The latest patch has sent my 6950's back into "underclocked" mode. My primary GPU is only going to 725MHz instead of 800MHz.
In "true" fullscreen, My primary GPU sits at 725MHz and 0% GPU utilisation. My secondary card on the other hand, is all over the place based on how often I jump back to the menu. Sometimes it stays clocked at 250MHz and when that happens it shows 10% GPU use, other times it correctly goes to 800MHz and shows 21% GPU use. Either way, it's not working properly and the GPU utilisation (or lack thereof) is ridiculous.
In pseudo-fullscreen my primary GPU still isn't running at full speed, however it IS showing 60-70% GPU utilisation while my secondary card is idling at 250MHz and 0% use. Crossfire apparently still doesn't work in pseudo mode (borderless windowed).
I can't help but feel that this last patch has actually gone backwards from the previous two in this regard.
I'm using a pair of 2GB XFX 6950's, both running a shader unlocked BIOS but stock speeds, on Cat 11.5.
