Does micro stuttering still exist in Crossfire?

[XxKINGxX40]

I've been thinking about changing to crossfire 290x, but the thing stopping me is micro stuttering. Does the issue still exist? And if it does, how bad is it?

[SSOB]

Yes, it's not nearly as bad anymore though.

[I/O]

It's allot better now in days after the introduction of AMDs "DMA engine" bridge less crossfire scaling is even better than nvidia in regard's to frame rates, scaling and micro stuttering.

Apparently it's mainly an issue if your framerate's below 30fps anyway. Which seems unlikely with two 290Xs.

[Altecice]

No... its non existent imo (run two 290x's).

[XxKINGxX40]

Also, another question, 290x or 980?

crossfire hasn't had much micro-stuttering in a good while. in fact, its considered slightly smoother (on frame time bench graphs) than SLI ever since AMD got their framepacing down.
