So, I am one of the victims of the apparent random slow down ? memory leak in Clear sky with the 4870 x2. I run around 70-90 fps but every few minutes without apparent reason I dip into the teens. Sometimes it recovers after a few seconds, sometimes I have to restart the game. It only happens if I have Catalyst AI turned on...It does not happen at all with AI off.
The trade-off is that turning off AI I stop having random slowdowns into the teens but on avg I lose 20 fps...geez...overall still much better experience with AI off....
My question is with a 4870 x2 am I utilizing only one gpu core with AI turned off? Or am I just missing "optimizations". I cannot get a clear answer on this anywhere.
BTW this is with Cat 8.9, (tried 8.10 but no difference). Running Clear Sky in DX9 enhanced lighting mode at 1920x1200....I have tried a variety of graphic settings and the only thing that seams to cause the random slowdown is the catalyst AI.
