Discover the negative effects of inconsistent etch-depth on plates and learn about considerations for sourcing, storing, and maintaining pad-printing pads.
Several factors influence the performance of the pad-printing process, including the condition of the ink, the condition of the pad (including shape and hardness), ambient conditions, machine cycling parameters, and the etch depth of the plates (cliches) that contain the printing image. Most of these elements are relatively easy to define and control. However, measuring the etch depth of the imaged plate is an important function that is overlooked by most users and by a great many plate providers as well.
One reason why few printers or suppliers verify that etch depths fall within acceptable tolerances is because the equipment required to measure etch depth accurately is fairly expensive, costing $7000-10,000. We are fortunate to have such equipment at our disposal, and the tests we have conducted with it on behalf of our clients has led to several interesting revelations.
For optimum printing results, the etch depth on an open-etch (line art) plate should be between 25-28 microns and on a screened (halftone) plate, 30-32 microns. On plates we've measured for clients, particularly screened plates, we've recorded readings from 16-30 microns on the same plate. The overall range on plates we've sampled runs from 13-35 microns for screened plates and 18-30 microns for open-etch types. Such variations can have disastrous effects on print quality since the amount of ink deposited during printing changes with the depth of etch.
Producing an etched steel plate is not a simple process. It requires careful control in all aspects of production. Key requirements include verifying the quality of the steel and the resist coating, assuring correct exposure time and development procedures, checking etchant condition, and making sure that the etching and rinsing processes are being completed correctly. Mistakes or oversights in any of these areas can affect the etch quality of the finished plate. Only rigorous final inspection by the supplier of the etched plate will ensure individual plate quality and consistency from plate to plate.

Ezra Klein is a self-styled "wonk blogger" for the Washington Post. His work does, indeed, have a wonkish quality. But if you strip that veneer away, he's just another liberal columnist who writes intellectually dishonest pieces intended to show that Republicans are intellectually dishonest. In other words, E.J. Dionne with a calculator or Dana Milbank with a smaller smirk.
Consider the recent column in which Klein argues that conservatives aren't interested in deficit reduction, but rather in shrinking the size of government. The conservatives I know are interested in both reducing the deficit and reducing government size. And nearly all of them are alarmed by the size of the debt — both current and projected — which, of course, is different from the deficit in a given year.
In insisting otherwise, Klein makes two arguments. The first is the familiar non sequitur that if Republicans were interested in reducing deficits they would be open to tax increases. It's a bit like arguing that if someone were truly interested in losing weight he would cut off his legs. There are different ways to reduce the deficit. Rejecting methods one considers self-destructive or counterproductive isn't evidence of lack of concern about the problem.
Klein's second argument is, I suppose, a "wonkish" one. Klein notes that Republicans distrust agreements to cut spending over a period of time because Congress can ignore the promises of past Congresses to cut spending in the future. But, in Klein's view, this shouldn't be a concern because if the economy improves, promises of spending cuts ought to be ignored. As he puts it: "The point of austerity is to solve a deficit problem, not yoke the future to the imperfect forecasts of the past. Once the deficit problem goes away, so too does the reason for austerity." Unless, so his argument goes, the real goal is solely to shrink the government.
But at this stage in our history, the point of austerity is to solve our long-term debt crisis. The Congressional Budget Office has produced an "alternative fiscal scenario," which many conservatives believe is the most likely scenario. It forecasts that by 2022, debt held by the public will climb to 90 percent of GDP, higher than at any time since shortly after World War II. And, given increases in spending on the major health programs and Social Security, the alternative fiscal scenario projects that debt, as a share of GDP, will approach 200 percent in 2037.
Even if one rejects these particular projectionss, given the size of the debt and the additional strain that indisputably will occur due to the advancing age of baby-boomers, a strong economic upturn would not eliminate "the reason for austerity" — at least not as conservatives view the world. A short term decline in deficits would still leave us with a serious, if not frightening long-term debt problem. For most conservatives, an upturn would represent an additional opportunity to address that problem, not the occasion for a spending spree.
Klein notes that, as the economy boomed in the late 1990s, Congress ignored spending limitations that had been agreed to by an earlier Congress. But this doesn't demonstrate the wisdom of going on a spending spree during good economic times. And nearly all conservatives believe it was a mistake to have done so.
For conservatives the lesson of the late 1990s is that promises to cut future spending aren't worth much. The lesson is not that such promises should be broken when the economy is going strong.
Klein disagrees with this view. But he fails to show that, by wanting to rein in future spending even in good economic times, conservatives are betraying a lack of true concern about the debt.
A true wonk would be content to argue the merits without wondering off into a partisan-style attack on the sincerity of those who disagree with his policy preferences.

The light-sensing apparatus of the eye is found within the rods and cones—two
types of specialized cells located in the posterior of the retina. Of the two types
of receptors, rod cells exhibit greater light sensitivity (lower threshold) and
a slower reaction time. Cone cells, on the other hand, respond rapidly, and provide
greater discrimination of temporal, spatial, and spectral detail. The light signal
captured by photoreceptor cells triggers a cascade of chemical reactions, called
phototransduction, which ultimately generates a neuronal signal.
Rhodopsin Dimer
Like the rod cell, cone cell activation involves the photoisomerization of the 11-cis-retinal
chromophore bound to an opsin-like transmembrane protein. In the case of the cone
cell, however, there are three variants of the transmembrane protein. When bound
to the chromophore, each of the resulting visual receptor pigments exhibit a characteristic
red, blue, or green absorption maxima which leads ultimately to color vision. Recent
work indicates that the differences in absorption maxima are a function of differences
in amino acid sequences within each pigment. Similar analyses of structure, reactivity
and function will have to be performed for all the critical receptors, catalysts
(G-proteins, kinases, phosphoesterases, retinal dehydrogenases), and reaction terminators
(arrestins, recoverins, guanylate cyclase activating proteins) within the cone cells
phototransduction cycle.
Light-triggered events initiated in rod and cone outer segments were the subject
of numerous investigations during the last two decades, most notably using molecular
approaches and electrophysiological measurements of the isolated retina or photoreceptor
cells. The light events are intimately intertwined with the regeneration reactions
that involve two cell systems. Every photon of light that triggers photoisomerization
is counterbalanced by regeneration of rhodopsin with newly synthesized 11-cis-retinal.
Contributions from numerous investigators have provided substantial advances in
our fundamental knowledge of phototransduction and the regeneration of rhodopsin.
These have included the identification of phototransduction and retinoid processing
enzymes, cation channels, and retinoid-binding proteins in the retina-RPE system,
and determination of the mechanisms of action of these proteins. Furthermore, within
the past decade there has been substantial new information regarding the links between
specific retinal diseases and identified abnormalities of the retinoid cycle.
Many unresolved issues relevant to phototransduction, light- and dark-adaptation,
and the chemical processing of retinoid cycle intermediates remain unanswered, including
the enzymology of the retinoid cycle, the mechanisms by which these intermediates
diffuse within and between the photoreceptors and the RPE, and the dependence of
phototransduction reactions on the operation of the cycle. These important questions
pose exciting challenges for future research on the visual cycle, and are certain
to continue as the subject of intense interest for Professor Palczewski's
The goal of Professor Palczewski's laboratory is to:
Knowledge about phototransduction in the retina, a system with great experimental
advantages, will improve further understanding of similar events in hormonal signaling,
cellular communication and immune regulation, and provide baseline information for
further studies of retinal disease processes.

