Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Any flash objects on the pages?
That will do that as flash uses GPU.

get the same problem with only 1 gpu ?
Haven't tested that yet.
Here's a usage graph for Borderlands 2. The game seems smooth, but I don't know what the fuck is up with these graphs. I'm starting to get pissed.
So this is interesting, I disabled crossfire and launched Arkham City, and got this:
The graph on the bottom is core clock, and despite only running at 55*C, the core clock would NOT go all the way to 1000mhz. It was hovering between 650 and 800.. so.. what the fuck is that, exactly?

u should take time to make yourself a forum signature so ppl will know what your general system is.
Powersupply , mobo what not.
are u using the default cooler or water cooling? quiet or uber mode?
in catalyst controler , under amd overdrive, is your gpu target temp still at 95c?

i5-3570k @ 4.1ghz
SeaSonic X-series 1050w
16gb ram @ 1333mhz
Basic build, more or less.
And yes the temp target is still 95*C, the cards are switched to uber mode.
Try a run of 3DMark 11 and see if your scores are in line. If so, the graphing in Afterburner is wak. If not you're card is really throttling. Looking at that graph though it doesn't show it throttling, it shows it coming to a complete halt for seconds at a time.
How can I find 3DMark 11 scores for a similar build?
I'm going to bed now, but I'll run 3dMark in the morning and see what she does.

Uninstall Afterburner maybe? That shit has been causing me so many problems, crashing my games and whatnot.
Come now. Don't use my score because it's massively bottleneck by my 3570k
As far as spikes. I get them too when idle. I think AB is wrong compare to CCC.
Well, I got decent results.
What killed my score in comparison to his was that my max CPU clock was 3.7ghz, while his was 4.4ghz.
So, that being said I'm thinking that it's just Afterburner being completely and utterly wrong. Additionally, it seems like it might just be Batman having problems.

It appears that I'm not alone in the stuttering issue, actually. It appears that everyone is having the same problems with this game.
So, in this case, consider the issue solved:
- 3DM11 scores are normal
- Borderlands 2 ran smooth
- Afterburner doesn't into R9 290X
- Batman stutters like Winston Churchill
This makes more sense. Max load of 24%, which is low, but consider that UE3 is capped at 62fps. Unfortunately, GPU-Z doesn't read GPU load on the second card for some reason.

was this a crossfire score. This seems low if it was
It's not really that low, compare it to: http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/7408940
Consider that his max CPU clock was 4.4ghz where mine was only 3.7ghz
You have a 3930k@4.8ghz, that's why you're so far ahead of me.
i doubt my my over clock. would make up that huge diff over 290x crossfire.
here is my score. with one 290x. something is wrong with your score.

I'm getting weird reading too. My score is a little higher than yours with my 3570k @ 4.4 and stock bios on my two 290x.

What motherboard do you have? Some motherboards have 1 PCI-e slot handeld by the CPU and another handled by a separate chip.

Okay, so with that I'm going to safely ignore the Afterburner readings until they update it to support the 290X properly.
No, my score is perfectly fine, your physics score is literally more than double what mine is, and that score is PROCESSOR dependent. Note that my graphics score is twice yours (14k vs 27k)
To be truly honest, I really need to update my processor to something more beefy (along with water cooling probably) to unleash the true potential of this system, but I can't afford to do that just yet.
edit: faster ram would also be beneficial, since 1333 is starting to lag behind in performance these days. A proper 1600 or better yet 1866 would be best.

I did that earlier, and it showed a max load of 24% on Arkham city, which is low but makes sense considering the 62fps cap. The only problem is that GPU-z doesn't show load on the second card.
I'll try aida. Either AB needs to be updated to read right, or GPU-z needs to be updated to read GPU load on the second card.
