Thanks for the info, frag85. Good to hear from someone else running MWO in a multi-screen setup.


Seeing how the R9-290X just hit the stores, all reviews show that it is optimized for large resolutions, and it is pretty affordable (especially compared to a Titan), I just ordered one. Should be here before the weekend... Guess I'll stick with AMD for a few more years.

Nice. Let us know how it goes. I'd sell my cf 7970's for the right price for a 290x or 780.

Got the card installed.

The good:
Before: My fps in MWO was between 30 and 40 on lowest settings.

After: It's between 40 and 50, on the highest possible settings, . (On lowest, with vsync off, it's beyond 150 or so )


The bad:
The Catalyst 13.11b7 drivers are definitely still beta. Getting a lot of issues where my system locks up. I also can't switch it back from Eyefinity to extended desktop, one of the screens stays black.

It's not a power issue, since it primarily happens when in normal windows mode (and I run the classic skin, not Aero, so the card is not doing anything)

I really hope that gets resolved soon.


Thanks again for all the advice!

I play at a resolution of 4320x900 with a graphics card HD 7770.


I used to have pretty bad FPS, but I found a way to activate the DX11 in the game. Here I leave the link to the manual... It is simple and very grateful.

The trap is in rename DX11 to DX10, and activate it in the configuration files CFG.
It may be that you have to reset the DLL files when doing a patch of the game.