A gathering place for colletors of vintage baseball gloves to discuss, buy, sell and trade
mikesglove wrote:William Read & Sons of Boston MA. was founded in 1826 specializing in military arms and sporting goods. There baseball gloves and mitts are very tough to come by. This particular mitt from the baseballglovecollector.com website caught my attention because of its pristine condition and odd wrist protector.
The inventor of the mitt was Arthur Ferry of Chicopee Falls, MA. with a patent date of 1906. (note the same arrow head wrist strap)
I could not find any reference to Mr. Ferry being an employee of William Read & sons or an independent inventor who either sold or licensed the patent. As a interesting side note, Winchester Sporting Goods bought out William Read & Sons in 1926. Also Chicopee Falls, MA. was the birthplace of Victor Sporting Goods in 1898.

Destination Dakar: New Push for Managing Africa's Shared Water Resources
Africa's patrimony of water resources is unparalleled – the continent has 9% of the world's water, and only 11%of the globe's population. The continent is also home to some of the world's iconic rivers. Who hasn't heard about the Nile, the mighty Congo, or the Niger?
Under the appearance of sufficient water at the continental average, however, lies a highly uneven resource distribution, meaning that many countries and transboundary river and lake basins face increasing levels of water stress due to rapidly increasing populations and various accompaniments of economic growth. Climate change exacerbates water insecurity, and in turn, vulnerability of the poorest populations.
Next week, the African Ministers' Council on Water will host the 5th Africa Water Week in Dakar – the continent's pre-eminent gathering of water experts, policymakers and civil society – under the theme, "Placing Water at the Heart of the Post 2015 Development Agenda."
I can think of no other venue more suitable for discussing sustainable management and development of Africa's international waters openly and fruitfully, and for catalyzing new opportunities and partnerships for greater impact.
At the home ground of the OMVS (Organisation pour la mise en valeur du valeur du fleuve Sénégal or Senegal River Basin Development Authority), which has successfully applied benefit sharing principles and equitable institutional and financial arrangements to harness the benefits of basin-wide cooperation, there will be much for CIWA and our implementation partners to learn and cross pollinate in our work across Africa.
Africa's 63 transboundary river basins cover more than 60 percent of the continent's surface area and house more than half a billion people. As water issues and the sectors which require water such as agriculture, energy and transportation take center stage on the development agenda, there is growing recognition that sustainable management of shared water resources must become an integral part of the solutions needed to end poverty and boost shared prosperity on the continent.

Due to a review finding from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), procedures for issuing the Link Card in the FCRC are revised. Federal regulations require responsibility for issuing the Link card be divided between at least two persons to prevent any one worker from having complete control over authorizing SNAP benefits and issuing the Link card for accessing those benefits.
The same person cannot be responsible for authorizing the benefits on a case and issuing the Link card. In the rare event that this must occur due to the lack of staff availability, the worker must request and be given written approval from a supervisor, local, or regional administrator who will verify correct procedures have been followed prior to issuing the card. The written approval may be via email.

Some believe that Doug Free will no longer be the Cowboys' left tackle. But that doesn't mean he'll no longer be with the team.
Executive V.P. Stephen Jones said Monday that the Cowboys are considering moving Free from right tackle to guard.
"I'd never rule out anything," Jones said, via the team's official website. "We're looking at it. We're going to un-turn every stone to get better. But I wouldn't rule him out of tackle either. He's pretty versatile. He's smart."
Free fell in the eyes of the team during the 2012 season, finding himself in a rotation at right tackle with Jermey Parnell.
Cutting Free would result in a fairly stiff cap hit, either this year or next year depending on whether it's treated as a post-June 1 release. But even if Free is cut in March with the June 1 designation, his 2013 salary still counts against the cap until June 1 comes and goes.

Now, you young folks won't remember this, but back in my day, when you wanted to make a cocktail, and you needed some cocktail bitters, you went to the soda-pop aisle of your grocery and found the shelves dedicated to mixers for adult beverages, and if you were lucky, you'd see a bottle of Angostura right there sitting next to the lime cordial and the sour mix and the tonic water.
Then about eight years ago, the bartender and booze writer Gary Regan formulated the newest and greatest recipe of his orange bitters, sensing a need in the marketplace, and so it came to pass that Regan's Orange Bitters No. 6 became available to bartenders and cocktail nerds.
These days, you kids are spoiled for choice. I decided one day to count the number of upstart companies producing bitters, and I had to stop when I got to 30 because I can't count much higher than that.

Namely a scene featuring Sachi's onii-chan turned vigilante, now practicing on a shooting range with a new Howa M1500 hunting rifle (you can buy a gun for hunting or target shooting in Japan if you fill out a large amount of paperwork).
But anyway, spot the reference to a certain canon scene in the light novels....
"Two rounds of .300 Win Mag made a cracking sound as impacted violently with the center of Akihiko's face… or rather the paper target that I imagined to be Akihiko's face…"

Spoiler for Excerpt from upcoming chapter:
Also, I am, now that I think about it, somewhat conflicted over whether I should include the reference to the infamous scene in the light novel, whether it would just not fit in the more serious tone of the story, but, I have nonetheless revamped it, making it more obvious, now in a scene where he sneaks up on a location he suspects may be housing Kayaba Akihiko. Reference to the infamous scene marked in bold.

