I also run 11.3 drivers. I think the issue is a bit hit-and-miss, some Ati cards go up to full speed just fine, others stay in "desktop mode" and you get half the FPS

Overclock them a little in the performance tab in CCC

Then search for Profiles.xml and open the one in the ATI folder if you have several (for me it is in C:\Users\Meh\Appdata\ATI\ACE) then see next points below copied from http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=68060 (Check out all suggestions in this forum)

• Disable CATALYST A.I - You must follow instructions below to disable Cat A.I. The slider settings are for enabled only, they've made it harder to disable it but here is how with latest drivers:

* Close down CCC.exe and MOM.exe via Taskmanager
* Navigate to <username> \AppData\Local\ATI\ACE\Profiles
* Open Profiles.xml with Notepad
* Alt + F and search for "Catalyst"
* Change Value Enable to Disable for Catalyst A.I
* Save
* Restart


In that file you can also search for the line below and set to enable, so:

<Feature name="ForceHigh3DClocks">
<Property name="ForceHigh3DClocks" value="Enable" />
</Feature>

This should hopefully make em run at full clock if you overclocked them in CCC.

p.s. I use the 11.4 WHQL certified catalyst drivers from guru3d (browse these forums for the link if you feel like upgrading)

I just upgraded to 11.4 and the issue still persists. I might try your advice but to be honest i don't want to permanently run with a fully clocked GPU, your solution seems a bit too "permanent" for lack of a better work.
The reason is that my PC stays on for weeks at a time (skype calls to relatives abroad ) so i don't want to increase my power consumption or stress my GPU any more than needed when i'm not running anything demanding.

Thanks for the advice however, i'll be sure to check out your suggestions and the link in more depth.

Apart from using the Ati tray tools from guru3d (which forces the clocks just fine but ends up rebooting my PC after 40 minutes or so of flying,even if i force the fan to go full speed and temps are at 65 degrees maximum), isn't there an easy way to create a game-specific profile that will be compatible with the official drivers?

Thanks in advance

Well, the last beta patch (check main forum if you havent done so) seems to have changed everything except for the blue lines ( )

Full screen seems to be properly working now so your card should be shifting into higher gear even without my seemingly drastic settings, which gave me no probs so far by the way
