Hi all, does anyone know why any EA game from 2013 onwards and through Origin DLC not use my GPU/GPU's (XFX HD 7990)? This is quite strange. Initially I thought it was all Origin games post 2012 but Tomb Raider works, so I've put it down to EA games and Origin. The reason I say Origin is simply because a disc version works. If its a DLC/EA/Origin game, it won't. The games run but they only use the onboard graphics which is disabled in the BIOS. I assume their using onboard because they run @1-7fps depending on the game with either GPU not registering (0%). With the disk versions (non dlc and not via Origin) off friends and they run as they should do, and very well too. With both two and four GPUs @85-100% load running @100-450 plus fps and settings maxed. Any idea's or suggestions would greatly appreciated. I've been at this for quite some time. Origin have even refunded the cost of Crysis 3 since that was the first game I had trouble with but they've left it with me (not taken the games from my account). They oddly refunded me for Tomb Raider too which I told them works. I've since bought bf4 and Titanfall, both of which have the same issue. So now I have definitely found the culprit. I've had no solution/suggestion from Origin. By the way, all steam games work too and I've tried another 7990, and two 7990's together, with the same results only faster with the games that already run correctly. I've also tried them with ULPS off, reinstalled drivers, windows, the games themselves and an array of of different drivers and all games are listed in CCC.
Thanks in advanced all.

SOLVED! After months of sheer bloody nightmarish faffing, I've just read in a FIFA 2015 post that you should disable Origin overlay for some problems. I did that in Origin settings and I worked. Now I can actually play games that are no longer new. Oh well, never mind.