As for Accel World, I was always under the impression it was more on the order of having spent tens or hundreds, rather than thousands of years in the Accelerated World. Also, its possible to have sex in the Accelerated World? Those avatars don't look designed for that purpose...

As for sex... It's called Unlimited Cable Burst. Or Avatar Docking. Or simply mindfuck in a good way. Like SAO. XD
In before someone winces like Stallone in Demolition Man. XD XD XD

Also, seeing as the person was in the Accelerated World since its creation, I'd assume he is not a canon character. And that everyone in the real world assumes he is an a coma or something.

There is also an Unlimited Neural Field, which is a non-instanced common world divided into local exchange servers. While less private, making out here is akin to making out in a secluded part of a park for example.
Spoiler for AW FFT SPOILER:
In a sense, I'm writing a AW fic that's inspired by SAO.

(1) AW turns into a Death Game?
(2) SAO suddenly becomes apocalyptic and all?
(3) Kirito becomes bad-ass, gets Neuro-Linker, and somehow Sues the world to become part of AW and still be human?

Long answer: Its set in the great beginning of AW 7 years before canon, when there was not just P/C induction, but someone actively scattering the program throughout BBS and even places no one expects, cause a large swell of players into the game. In my view of that era, AW gets some features common to MMOs like SAO but is missing, and so is added by the players themselves or is only viable when the game was more populous. For example, Crafting & Professions (I've got Stage Mods, Consumables, Gearsmiths planned atm), 10- or 25-man PVE (lots of players and a mystery active GM spawning UNF raid bosses), Legion Castles (Privately-owned servers created/commandeered by AW players that link into the greater UNF via VPN, and essentially gives them a home to hang out in. The theory for this is that the AW is effectively the internet, so anything that connects to the internet is a part of the AW game), more NPCs (they were more common during the first 2000 years, then slowly became extinct as the world became apocalyptic).
There is a Secret Shop feature that is meant for cash shoppers, like a normal F2P game. To access a Secret Shop, one must find the outlet hidden in the UNF. However, as few players know about it, the GMs never reveal themselves, and the game has 0 merchandising support, the only way one can get cash items from the Secret Shop is to kill world bosses and farm the tokens (epic/very-rare drops btw) that can be exchanged at the shop for Time Credits (CS currency) to spend. One character I'm writing about exploits this (her name is Celadon Tears, and she is known for declaring CAPITALISM, HO. ) by hiring Bursters to farm the tokens (regarded as a curiosity by most players), exchanging it for rare items off the secret shop, and stocking her shop with said items in exchange for Burst Points.
The Marriage is a feature present because its an Asian MMO thing, and also is dependent on the Secret Shop, as the initiating player has to buy a <<Ring From Level 22>> () and form a contract with the receiving player. They then are Married, and have some benefits like a shared inventory (again, taking from SAO).
Because of the interim 7000 years of wars, nerdrage, and the game dying slowly from the lack of maintenance, much of these features are forgotten in the modern era.
My story also revolves around a solo player... Who can be forgiven as when people log off (if they log out to go to school, for example), relative to himself, he won't see them again for a year so making friends is pointless.
Except that one time with a certain avatar from Blue Legion...

Frame Rating Part 3: First Results from the New GPU Performance Tools
In case you missed it...
UPDATE: We have now published full details on our Frame Rating capture and analysis system as well as an entire host of benchmark results. Please check it out!!
In one of the last pages of our recent NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN graphics card review we included an update to our Frame Rating graphics performance metric that details the testing method in more detail and showed results for the first time. Because it was buried so far into the article, I thought it was worth posting this information here as a separate article to solict feedback from readers and help guide the discussion forward without getting lost in the TITAN shuffle. If you already read that page of our TITAN review, nothing new is included below.
I am still planning a full article based on these results sooner rather than later; for now, please leave me your thoughts, comments, ideas and criticisms in the comments below!
Why are you not testing CrossFire??
If you haven't been following our sequence of stories that investigates a completely new testing methodology we are calling "frame rating", then you are really missing out. (Part 1 is here, part 2 is here.) The basic premise of Frame Rating is that the performance metrics that the industry is gathering using FRAPS are inaccurate in many cases and do not properly reflect the real-world gaming experience the user has.
Because of that, we are working on another method that uses high-end dual-link DVI capture equipment to directly record the raw output from the graphics card with an overlay technology that allows us to measure frame rates as they are presented on the screen, not as they are presented to the FRAPS software sub-system. With these tools we can measure average frame rates, frame times and stutter, all in a way that reflects exactly what the viewer sees from the game.
We aren't ready to show our full sets of results yet (soon!) but the problems lie in that AMD's CrossFire technology shows severe performance degradations when viewed under the Frame Rating microscope that do not show up nearly as dramatically under FRAPS. As such, I decided that it was simply irresponsible of me to present data to readers that I would then immediately refute on the final pages of this review (Editor: referencing the GTX TITAN article linked above.) - it would be a waste of time for the reader and people that skip only to the performance graphs wouldn't know our theory on why the results displayed were invalid.
Many other sites will use FRAPS, will use CrossFire, and there is nothing wrong with that at all. They are simply presenting data that they believe to be true based on the tools at their disposal. More data is always better.
Here are these results and our discussion. I decided to use the most popular game out today, Battlefield 3 and please keep in mind this is NOT the worst case scenario for AMD CrossFire in any way. I tested the Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition in single and CrossFire configurations as well as the GeForce GTX 680 and SLI. To gather results I used two processes:
- Run FRAPS while running through a repeatable section and record frame rates and frame times for 60 seconds
- Run our Frame Rating capture system with a special overlay that allows us to measure frame rates and frame times with post processing.
Here is an example of what the overlay looks like in Battlefield 3.
Frame Rating capture on GeForce GTX 680s in SLI - Click to Enlarge
The column on the left is actually the visuals of an overlay that is applied to each and every frame of the game early in the rendering process. A solid color is added to the PRESENT call (more details to come later) for each individual frame. As you know, when you are playing a game, multiple frames will make it on any single 60 Hz cycle of your monitor and because of that you get a succession of colors on the left hand side.
By measuring the pixel height of those colored columns, and knowing the order in which they should appear beforehand, we can gather the same data that FRAPS does but our results are seen AFTER any driver optimizations and DX changes the game might make.
Frame Rating capture on Radeon HD 7970 CrossFire - Click to Enlarge
Here you see a very similar screenshot running on CrossFire. Notice the thin silver band between the maroon and purple? That is a complete frame according to FRAPS and most reviews. Not to us - we think that frame rendered is almost useless.
Continue reading our 3rd part in a series of Frame Rating and to see our first performance results!!
Data gathered from FRAPS
Here is a typical frame rate over time graph as generated by FRAPS. Looks good right? CrossFire and SLI are competitive with the advantage to the HD 7970s.
Data gathered from Frame Rating Capture
This is the same graph with data gathered from our method that omits RUNT frames that only represent pixels under a certain threshold (to be discussed later). Removing the tiny slivers gives us a "perceived frame rate" that differs quite a bit - CrossFire doesn't look faster than a single card.
Data gathered from FRAPS - Click to Enlarge
This is the raw frame times as captured by FRAPS - again we are looking for a narrow band of frametimes to represent a smooth experience. Both single cards do pretty well, but SLI sees a bit more variance and CrossFire sees a bigger one. Quite a bit bigger.
Data gathered from Frame Rating Capture - Click to Enlarge
Here is the same data gathered by our new capture system - the CrossFire configuration looks MUCH worse with many frames hitting near 0ms of screen time. That would be great if they were ALL like that but unfortunately they also scale up to 20ms and higher quite often. Also notice NVIDIA's is actually MORE uniform indicating that there is some kind of smoothing going on after the frame leaves the game engine's hands.
Data gathered from FRAPS - Click to Enlarge
Let's zoom in a bit - here is 100 frames of the FRAPS frametimes from above. Notice the see-saw effect that the CrossFire output has...
Data gathered from Frame Rating Capture - Click to Enlarge
And see how much worse it is here in our Frame Rating Capture configuration. The pattern is actually exaggerated on the CrossFire solution while the SLI configuration is smoother.
Here are a couple more screenshots from our captures.

