    Is there a Profile for DCS1.5.2 DCS 2.0.1, if not where to go to ask for a Profile. The DCS Community has already started a thread at AMD.com, but it so far is being ignored. Thanks in advance for good input!

    Lmfao! :wanker: What was that>?

    Can I answer this one for you guys please? If you play the New Dcs which is version 1.5 and up which now uses Dx10 or 11 instead of 9 in also know as Dcs edge. You now can run multi-gpu Dcs yes but the bad news is Amd cards dont do so well with this title, that is one MAIN reason I switched from a Amd cpu to a Intel cpu and Amd radeon to Nvidia Gtx, All flight sim games my friend perfer Intel/Nvidia its no secret lol.

    I think there is a way to Force crossfire but dont ask me how lol, and even those who have are not seeing the gains brought over by Nvidia Gpus I am sorry to say.:puke2:

    Drop the 15.12 dx10-12 driver dlls in your DCSworld/bin directory

    Make sure crossfire is enabled for applications without profiles. The last few drivers have removed this option from CCC, not sure about 16.2 as I haven't installed them yet. You can use RadeonMod to enable this:

    Go to UMD tab, near the bottom under Miscellaneous, set

    Crossfire For Non Profile Apps Default 1
    Crossfire For Non Profile Apps 1

    Finally, make sure to press Alt+Enter to enable true full screen once in-game. Use MSI afterburner or RadeonPro to make sure that both GPU's are being used. Scaling is actually pretty good as long as you aren't CPU bound.

    A couple more posts that might be useful:

    Yes do not use any driver higher than 15.12, or crossfire won't work.

    Should be able to get away with just using the "crossfire for applications with no profile" option.

    So I am just curious how does Crossfire work for you now? Did you notice a performance increase?

    Wow, that's impressive, 100% performance scaling. I wonder if adding another gpus would scale the same way or not at all.

    No if you add a 3rd Gpu the scaling goes to crap pretty much, or at least that is what I heard. The more you add the less better scaling you get.

    Millibyte that is good congrats man! Have you noticed any Micro-stuttering?

    Hi. Do you know if this would still work today?
    Using latest AMD drivers Adrenaline 2020 and 2x R9 290.

    Thanks!
