7970 GPU folding CPU Usage

[Activate: AMD]

I just switched to the 13.11 Beta 8's for my 7970 CF setup and I'm seeing WAY higher CPU usage on my FAH client, as in 10-12% CPU for each client (basically a full core). I know this behavior has been the norm for NV cards but until I updated the driver this wasn't something I had seen. Anybody else running 7970's with the latest betas able to confirm?

Yep, I saw the same thing with my 7790 and 7970 on beta 6 and beta 7. I rolled back to 13.9 official and CPU usage went back to normal. The 7790 was on Windows 7 and the 7970 on Windows 8.1.

Ah, thats disappointing. I'm running the beta 8's because of the BF4 fixes. This is my gaming rig, so I don't think I'm going to be rolling them back (gotta have priorities). Hopefully its fixed in a later version