This is just a preview of what we have planned for our new Frame Rating Capture performance testing method. We have gone through many games with this and the results can vary from looking better than FRAPS to looking much, much worse.
I am eager to get your feedback - please feel free to leave comments below and the follow on to the conclusion of our GeForce GTX TITAN review!
Video News
I like the way you use hardware-based methods to get framerates and frame times. It's seems to be the best setup to evaluate performance instead of software that will use math and averaging to output a number.
Oh good, the pathetic nature of AMD's video cards using the new method is exposed finally - just a litle bit.
LOL - I wonder how many goodies AMD promised to keep this under the radar as long as possible while they SCRAMBLE to find a fix... wow those TOP END meet and discus DINING MEALS must have been just awesome and exquisite...
Def jelly.
Anyway, I'm glad AMD is exposed for the garbage that it is - this just shows to me why there are 100 other driver problems with AMD cards, while nVidia is near perfect 100% of the time.
I don't expect the radeon ragers to ever admit it, though.
AMD will die and they will collapse into a puddle of delicious forever tears and blame nVidia and their evil plots... and the "stupid public" "conned by advertising"... but NEVER the results of the above test and those like it we have had for half a decade now.
I do wonder how AMD gets away with it for years at a time before they are exposed... how shameful it must be when they finally realize they have been crap again for half a decade.
Great review. Keep it comming guys.
Great stuff just want to see AMD's response to their crossfire performance!
Excellent stuff. Thank you for the real insight. :)
dude, that is crazy! You think the amd cards in crossfire just synchronize poorly to produce this? Or maybe there's a conspiracy going on (cue x-files theme).
Yes the conspiracy has been to cover up, forgive, not mention, minimize, and give a big fat break to AMD every time, all the time.
That has produced this pathetic result, and a hundred other unresolved AMD vid car issues that carry on forever, maybe getting fixed a month or two before obsolescence, if then.
So this is very good news - the other single time AMD got jumped was on "crossfire drivers" @ hardocp - they have Terry Maked0n "Catalyst Maker" top dog in and he typed it: " I didn't even know we had a problem".
Yes, he didn't know - or he lied, the CF drivers shortly thereafter TOOK A GIANT LEAP FORWARD AND SURPASSED nVidia for the 1st time ever.
So somehow, AMD insulates all it's engineers ( the few they have left ), all it's PR people, all the disappointed users on their tyranny managed lock and delete "help" website, and all that secret no monkey see hear or taste total blackout leaves them blowing forevermore.
When something finally cracks through the impenetrable blackness of contact with the real world, they actually fix it ! (Well, maybe only if they get a LOT of help from end users replicating problems and sending in their cards and systems and wasting their lives while not getting paid).
Yeah, man amd so blows, hope they die soon.
(maybe their hardware (or engineers) are only meant for the direct run on hardware code that the gaming consoles use, and when it gets extrapolated off direct native hardware into a PC and for gaming, it will never be done correctly).
They need to die, be bought off, a then managed properly, without the lalalallalalala fingers in their ears method.
You should try this method on a console!
Only possible if we can get some kind of developer kit and run the overlay application on it as well.
Much more complex. :/
Ok I'll repost here.
Does turning Vsync ON, fixes CF presenting issues.
If it does, is the performance of Vsycned CF in line when compared to Vsync OFF results.
Also does the Vsynced sysetm exhibits frame skipping like with RadeonPro "smoothing"?
And I'm not asking specifically about CF alone, but SLI and single GPUs also.
Yes, Vsync would usually cause frames to be "dropped" from presentation.
We are going to be doing Vsync enabled testing for our full article as well.
I won't have to flip back and forth through 10 reviews.
PC Perspective is going to be The Mother Of All Reviews And Benchmarks.
Now the question is... WHEN
But dose it also change the numbers, and give a more realistic view of whats happening?
Do you plan on explaining what exactly the overlay colors mean, etc? Maybe i missed something, going to go back and re-read the other articles just in case.
It would also be cool if you also compared last generation cards, like the 580, etc. Or maybe that's just too many cards.
I also wanted to ask why exactly you aren't testing CrossFireX? I understand that these testing methods don't put the cards in the best light. However if that's how they are performing then it should be noted. It is important to me that these kind of things are brought up, in order to encourage better support, and properly inform consumers.
I have the exact same issues with my 6970 CrossFireX setup.
After you posted the first Frame Rating preview, i have started looking more closely at my frame times as well.
This is clearly an AMD driver issue, and has been an issue for a while.
I personally think this should be publicized more until they actually fix these issues for all relevant cards, not just the 7000 series. Smooth gameplay is a big deal IMO.
If I understand correctly, the color overlay is simply a sequence of colors to indicate if any frame were dropped.
Can you please change the colors of all your charts to be visible by color blind readers?
Hi Kenny, I completely apologize for that. I didn't think about it all but I'll try to find out more on the topic and pick some better colors next time.
I had selected red and green to represent AMD and NVIDIA. :)
Damn Ryan, this rocks.
You guys are so full of Sh*t with these benchmarks. Even TR is saying Xfire is fixed, you guys and anther biased site is claiming these absurd results for reasons we know well (Hits & slandering AMD).. I am positive nvidia have purchased you guys from a while back bcoz you guys have consistently bashed AMD and praised nvidia.. you even praised the 1000 card lol
I just hope AMD gives you guys what you deserve... Hopefully before next AMD gen cards (No Cards for you anymore)
What is wrong with you have you even read the previous articles and how much money and time and programming went into getting this right and making sure that gfxcard companies are actually doing what they advertise and not some b/s. PcPer is calling these companies on their crap and its a service to us the consumers.
I agree the poster you are replying to is over the top in his statements.
I do feel though that PCPer is definitely nvidia biased and affiliated to a certain extent. Not that I would completely discount these results. There is obvious nvidia partiality from this website though and I hear these sentiments echoed on many tech forums.
If he were truly 'looking out for consumers' he would of crucified the Titan for being nothing beyond the genuine GTX 680 with its priced doubled, yet he praised it and went so far as to have an nvidia PR man shilling on his website in a live stream.
