Run the game in single gpu mode, log fps. Run the game in Crossfire, log fps. Compare results. Crossfire hopefully will be generally higher. I would trust this method over a utility that tells me it is working. You can use gpuz downloadable program which will show you load graphs for each gpu or You could also use MSI Afterburner as happy already mentioned.
Looks fine to me. Who's to say what microsoft has determined to be a 7. May 13, 3 You can turn on the crossfire icon in ccc right click on the tray icon and it will show up in the upper right corner when crossfire is being used. Via Diamond Member. Jan 14, 4, 3 0. But he said - "besides the checked box I thought he meant the checkbox to enable crossfire,turning on the icon is separate. So it appears my crossfire is working fine?
I haven't tested them under load yet. I tried re-downloading and reinstalling, still does the same thing. Any reason why it would give me a windows rating of 7. I assume with a dual GPU card you don't get that option, and I've never crossfired 2 cards. That isn't good is it? The GPUs I got have better than stock cooling on them too As its name suggests, AFR assigns one card to produce one frame and the other card to produce the next frame, and so on.
In the two-GPU configuration, the master card will, for example, process every odd frame while the slave processes every even frame. In theory, this should make rendering the image happen more quickly and smoothly. However, due to connectivity and lag issues, users were often faced with micro-stuttering and, unfortunately, worse performances than those of a single graphics card.
SFR operates similarly in that it divides the workload between the cards, but it does so differently. It assigns each card a part of the screen to render and then relies on the master card to combine the images and display the correct output.
Again this should be on by default, but just double check. Go to the gaming, then 3d applications on the left. Click X in the top right hand corner to close CCC to the taskbar.
Right Click the CCC icon in your taskbar. Go to 1. Tick that like in the picture below. Last edited: Oct 23, LtMatt81 , Sep 30, This will enable you to monitor via a graph on the screen how each gpu is performing while you game. You can monitor its temperature, how much gpu usage it's receiving, in other words - how hard it's working as well as things like core clock speed and video memor usage. It's very handy and i recommend it to all 'advanced' CrossFireX users who wish to get every last drop of performance from their setup.
First of all you will need to download the latest version of MSI Afterburner from Guru3D, which at the time of writing is 4. When you're back in Windows open up afterburner and go to settings. I highly recommend you copy the settings i use below, click ok then restart your pc again. Key Settings Explained Disable ULPS is a handy power saving tool that shuts off your second gpu completely when the pc is idle or not under heavy load.
It's not absolutely essential to disable this, but it can improve performance a little bit to disable it so typically i recommend disabling it.
Enable unified gpu usage monitoring should be ticked to provide more accurate gpu usage readings. As we want to monitor gpu usage to see how CrossFireX is working, this is essential. Setting Up RivaTuner Go to the monitoring tab. Change hardware polling period to That means the overlay will update once every two seconds.
Settings this refresh too low can degrade performance on lower end systems so use with caution. I'd recommend no lower than a setting of Now we need to set up the on screen display itself to show the desired information while we game.

Tick and activate each of the hardware monitoring graphs under this section. Put a tick in GPU 1 Temp, then go down to show in on screen display and put a tick there. Then go to override group name and put a tick in there. Name it GPU1. You want them on separate lines on the overlay to keep things clear. These can be handy to monitor as well, so if that interests you then setup overlays for those as well. Just remember to put them on a different line to keep things organized and tidy.
Note under Framerate and Frametime you're not able to select override group name. So all you do is tick show in on screen display, like so. If you do decide to monitor video memory, system memory and pagefile usage then i suggest you use override group name on all of them, and have the name as MEMORY or MEM in capitals.
If you use the same override group name on all of them it will position them on the same line on screen.
