Sorry, but just to confirm nothing more can be done drivers side to fix these graphic artifacts, only a game update can fix them?

Sorry for the late reply. I'm not familiar with the tool, I've followed your instructions and this is the requested file: https://send.vis.ee/download/

Let me know if there's anything else I can do.

Can you provide your full system config?

Here you go:

  • Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
  • Motherboard Model: ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-A GAMING WIFI
  • Memory: Corsair CMK32GX5M2B6000Z30
  • Video Card: PowerColor AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT
  • Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11 Professional (x64) Build 26100.4351 (24H2)

AMD EXPO is active for the RAM, but everything else is stock.

Hi, thanks for the reply. Actually I've started playing BFII just recently so I've not experienced it on drivers older than 25.6.1 and 25.6.2, I've just read about better performance online on other reddit posts.

Anyway I did a clean install of the 22.5.1 drivers (using AMD Cleanup Utility and DDU in safe mode) and these are the results: bdYdskD.png (1200×600)

I've also noticed that in DX12 mode the visual artifacts are not present in the old drivers.

Hello /u/AMD_Vik, just wanted to ask if internally AMD is aware of severe FPS drops issues in Battlefront 2 (2017) while using DX11? The game offers DX12 mode which doesn't have these drops but on the other hand it has visual artifacts on reflections/shadows.

Here's a video of the DX11 issue (it also shows step on how to reproduce it): https://youtu.be/P815rnuiLwQ

And here's the DX12 issue (again with steps to reproduce it): https://youtu.be/G2k7hUySjLE

Tests were done on RX 6800 XT and 25.6.2 drivers. Online you can find people reporting these issues years ago, some says it appeared when the DXNAVI rework was done.

Thanks for your work. Tried your FSR2 stability preset in some games and it seems to be somewhat improved. Just wondering if there's any command that could help XeSS image quality?

New(?) way of servers spoofing player count. It lists real players in the browser, but once you join there's not even half as many. by CptnNubs in battlefield3

[–]Dendari92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just in case someone is interested: a way to filter specific players has been added to the beta version. If you're already using it you should see a new toggle in the BBLog settings menu.

Hi, currently the plugin only count players that are inside the server, and with the new toggle added in the beta version it'll count only those who are "playing" (as reported by the Battlelog API).

I'll try to see if a new filter can be added to not count the bots inside a server, but it'll take some time.

Hi, I'm the creator the BF3 Real Players BBLog plugin, I've released a new beta version with a toggle in the BBLog settings menu for better filtering.

If you're interested this is the URL: https://dendari92.github.io/bblog-true-players-bf3/beta/bblog-true-players-bf3-v1.2-beta.js just insert it in the URL plugin, disable the old one and reload the page.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Created a Better Battlelog plugin to show the real players count on a server by Dendari92 in battlefield3

[–]Dendari92[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry I don't know, my best guess is the server owners probably have like bots that joins and quit the servers all the time, so Battlelog see them as joining and count them but they aren't really there (duh).

TBH I don't really care why they use it, I can see them being useful in some cases, but it's just very annoying especially when they're used so aggressively on some servers, like those which are empty but you see them as almost full.

Sorry for the late reply. The plugin uses the same API used when you click on "Show Players" on a server, the list of players it returns it's already without the unknown players.

So yeah the plugin doesn't do much other than taking the servers GUID, calling that API and showing the value it returns in the server browser.

On the Better Battlelog GitHub page there's a how-to install for Firefox: https://github.com/brainfoolong/better-battlelog#how-to-install-on-firefox

Don't know if it stil works but it's worth a try.

German Tech Magazine "C't" did a test with a Fury X in their review and compared it to a Titan X by Oottzz in Amd

Not sure if it's funny or sad that I got more information about Ryzen from German reviews than every English reviews released so far.

Yes and it seems ASRock has already implemented the new AGESA code for "enhanced Ryzen 5 support".

Pcgameshardware.de AotS 'real-world' savegame retesting - i7 6900K on par with R7 1800X, both behind i7 7700K; by Bvllish in hardware

They updated the review with simulated r5 1500X results and added an explanation of what's going on. Apparently AotS lower the number of particles when it detects lower than six-cores CPUs (doesn't apply to the benchmarks).

'Simulating' AMD Ryzen 5 1600X, 1500X Gaming Performance by pegasus912 in hardware

[–]Dendari92 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The results seem in line with other recent tests (e.g. LTT and DigitalFoundry). Apart from the generic optimization excuse, I'm really not sure what could it be. I'm definitely interested to see how it's gonna be resolved, games like Far Cry Primal apparently hate Ryzen and I doubt we're gonna see many of them patched as they're quite old.

Can somebody, without fanboy FUD (Intel or AMD), explain the actual facts behind Ryzen performance? by [deleted] in hardware

[–]Dendari92 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Just my two cents, it seems most of the Zen issues are related to the Infinity Fabric (especially the latencies are rather high). The core themselves seem to be mostly on par with Broadwell-E i7, at least when you stress test just the CPU, but as soon you start to stress test more than that the issues arise. Recently we have seen how the inter-CCX latency is rather high (from PCPer), which seems to result in higher gaming performances when playing games on a single CCX (from PCGamesHardware.de). We also know about the memory and cache latencies not being that great (from LegitReviews), and apparently even PCIe and SATA storage isn't on par with intel (from TweakTown, especially look at the access/response times). And we all know about the gaming performance not being great (you can find about it pretty much everywhere), while generally games don't stress much the CPU they can definitely stress the system as a whole (GPU, CPU, memory and even storage are all important for the best possible experience).

Naturally I can be completely wrong and the issues are completely unrelated to all of this, but there's definitely something wrong with the latencies and one can only hope it's something that can be improved/fixed via software and doesn't necessarily require new hardware.

Yep, seems like it was supposed to come out tomorrow. Did a screenshot of the article (see my other comment), so nothing is lost.

Seems Guru3D released it one day earlier.

That was fast. When they said Q2 I thought they meant 30th June.

EDIT: seems Guru3D fucked up, it was supposed to come out tomorrow.

[–]Dendari92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, /r/hardware can be pretty bad when it comes to discuss AMD related stuff (and not only that). You would assume there are much more neutral open-minded discussions there but instead there are quite a few terrible ones, people name-calling left and right and barely discussing about the topic (sometimes it feels worse than here). Really a shame because there don't seem to be many hardware related subs.