Yeah, clearly not biased.......
Look forward to more investigations about this frametime business, but I do realize many users have been using crossfire and SLI for years now and it's only a few tech sites that are screaming about this issue, while the end-users have been quite happy with their experiences.
Maybe if this site was not so connected to nvidia it would be more palatable to take these results at face value. But with it having nvidia marketers on the site trying to sell a huge rip-off card like Titan, along with a Titan review not once really laying waste to it being a massively overpriced VGA in relation to history and performance...
well, it gets much more difficult not to take this all as a shill.
The funny thing is, he had AMD on a couple of days before he had nVidia on. He has done a ton of live stuff with AMD including his next event on 3/5.
Do your homework before making a subjective statement. Accusing pcper of giving more positive reviews for Nvidia cards based on pure preference and not user experience is a grievous error.
Before there was pcper.com there was amdmb.com - they were the same site and it was an entirely AMD based review site. amdmb.com evolved into pcper.com to widen its user base and stay relavant. pcper is still evolving and atte4mpting to remain at the tip of the spear by including reviews of tablets and phones occasionally. There is nothing more cerain than change and hopefully pcper will stay ahead of the curfe.
Many of the pcper old hats are still AMD die hards and prefer AMD because they prefer the underdog - especially in the AMD vs. Intel side of things. When ATI was purchased by AMD, many saw this as a great opportunity for the German based company to continue to develop enthusiasts class chips. The further split of AMD's fabs into a separate company, Global Foundries, gave some hope to many that the underdog would once again be able to develop an x86 chip with performance exceeding that of Intel.
The slanderous statements are entirely incorrect -
AMD fans are so used to being given a thousand breaks at every website but two, when AMD is kissed gloriously then finally the "bad data that was held back for AMD's sake" makes it to a webpage, the fanboys go crazy...
If you're coddled forever, slightly less coddling is considered unforgivable. That's the real story with AMD and all the website save 2 of them.
If you know anything, you know who those 2 websites are. They don't coddle AMD and baby it and give it endless breaks.
Appearing to be fixed on limited data is not the same as actually being fixed.
Have you not seen the contests PC Per have done? The majority have been sponsored by AMD?
Take your head out of the sand.
One would think a proper AMD fan reaction ( if said person was sane ) would be along the lines: " So I've been gettig screwed all this time ?!!?? What took so long for this to be exposed! Why is AMD "fixing it" finally while claiming "it's not really a problem" ? "
But no, the amd fan merely hates the facts, and is happy no matter how pathetic the amd video card is. They must drop hundreds of Verdetrol pills a day. ( google it ! LOL )
TR is not saying xfire is fixed... not by a long shot. Check out their Titan review and watch how 7970 CF looks awesome on average framerate and not so much on 99th % frametime
Hi Anonymous (if that's your real name) - I'm going to guess you disagree with the data. Can you please explain on what basis you disagree, including references where possible to data supporting your argument?
Alternatively, come back in a few years once you've made it past puberty and can hopefully make meaningful and useful comments.
Mr Shrout, I came to this article after hearing you on This Week in Computer Hardware over the last few weeks. You have provided very good descriptions in that podcast, and here. I like that PC Perspective is putting some time and thought into what the end user really sees, rather than just going with "average fps". I haven't had the problem lately, but a few years back graphical stutter was the bane of the PC gamer's life.
Have you got any thoughts on why you get this effect with Crossfire?
Have you guys tried changing the Crossfire rendering method to see if it changes your graphs? I know SLI used AFR style while AMD uses the checkerboard style rendering. Just wondering if that is having any effect.
are you sure about this? I don't have crossfire or SLI, but from what I understand, both default to AFR and you don't really have any option to change it unless the programmers made a specific profile to change it.
This would also make sense since microstutter is really only present in AFR and not in other modes.
Check this out.
I'm not sure that's relevant anymore, since they are discussing ati x800's, which are pretty old cards.
I dont believe any modern drivers give you the option to switch modes (again, please someone correct me, i dont have SLI or crossfire) and I'm pretty sure they all default to AFR if no profile is found.
This also wouldn't be surprising because AFR usually gives the highest reported FPS, so companies would usually want it to default to this for reviewing and benchmarking purposes.
You can switch modes in CCC for AMD and Nvidia SLI control panels, most games and benchmarks just have predefined profiles.
CF uses AFR, it's even listed in the CF best practices documentation pdf as default & what devs should adjust their engine to
plus if you look at the CAP xml, AFR is listed constantly
i have forced the other modes with radeonpro in the past, it did not go so well, from artifacts to a hard lockup that killed my whole GFWL profile
You pretty much have to use a framerate limiter with crossfire. It's not perfect, but you can remove stutter with it entirely.
Anytime you have an average fps of your refresh rate or higher, you set the framerate limit to your refresh rate. Otherwise, you do it somewhere around your average fps (I typically find smoother play if I limit the framerate to just under the average fps).
My tool of choice to do this is Afterburner but Radeon Pro can do it too.
Yes, PCPerspective should have a look, because we've been using this for more than a year and RadeonPro made it easier:
I've honestly found MSI Afterburner's framerate limiter a much better option than Radeon Pro. It more or less accomplishes the same effect but without having to make a profile for each game you want to play.
Also, Radeon Pro doesn't always work with all games e.g. it's currently not working with Crysis 3.
Occasionally for whatever reason Afterburner won't solve the problem, and then Radeon Pro can be a nice backup option.
So the FRAPS shows how CrossFire is bad, but the real truth is even worse - FRAPS was actually doing CrossFire a favor. It would almost be funny if it wasn't so sad.
Could be that FRAPS with Vsysnc on actually give a more honest representation of whats happening.
Have to wait till the full review, as Ryan is not real clear on that.
Yes, and all we heard from AMD was fraps is not showing how good we really are, and "nVidia agrees with us on this".
AMD is the epitome of the disgusting lying corporate crime structure we all know so well since the '08 crash.
A bailout no doubt is in order, it's "too important" to the fanboys to fail, so continuous failure is preferred.

