hey there i have some issue with my R9-290X crossfire,firstly let's talk about the beginning of problem

This is my rig spec
-i7 3930K 4.5GHz
-16GB ram dominator platinum 2133MHz
-Crossfire power color OC BF 4 edition R9-290X with AMD Catalyst Beta 13.11
-1200W stridder gold
-1080p res monitor

my crossfire 290X is super great when running on benchmark 3DMark11
here's the benchmark result http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/7443421

and this is benchmark from my previous GTX 780 SLI
http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/7411536

what a huge different right ?

i thought Crossfire R9-290X is great Cards untill i played Battlefield 4,and crysis 3.

because my crossfire R9-290X just get 50-70 fps on ultra setting (with so much laggy) while my previous GTX 780 SLI can get over 100 Fps with very steady.

with that huge different benchmark score i think at least R9-290X can perform battlefield 4 110-120fps steady
*my crossfire R9-290X temp was 90-94 celcius degree and still can perform 1030MHz engine clock and 100% GPU usage

based on this review at least i can get 110 fps in battlefield 4

what i really want to ask is,why my crossfire R9-290X run very bad with battlefield 4 ? this is just very bad AMD Driver or what ? really dissapointed with this card

Thanks for any response

:puke2:


here some screen shot from crossfire R9-290X

I experience the exact same thing with my 7850 cards. When disabling cf i get better performance. It seems to me that the bad GPU usage in cf happens when the draw distance is great. Like the bunker/undergroup map in BF4 i get awesome performance in CF but in other maps it's totally miserable. I don't know if it's a driver problem, but it must be, because I thought i had a CPU bottleneck with a 6300 @ 4400 but your rig is much more powerfull and still the same problems occur. It's just redicules and even sad considering your brand new cards. (shouldn't one be suffcient when you only gaming 1080p? :p )

You've made mistake of your life. Staying with 780 sli and buying g-sync monitor- that was the way. AMD is not a great option when it comes to multiple graphics card setups. Crossfire is full of bugs.
