Heaven – Crossfire profile
Dark Void – Crossfire profile
Singularity – Crossfire profile
Unigine Heaven Demo – Crossfire profile
Just Cause 2 -> Single GPU and Crossfire profile
Battlefield Bad Company 2 -> Crossfire profile
AvP -> Single GPU and Crossfire profile
Thanks,

Terry Makedon

Thanks to AMD!

Nice, this profileupdate is good, not only for CF users but also, as seen above, for single gpu!

Will download when its up

narciso · Mar 19, 2010, 04:53 PM

A Metro 2033 profile would be awesome

Rifle_shot · Mar 19, 2010, 04:53 PM

downloading now, will report back if bad company 2 shows improvements, they said 75%.

ShaidarHaran · Mar 19, 2010, 04:54 PM

Nice to see ATi come through on their promise of independent profiles. Hopefully this fixes some issues/gives nice perfomance boosts to those playing these games!

The download isn't available yet... it will be shortly.

Rifle_shot · Mar 19, 2010, 05:00 PM

then wait, what did i download, it even said 10.3 profiles????

wait, now i see, i downloaded and installed the 10.2, and I must have the 10.3 profiles from the earlier release (which probably dont have the updated profiles)

my fault :P

ExoTic · Mar 19, 2010, 05:25 PM

lol just making sure is the new version 10.2 dated 2/17? or the download link is not up yet? thanks

Danny Nissan · Mar 19, 2010, 05:31 PM

Nah its is not up yet, the one dated 2/17 is the old one.

Uploading a 500kb file takes time, be patient!

Wow! Lmao!

caveman-jim · Mar 19, 2010, 05:38 PM

lol, no, just caught on the hop a little... was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Temporary link added!

blurter · Mar 19, 2010, 06:05 PM

Do you have to uninstall the last "app profile" first or do you just install this one straight over the top of the last one???

Rifle_shot · Mar 19, 2010, 06:05 PM

just downloaded the real version. ZERO performance gain for me in bad company 2 w/ crossfire 4850's. Does anyone know if you have to do anything special once you install these to get them to work?

Install over the top. Make sure you are running the 10.3a preview drivers, first, too.

.

In any case this is pretty interesting. I wonder if they decreased load times in BC2 or if they are still looking into it?

Rifle_shot · Mar 19, 2010, 06:26 PM

load times are not fixed, i think that was more of a driver issue than a crossfire one IIRC

Can anyone w/ bad company 2 confirm/deny if they are seeing performance increases. In the official forums somebody with a 5850 said he saw performance increases, looks like these might only boost performance on 5xxx series ATi cards and not the 4-series

ECH1 · Mar 19, 2010, 06:59 PM

Wait? Is it out yet? I only see the 1st profile

. Oh yeah the big red text now works...
BTW: The last time I tried their profile driver it slowed down performance for me with a single video card. Are they sure this profile is for both single and dual gpu users???????

Still looking into it, that would not be something a profile release could fix.

tofrost · Mar 19, 2010, 07:14 PM

thank you for posting! Tried the profiles (using the Catalyst 10.3a preview drivers). Anti-Aliasing now seems to work better in BC2, but there is no signifikant performance gain. The other problem is, with this new profiles, i get strange flickering and horizontal lines crossing the screen sometimes.

I am using two Powecolor HD5770.

digitalwanderer · Mar 19, 2010, 07:22 PM

Thanks Jeff, really sweet of you guys to host 'em early for everyone.

Have the same scrolling lines going up the screen , most noticeable when in the buildings on snow maps, using a single 4870 X2 here .

ECH1 · Mar 19, 2010, 08:12 PM

Is there a profile for a single GPU for BC2? Or am I reading that right that it's only for CF?

Rifle_shot · Mar 19, 2010, 08:15 PM

Lol I don't even notice any performance gain in BC2 on crossfire 4850's, so I don't know if there is a single card profile, but it prolly doesn't matter anyways.

I wonder if the profiles won't be activated with the mobility drivers?

There was already a single gpu profile, now there is a crossfire profile. Also note that these might be improved profiles and not just new profiles.

Mystik · Mar 19, 2010, 08:53 PM

I was always under the assumption that a "profile" was for Crossfire only (I
thought they were "instructions" on how to run the game well with multiple
GPUs).

But, seeing as this profile update is for "Single GPU"s as well, what do they
contain? Are they more like CatA.I. updates, "general optimization"s?

Little 3vil · Mar 19, 2010, 09:17 PM

This is my fist ATI card. I have a HD5870. I updated my drivers to 10.3a and a ran the profiles exe. But when i look in the profiles of ati ccc i don't see any profiles.

What am i doing wrong?

Theres nothing to look at in CCC profiles. These are application profiles, not user profiles.
