Poor performance from a high-end build?

[Kyle_Ragnador]

Since last Patch AMD USERs are foreced to increase their maximal allowered TDP on their card.

You have to set "Power control settings" to +20 to have nearly the same performance like before. (mostly on cards using overclock -> overclocked by manufacturer ,too)




Example Powercolor HD7870 PCS+ vortex II

Other Games like BF3, Smite, and programs like 3dMark runs normal like before.

before patch
Power control setting: 0 --> 55-68 fps

after Patch
Power control setting: 0 --> Card clocks with only 450 mhz results in 20-30 fps on max settings
Power control setting:+20 --> Card clocks wizh 1150 mhz results in 50-63 fps on max settings


Same with Catalyst Control Center 13.4 and 13.8 beta 2

Everyone with an AMD card who is getting poor performance needs to do this because it improved my performance by a very large amount. It also helped that my video card maker Diamond fixed the CCC so that I could do this in AMD Overdrive.

I've got 2 7950's and no matter what I do I still get random drops to 40+ FPS.

Where do you change the Power Control Settings? Thanks!

Edit: Nevermind, found it. Will update if I see an improvement. Thanks!