I understand wanting to show the frame time results, but why not include the raw fraps numbers as well. That would satisfy both crowds at the same time.
This is exciting and i wonder if any of the companies will be using this software or helping the community out to test there hardware out even more.
Like if your having a problem they will support you and explain more why their cared is not performing.
In the future will GPU companies be optimizing their cards like they do with other benchmark to sell more or show off the performance?
I wonder, hmm.
You can be certain nVidia already had hardware analyzing this very thing, since they have a Smoother, and have talked about it.
AMD on the other hand said they had no idea, and "everyone suffers from frame time differences and stuttering" meaning they had given up before trying, were incapable of even checking and only got on the stick after being thoroughly exposed FIVE YEARS TOO LATE.
Years of AMD suckage under our belts, of course, for now, it's time for the amd fanboys to claim it doesn't matter while simultaneously claiming it has been fixed and also claiming "amd does best in this area".
I have indeed seen all 3 of those all the time now.
Hey guys, I am a member of the Overclock.net community, is there any chance you could bring your results, after pcper publication, and discuss with some of us more technically inclined on our forums?
I have been unfortunate myself in that I a seem to suffer the super power of feeling the affects of high latency frame rate and have been feeling it since release of 7970s and the entire 69xx generation.
What I would like to do is share some of the techniques I, and many others use, in overcoming this issue and alleviating it. I would love to see the physical results from your testing methodology and see if perhaps what we do actually alleviates, worsens them, or placebos our gaming experience.
Feel free to PM me any time on that site.
Absolutely. Send me an email: rshrout ==at== pcper.com
Wow PC per. Just wow... top job keep it up. I think what you guys are doing is superb. A+++
Owning two radeon 7970s i can only feel very dissapointed in seeing these results.
I mean wtf is going on with AMD and the driver team .. the runt frames at first glance look like attempt to falsify the fps readings , but then a deeper look into the single card performance will tell you that AMD don't need the runt frames to beat nvidia in this game. They just need the same scaling without the runt frames and a more even frame delivery.
Hopefully someone at AMD will see this. It would be great to see how this looks with radeon pro and dynamic frame control .. im sure it would almost fix it completely.
Can pcper please include radeon pro or afterburner frame limit in these types of reviews to see if it fixes the issue .. i mean nobody i know games without vsync anyway.
Just use a framerate limiter. I use afterburner and limit framerate to 60 and it's fine.
I've got 7970s as well and nearly all of stutter is completely removable if you just play with framerate limiting functionality.
Thus the "wins in frame rates" is a total joke.
I can't stand amd or their fans. AMD is better so long as one cripples it and lives with the disability and hacks and endless hassles and total lack of equivalent features.
A stuttering suckobot, it's the greatest...
BTW it's hammered to a pile of humiliated mud when we techs have to work on them, too, another reason I can't stand them.
Endless hours and in the end, the fingers are massively crossed, and for good reason. XML hacking, bios hacking, profile hacking, ATI tool (formerly) Omega drivers, it goes on and on, a bad website, bad information on that bad website, spamming ads in the driver forever (which nVidia has now taken up)...
AMD cannot fold soon enough for me. A restructure and some real leadership could do wonders. How about real communication with the end users and real fixes instead of total oblivion or completely failed promises or retrograde upgrades that rebreak what was broken before and fixed but now arises from the ashes of gehenna once again...
I always need about 3 shots at the bar after "amd video card" tech call day.
Since you are doing a full article on this, you might just as well add some Lucid Virtu MVP 2.0 testing, as Virtual V-sync and Hyperformance are designed specifically for only showing frames that will be seen. Also, I-mode has been working pretty well on alot of games now.
Hello there, I have a few questions about this testing methodology.
- How's this method any good when you're using the screen tearing to measure it? Isn't screen tearing a bad thing?
- How can faster graphics solutions be any better than slower ones when they produce way more screen tearing?
- How can you claim "The basic premise of Frame Rating is that the performance metrics that the industry is gathering using FRAPS are inaccurate in many cases and do not properly reflect the real-world gaming experience the user has." when no one in his right mind would let his screen tear like yours?
- How can variations under 16.6 ms be any kind of a problem when you can't see them in a 60 Hz display?
even with tearing, consistency can be seen
the claim about frame rating is talking about how those fps numbers are an average, not realtime (30,60,30,60,30,60 will show up as 45fps in fraps, but you're not actually seeing a steady 45fps image), it has nothing to do with tearing specifically
me i'm looking for 60fps vsync minimum fps
pcper will test with vsync in the full article, so we'll see what happens
If I'm aiming for a smooth gameplay I don't want my screen tearing like crazy so consistency in these tests is far from useful for most ppl out there.
You're wrong about FRAPS. In fact you didn't even understand how this is being tested. FRAPS reports frame times and that's what's being used here.
PCPer will test Vsync? If the screen doesn't tear their capture hardware is totally useless.
We are going to include tests with Vsync, but keep in mind that basically ALL graphics performance testing is done with Vsync disabled.
That's why yours ain't any better than previous or current testings. You're focused measuring little variances no one will notice telling how far ahead one product is from the other. How having 5 spikes is worse than having 3. You're focused calling AMD liars when following your testing the fast your system is the worse the tearing gets.
It's like testing CPUs in a gaming perspective at 1024*768 resolution. Utterly dumb and misleading.
User experience is about real world, not the same crappy graphs even harder to understand than the previous while running unplayable options like having 15 FPS, screen tearing or your physics messed.
Test frame limiters that anyone in his senses will use if he's having stutter or screen tearing issues. And FFS don't dare to publish ever again a graph where every single card is getting less than 30 FPS. You're miles away from measuring the user experience, really.
Oh, forgot to tell you that cranking up every single option to play isn't a thing that a sensible gamer would do.
Stop preaching about user experience when you clearly have no idea.
How does the capture system distinguishes / timestamps consecutive frames? Does the capture system gets an trigger after the first system sends frame draw data and timetsamps that frame , so it can be saved as new frame? How much delay is getting added?
Excellent work PCPer :D
You'll be my new go-to resource with this type of investigative work going on ;)
Did I missunderstood or did Ryan Shrout said that sometimes a Radeon HD 7970 CrossFire renders frames at near 0 ms !?
Its more like they are displayed on the screen for near 0ms of time.
Great article, looking forward to the full article.
Awesome to hear about your initiative and innovation behind this guys, great work - I am very excited to see what comes of it in the future.
This seems to explain a lot of the reports at [H] about SLI just 'feeling' better than x-fire during game-play experience.
A testing revolution! Keep it going!
This seems to effect multi-gpu more correct?
Should i still go ahead with buying a 7970 ghz or go for a gtx 680 instead?
Good job on the article, interesting stuff.
I think we need a better name for those slivers than RUNT frames. ;)
How about "Framelets"? It makes one wonder if this is another round in the ongoing dance between nvidia and amd/ati to inflate the performance of their products compared to the competition...
90% of players, plays with vsync on, triple buffer on.
these settings removes 90-100 % of stutter.
using RadeonPro dynamic vsync removes the remaing 10% of stutter
useless test for most players. Stutter exist without vsync and frame limiter... who plays with tearing? -.-'
I run crossfired HD 4870 512MB gpus. I had horrible, jittery, performance until I ran across this fix:
1) create a 'user.cfg' file in the root of the Battlefield 3 game folder (by renaming a .txt to .cfg).
2) add these two lines-
RenderDevice.TripleBufferingEnable 1
RenderDevice.ForceRenderAheadLimit 1
This DRASTICALLY improved my frame smoothness. It worked even better when I enabled vsync (we all know crossfire likes vsync).
I've found that some games require these kinds of manual configuration file tweaks for AMD GPUs, and some for Nvidia GPUS (Borderlands 2 manual needed tweaks for my 550Ti setup). I'm starting to think games need to be optimized for AMD/Nvidia on both the driver side AND the game side, and not just the driver side nowadays.
It's possible to avoid microstuttering but here they test only in the same way... very different results from user test with same methodologies.. it seems that they want to show only the "dark side" of amd card.. and green fan are really happy.
frame latency locked to 16ms.
dynamic vsync (radeonpro), crossfire 7970ghz edition on firstname.lastname@example.com.
1080p, very high all, fxaa, no blur, af16x.
don't try this at home... lol
Here's another article which gives frame latency details which seem to support Pc Per's contention.
Wow- This is some amazing work. Lots of sites benchmark, but guys you are creating a superior universal bench and that's huge!
So in case I missed it, when can we get our hands on this utility, I'd love to see real FPS instead of FRAPS avgs.
Also. I see no bias towards NV or AMD on this site at all. I think Josh is sort of an AMD fanboy as per all of his reviews and comments on the podcasts but I don't see any bias at all in any of the articles or editorial on this site.
This is an interesting benchmarking program, I must say... I myself use 2x 4gb 680s in SLI. I'm actually quite surprised at this, but I think that dropped (unrendered) frame would be an interesting spot to examine for AMD's source of driver issues and stuttering... However it isn't a large problem, it would definitely need fixing. I myself like AMD, but they do have issues that need fixing.

