Sponsored Links
I had just recently added a 2nd 6970 to my system, and position them in crossfire, I had bring up to date my AMD drivers, and CrossfireX was at present enabled in the catalyst settings, additional than when playing games, I acquire almost no benefit. I have encompassed and gone from 60-62 to 70 in iracing, other than not anything at the entire in a small number of other racing games I play. So, what have I cocked up, or is this just presently a meh moment.

That is the story of utilizing additional than one GPU from time to time it scales, and sometimes it does not and ATI have encompassed by no means actually excelled in the multi-GPU scaling department. Through the GTX460 SLI I had acquire 100% scaling in a number of games (Crysis being one) and in addition in a number of benchmarks, other than some games make completely no use of the 2nd GPU at the entire.

Have you ticked the Catalyst AI function. If you do not choose that with the intention of you determine to observe no benefit at the entire. I have comprised mine on advanced setting, as it forces the cards to render interchange frames, and at the same time as my max fps scarcely changes commencing from the standard setting, my smallest amount fps are much higher. The enable crossfirex checkbox. That is checked. I determine to give the impression of being for the advanced alternative you are on about later.

In this you have to acquire the RadeonPro and tweak the profile yourself. Try Alternative Frame Rendering (AFR) as your initial step as with the intention of often works other than do not be afraid to try games that to facilitate are comparable in nature (F1, grid) and the entire the different modes of crossfire. Perhaps one of those determine to work it often does and give you superior scaling. It is in addition worth noting that in additional games you necessitate to watch for negative scaling. Sometimes it is occurred at least 4 times through the autumn game releases.

Have you inaugurated the Catalyst Application Profiles (CAP). You necessitate these for crossfire. +1 for RadeonPro in addition an enormous tool. I added a second saphire 5770 for crossfire for the reason that I had read superior evaluation regarding ATI/AMD cards and the 5770 in crossfire. I am glad I did. It works a dream. I basically un-installed the ccc/video drivers absolutely and then re-installed and it worked straight away through crossfire enabled. Not the entire software/games determine to be crossfire or SLI compatible, additional than in the ones that are I have originate 90%+ improvements.

Re: After going for crossfire upgrade I did not really gain any better fps

I had acquired the crossfire logo which come into view at the top, right-hand corner of my screen whenever it is utilized you be able to turn that to facilitate off in CCC. I in addition run afterburner through the GPU usage and temps for mutual cards displayed at the top, left-hand corner. It runs a treat. Much superior than I anticipated in both windows XP and Windows 7 64-bit. Try eliminating your original 6970 and utilize just presently the innovative one for an hour to create certain the second card you bought is working fine.

Even on a 16x/4x board presumptuous the 4x slot is commencing from the NB/CPU and not the SB you be supposed to observe scaling much greater than you are presently achieving. It is odd that with the intention of mutually GPU's come into view to be working at 95-99% might be considered at 100% for this purpose yet you are observing no extra FPS.

It is probable that in a small number of games you have v-sync enabled. If the HD6970 was previously achieving 60fps then adding the subsequent card determine to moreover do nothing or might negatively impact your framerate as the CPU determine to be hit harder by calls to mutually cards.

Re: After going for crossfire upgrade I did not really gain any better fps

You be supposed to be observing nearly 100% scaling in games similar to Dirt 2/3. What is your budget. In addition out of interest, how to a great extent Vram has your HD6970 acquired. For the reason that the 1GB vram determine to be your limiting factor. I forgot you have purchased 2x LG IPS231P off me. Anyway I recently purchased a number of U2212HM, and to be honest, there's no differences connecting the 2 screens. I thought the Dell through the similar res as the LG, other than through a smaller pixel pitch would create a big differences.

Additional than it does not. BE supposed to of kept the LG's. I have comprised and been hunting approximately, and the merely boards that to facilitate support x16 x16 PCIe are the top enders, similar to the Gigabyte UD7/Asus Maximums/ Asrock Extreme etc. So you are giving the impression of being at £250 for an innovative board. You might go down the route and pick yourself up a X58 board and a cheap 920.
