VSYNC Stutter Fix Guide - AMD
First off this solution is of course aimed at those with AMD cards since the software used does not inherently support Nvidia.
The Problem:
Whenever I turn on vsync there seems to be dropped frames / skipped frames. The input it self is smooth and is not lagging but the picture rendered is not smooth at all.
The things I tried:
-Drivers: 13.11 beta6/7/8/9.2
-Disabling Hyperthreading
-Disabling any Power Saving features
-Overclocking/no overclocking of Processor, Memory and Graphic cards
-Windows Aero ON/OFF
-"Run as administrator"
-Crossfire enabled/disabled with 2/3 cards and single card
-Mouse RAW input ON/OFF, different DPI etc
-All possible combinations of ingame image quality settings and resolution: Low/Med/High/Ultra, Resolution scale 0-100%, Weapon DOF etc
My system:
-Motherboard | Rampage IV Formula x79 s2011
-Processor | i7 3820 (Hyper Threading OFF)
-RAM | 32gb 1600MHz CAS 7 RAM
-Graphic Card | 3x HD7970 (3way crossfire Enabled)
-Audio | Onboard X-FI MB2 (Using Headphones)
-Network Controller | Intel 82579V Gigabit
-Storage | Samsung EVO 120gb (System drive)-(AHCI)
-Storage | Samsung EVO 240gb (Battlefield 4 drive)-(AHCI)
-Monitor | Samsung Syncmaster 305T Plus (2560x1600)
-Mouse | Razer Deathadder 3500
-Keyboard | Logitech Ultra X Premium
Windows 7 Ultimate x64

4- Make sure the checkbox for "Disable 64-bit Support" is UNCHECKED
5- Verify RadeonPro is running with 64-bit support by opening Windows Task Manager. There should 2 services running from RadeonPro (RadeonPro.exe*32 & RadeonPro64.exe)
6- Click the NEW PROFILE button and browse to where you have Battlefield 4 installed. Select the file "bf4.exe" in your battlefield 4 folder.
7- click the TWEAKS tab in RadeonPro and select DYNAMIC in the dropdown for VSYNC CONTROL.
Turn off ingame VSYNC and now you are all set. Hope this helped you aswell