Yeah, interesting theory...how about we not let one data set decide all things. mmmkay.
what about testing Lucid Virtu MVP ?
the results might be interesting !
or at least we will finally know what the influence of this technology can be, instead of only speculation
oddly enough, i have not found any tests including Lucid technilogy anywhere ...
(if there are, please provide the link :) )

I've searched all around google and it still doesn't help. I've also tried all my method to make this thing works.
I've tried
- Who is nearest to the Waypoint, its the lead. But it was failed, because i cant figure it out how to make the player knows its ranking.
- Activate when a player hits a triggered box collider and then check if the player which is just hit the line is in front of me, the player rank was +1, and otherwise if the player which is just hit the line is in my behind, i was +1. But i dont use it because all player thinks they are number 1.
- Use Vector3.Dot to check the distance to other player. Not used because of complexity.
- Who is fastest to the waypoint its the lead. Its record time you reached the checkpoint and compare it to other. The Reason i dont want to use this because, i cant figure it out how to make the player knows its ranking.
- Each AI Shoots ray to waypoint. AI Distance value send to all waypoint. Then Waypoint sort the distance. From AI kart, find a distance that has same value with waypointer, and then the waypointer returns it length.
- Use SphereCollider Is Trigger to check distance. But the AI doesn't work properly when i do this.
Do you know a method that works to make a race standings ? please help me. This code making me crazy.
Thanks for any help

Welcome to Gracie's: 610-323-4004
was designed & created out of respect for life & well-being. . . this is the beginning of a message that appeared on our menu at our opening in November 1988.
November 21, 2016, marked our 28th year at this location at1534 Manatawny Drive, Pine Forge, PA 19548. Many things have changed in our lives and on our planet since our "childhood." My intention and the shared intent of those who work with me has not altered. My role is as it has always been, one of supreme passion with regard to my "COOKING" and my ART.
I believe the dining experiences to be a most passionate endeavor, especially now as we move quickly in our more 'cyberistic' lifestyle.
To sit, to relax, to spend precious time with friends, business associates and loved ones ingesting not only the nourishing and lovingly prepared offerings but basking in the warmth shared when we have the community created by the table, carefully set, just for you. A wonderful time to 'slooooow' down and be conscious of every moment shared.
Thank you for sharing your 'vibe', and allowing us the opportunity to serve, create, and learn while along our path.

