    I have tried to set it as afr friendly and bf3+4 profiles ..it just will not activate 2nd card at all even with the newest drivers which have the game ready profile already.

    seriously thinkin about buying the 1080ti an fooking this crossfire/sli bullcrap off!

    anyone else tried it yet?

    thanks

    That's not really an answer though.

    Have you tried the standard DDU procedure with 17.3.2?

    Uninstall the driver using the Control Panel, download and install the latest version of DDU, let it run in Safe Mode, select Clean and Restart, install 17.3.2, restart and make sure that the game shows in the list of your games in Crimson.

    Registered just to say this:
    It's not working for me either. No matter what I change, Crossfire doesn't change the FPS. I think it's not even working.

    I did install latest drivers with DDU before.

    You added the correct .exe, right? I don't currently own the game, so I don't know. Is this a DX12 game? If yes, what does it do if you disable crossfire from the AMD panel?

    EDIT: Run the game in DX11 (if it has DX12), and try to enable the Dragon Age: Inquisition profile for it.

    there is no crossfire profile in the most recent drivers yet.

    just an application profile.

    BIG difference.

    sli/crossfire not yet working.

    Battlefield 1 took one month after release to properly support both SLI and CFX.

    so considering its day one of release... maybe i would think about that.


    also small hint. since its a gameworks title.
    you wanna make sure to adjust tessellation down to gain back a lot of performance:

    http://www.pcgameshardware.de/commoncfm/comparison/clickSwitch.cfm?id=138193

    that applies to both NV and AMD hardware. (same as with hairworks in witcher 3 for example.)

    it doesn't even give the 2nd card a lookin even if you select afr friendly which it should do regardless of profiles, there are 2 .exes aswell tried both.

    iv also created a .cfg file in game folder as the same edits for bf1 work with this because its frostbite3 to enable dx11 ...still nothing.

    yes that's fully possible.
    there are several games that behave like that when the rendering path prohibits using a second GPU for the time being.

    wait for a profile and respective game patch.

    fact: you cant use crossfire in ME:A as of this moment, not even through manually setting a cfx mode.

    Mirror Edge Catalyst never had a crossfire profile and the engine is the same.

    All other Frostbite games did though.

    ME:C is a gameworks game which have SLI support. ME:A is also a gameworks game, so let's see.

    Consider yourself lucky if you have the pleasure of worrying about CrossFire. I have HALO 1 quality visuals pooping over the high quality base. It's extremely immersion breaking, confusing and leaves me frustrated if I expected to see some eye-candy instead of blotches on the screen (happened during my first trial hour when I expected to see that "3D crystal web in space" in full quality which looked awesome on the trailers but looking out on the windows during that shuttle flight reminded me to the opening of HALO 1).

    I tried to pop in an RX480 8Gb next to my resident (watercooled and thus hard to remove) 290X 4Gb and it was basically the same (I didn't even think about crossfire, I used the 480 as my primary GPU during the test, just to see if 4Gb VRAM is the bottleneck and going to 8Gb would solve it).

    My finger is resting on the trigger to get a GTX1070, even though I am well aware this is pretty much the worst timing for that (I should have either bough the GTX a lot sooner or now wait for Vega) but this is pretty much the only game I care about this year (at least so far, something unexpected might come around later).

    what a graphics card it is aswell plays most of my games lovly at 1440p all maxed without AA

    get 100+ fps with lowish settings and textures ultra happy man

    The new patch (1.05) that just got released enables CrossFire.

    I will play the game and see how well it runs. I will report back later.

    Light quality seems to mess with CrossFire performance/scaling. If i set it to low i get much better scaling and it doesn't stutter.

    EDIT: setting the framebuffer format to 64bits is an absolute must. If i set it to 32bits i don't get a nice and stable 58FPS (locked it to 58 to stay beneath the FreeSync range). With 64bits its stable and i get better performance with the same amount of scaling.

    Just to illustrate the difference. With 32bits i get 32 FPS and with 64bits i get 58 FPS (maybe even higher, if i didn't lock my FPS).

    EDIT 2: maximum scaling so far seems to be 87/87. It didn't get any higher than that. The game feels very smooth. As long as you keep light quality at low. However, i'm running around on the nexus and that area isn't that demanding.

    EDIT 3: Temporal AA is messing with CrossFire as always. You might want to turn that off, because you will lose alot of performance if you enable it.

    EDIT 4: I don't know why a got stuck at 87/87 before, but both cards are definitely running at 100% now.

    "Temporal AA is messing with CrossFire as always"

    I still dont understand why AMD cant fix that issue---it crops up on FO4 too, and my 1080s in SLI seem to be immune to it. The Titan Blacks (780ti with 6gb of ram) I used to have didnt have an issue with TAA and SLI in FO4 either. I understand that in order for TAA to work it needs to contact the other card's rendering info to compare past frame(s), but I dont see why Nvidia can handle it and AMD cant. Maybe the bridges actually DO serve a purpose after all?

    Having same problem with 295x2. Not even worth running crossfire runs just fine with 1 gpu. So ready to bin this card for 1080ti
