with a ton of people there. I have tried all kinds of resolution changes, and I'm looking for some other suggestions. I have also tried older drivers all to no avail. Anyone else run across this ?

    AMD Phenom II Black edition X4 955
    Radeon HD 5770

    hmm.. I used these for the longest time and they fixed my framerate issues. http://downloads.guru3d.com/ATI-Cata...load-2450.html
    but they don't really apply to you(I'm not sure if you can install those on XP)

    Try some others on that site if you haven't. Unfortunately it's a lot of trial and error with ATI's cards sometimes. I'm sure finding the right driver should fix your problem though. I'm currently running on 10.4 and smooth sailing.

    I had to upgrade to 9.7 to make the XIV benchmark work and I've noticed a framerate drop on Win7 64 bit.

    The biggest issue I've had since upgrading from XP to 7 is lots of weird poly clipping issues.

    I agree.. Ever since I got the card I had lots of shearing during benchmarks. Going down to 9.whatever fixed it, and all the the drivers since then have caused even more problems, with the exception of 10.4 - which is actually giving me better fps scores than 10.5. Wish I knew why,

    I tried formatting 2 different partitions today, one was set up with the 5770, and another I pulled it an installed my older 4860 sapphire. I was happy as hell for a little while, because after I installed I had no issues. After windows update however, the problem has returned. I can't help but wonder if it an issue with my motherboard instead of the graphics card.

    I'm a noob at this but I'm experiencing the same problem with FFXI. Can someone provide a specific link to the 10.4 drivers? (I'm guessing) And what exactly I need to do to install them. Please ;;

    Do you have the same video card ? I don't have the link but I just used google to get to ATI's site and looked for the right platform of OS. Mind you, mine is working again now, but not the 5770 card, the 4860 with old drivers.

    I have the 5770. Framerate slowdown is driving me nuts. Still doing it with 10.4 ;;

    Sorry I'm going to bump this since I just got this card and am experiencing lowish FPS in FFXI. Any driver working?

    XI problems are probably the driver, I was getting this and Downgraded drivers to 9.~something
    Was getting severe framerate drop in whitegate, even in mog house.
    Downgraded to 9 drivers and was much better
