The HD5970 is basically one card but it has two cores. There are times on GPU-Z where it shows both my card's cores are running and there are other times when the 2nd core just remains idle while the 1st core struggles to keep up. The weird thing is that it should run fine even with just one core, as i believe the 5970 is the equivalent of two 5850 cores. Well it should be, considering the bloody thing costed me 750 euro.
If you could do me a favour, try download fraps and run it in the background and you will see the FPS displayed in the corner of the screen while you are playing. Id appreciate that so i could get an idea of where mine should be running.
The weird thing is that sometimesthe game runs fine at 60 FPS, but at others it just cannot run above 50 and theres some evident jittering and lag which really is getting on my nerves.
Im seriously starting to suspect that this card may be damaged.