Sioux Falls Police to Begin New Pettigrew Heights Program – Walk a Block with a Cop
An an effort to build relationships with residents in the Pettigrew Heights neighborhoods has led the Sioux Falls Police Department to begin a summer program called "Walk a Block With a Cop."
Lieutenant Galen Smidt, who commands the Northwest Quadrant, says the program, which begins in June, will have night shift officers spending an hour twice a week walking with residents in the central Sioux Falls neighborhood.
Smidt says they hope to foster an environment with residents of open communication, cooperation and trust:
Lieutenant Galen Smidt Talks About 'Walk a Block with a Cop':
Smidt says the meetings between officers and residents will be held twice a week, from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. from June through September. He says officers have been conducting bike and foot patrols in Pettigrew Heights, and he says the new program is being started to expand those efforts.
The program will focus on the area between 9th and 14th Streets from Minnesota Avenue to Grange Avenue.

Back-to-back titles out of reach as Pembroke Pines Charter falls to Lake City Columbia
Pembroke Pines Charter got the chance to rest and regroup before coming Sunday morning to resume its Class 6A state softball championship game.
But even with the respite, the Jaguars couldn't figure out Lake City Columbia pitching.
Columbia sophomore Erin Anderson pitched 6 2/3 innings of a combined no-hitter with fellow sophomore Ashley Shoup as it dealt Pines Charter a 6-2 defeat at the Vero Beach Sports Village.
Pines Charter (21-4), which has made it to the state final four six times since 2004, fell a game short of winning back-to-back state titles. Columbia (28-4) won its first state championship.
"We've been a team throughout the year, and the kids did a remarkable job getting us back to this point," Pines Charter coach Tom Fadul said. "We had trouble adjusting to their pitching [Saturday]. I thought the break would help us more than them, but it didn't."
The game resumed Sunday after a major thunderstorm Saturday night suspended the game with Columbia leading 3-0 in the fourth inning. Columbia added three runs in the top of the sixth. The Tigers took advantage of three Pines Charter errors and did most of their damage off the bats of junior Kayli Kivstad (two RBI) and freshman Tatum Morgan (three RBI).
"This wasn't best lineup we've faced," Claire Blount said. "It was nerve-wracking being in the final, and I think that's more of a reason why we lost. We weren't putting the bat on the ball."
Anderson continued to shut down Pines Charter's lineup until the sixth inning when the Jaguars finally broke through on the strength of a couple of walks off Shoup, who began the inning.
A wild pitch allowed Courtney Dart to score the first run for Pines. Bridget Blount drove in another run moments later on a sacrifice fly. But on the play, freshman Camila Lopez was caught in a rundown to end the inning.
Anderson came back for the seventh and retired the Jaguars to seal the outcome.
"Our team has gone through a lot of drama this season with injuries," Bridget Blount said. "It was awesome to get back here. We're going to build from it for next season."
Pines Charter took solace in the fact it reached the state final for the second consecutive season despite hardships on and off the field. Blount matured into a reliable starter for the Jaguars after the graduation of star pitcher Cristina Sacramento. And the Jaguars won a tough 4-2 semifinal against Gainesville despite the absence of senior second baseman Victoria Gonzalez, who tore her medial collateral ligament in the regional final.
"It's about team more than anything," Fadul said. "We got here as a team and we lost as a team. But we're very proud of what we accomplished."

Before we made the commitment to add another pet to our family, there was much research and discussion in regard to what breed would be best.
As our new pet would primarily be our son's pal, we were certain that we wanted him to share the experience of raising a pet from the pup stage.
My daughter, whose personal pets are cats she's had since they were kittens, wanted a Lhasa Apso. My husband was hoping for a manly breed, like a Shepherd or Rott.
My favorite breed is Bernese Mountain, but with their short life expectancy and intolerance for Michigan's humidity, not a practical choice for us at this time. Not to be deterred, putting all of my persuasive Mom skills into play, I nearly had them all convinced that my second choice, the Hovawart, was the best option. That is, of course, until my husband discovered their precious price tag! (so close!)
In the end, as was only right, my son made the final selection from the 'parental approved' breed list. Predictably, he chose a Lab. With the breed's typically friendly demeanor and high activity level, we approved, looking forward to the inherent exercise and family walks that would be involved.
Then there is the "water factor"...
Atypical for a Lab, our boy was not always a fan of the water. You can read more about that here, if you'd like.
In any case, our favorite place to exercise our boy is at the local "free range" dog park, where he can run and run to his doggy heart's content and swim like the best of them in the dog pond.
There is a down-side,however...
cleaning him up afterward! Not only after adventures in the dog park, either!
If there's dirt, he'll find it.
If there's something truly unsavory smelling,
he'll roll in it.
And want to cuddle afterward.
I was thrilled, THRILLED, to be given an opportunity to test the Water-LESS Pet Bath Towel, as you might imagine!
While I do prefer a fresh, clean pup, there are simply times...
such as when we leave the dog park and have to load him in our vehicle...
when a full bath is just not practical.
The Water-LESS Pet Bath Towel is a life (and upholstery) saver!
Finally.... a way to bathe pets without getting them soaking wet! Just dampen the specially designed premium quality microfiber pet towel then rub down your pet gently and effectively removes oil, dirt, dust, dander and more from your pets. Keep your pets clean , happy and healthy without the use of harsh shampoos and irritating chemical cleaners. Finish by spraying your pet with your pet deodorizer. No Stress....No Mess! Premium quality microfiber designed especially for pets gets into the nooks and crannies of your pet's fur or hair to effectively remove oils, dirt, dust and dander.
We did not hesitate to put this product to the test on our very next trip to the dog park! True to the claims, it worked like a charm!
