!!!Profiles Bug with Crossfire!!!

Hello everyone. I wrote about this in the bugs thread and got no answer from the developers.

I really want someone of the developers to write their opinion about it. Am I wrong?? Is it a bug actually?? IS IT GONNA BE FIXED?? COME ON DUDES!!

Once again, the problem is described below:

The Crossfire 2d/3d mechanism does not work as it should to. 3d clocks apply fine, but when it switches to 2d mode only 1 card downclocks to the desired powerplay clocks and the other one stays at default 3d clocks of ccc.

I found out that this is not a problem with rivatuner server which does the profile switching but with the profile mechanism itself in AfterBurner. Thats because if i manually apply my 3d profile by a keyboard shortcut and then apply my 2d profile it does the same. It takes to apply 2d profile twice via keyboard shortcut to make both cards downclock to powersaving clocks. Which card will be downclocked correctly has to do with which one is selected in AfterBurner window (if then i select the other one it downclocks too).

I no longer comment endless AMD driver issues then listerning to bashing from AMD fanboys, sorry. Everything ignored by developers is ignored for reason.

Unwinder, first of all thanks for the reply. So it is a bug in AMD drivers! huh??

No offence, but even if that's the case shouldn't your exceptional overclocking tool fully working or you trying to do so with MSI 5870 cards too? I spent about 700Euros in these MSI cards and i thought that any issues should be at least reported and maybe developers like you should give it a go in a feature release.

My opinion is that MSI Afterburner FIRST OF ALL is supposed to work as it should with ALL MSI configurations (Crossfire, SLI, ...) even its AMD/ATI cards or your beloved NVIDIA ones.

P.S1: I don't think i act like a fanboy and don't treat me like one.

P.S2: Even more, I think that the solution to that issue would be as simple as something like double(for crossfire specific) checking clocks after applying them and then setting them again.

P.S3: I think I'd better make a script to fix the issue myself for now...(Yes, I'm a computer engineer & Informatics developer, and not just a fanboy

)

My bad, had to ignore it seeing caps lock on / bold fonts / question bumping and "you must make it working for me". Won't do such mistake again.

Whatever.

I wrote down the issue because it actually exists, it can be fixed easily, and affects all Crossfire users , not just me. It's up to you to fix it or not and make MSI Afterburner a better tool for everyone.

P.S. By the way, your ironic style makes my day for years now as a reader
