Hey there! I recently Crossfired 2 Radeon HD7770's (Both the same), I have been experiencing that GPU 2 is stuck on 99% when playing games or watching video, this causes heat.

I would like a solution, I use Catalyst 13.9 W/ 13.5 CAP1. These are both official so i'm not sure?

My Specs:

Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3
AMD Athlon II x4 640
8GB Kingston HyperX Blu 1333Mhz
2x Sapphire HD7770's 1100/1200
Antec GX-700 Case
FSP Bluestorm II 530W

Is it because im running at x16, x4? Or my PSU? Or drivers?

I can't work it out?

Thanks!

Thomas.

Are both of your cards identified in Device Manager? Does your system show that crossfire is enabled and that you are not running on just one card?

They are both listed and Crossfire is enabled.

I think I fixed the issue though, I downloaded a program that disables ULPS and that seems to have sorted it. I'm gonna post a dedicated thread to the fix to see if it helps other people.

Thanks for your help! :)
