So I recently purchased and installed the 295x2, when I look in HWmonitor however, I noticed that only one temp shows up. When I look at GPU, it recognizes that there are two gpus, however while I get a sensor information from one, I do not from the other. This is my first dual gpu card( I originally had two gtx 680s). I'm not really noticing a difference between the gtx 680s and the 295x2 in performance,at least when it comes to archeage, and that worries me a bit. Could one gpu be working, and the other dead?

Either way I attached the pictures

Doesn't the second GPU go into idle when you're not pushing it actively (power/cooling savings)? Maybe that's what you're seeing. Try disabling UPLS and see if that changes. If you're seeing two GPU's in device manager and in GPU-z, i don't think the second GPU is broken.

Game compatibility issues is a whole 'nother thread though. I don't know how well archeage works with crossfire (if at all). You could try running a benchmark program like Heaven or Valley and run MSI Afterburner in the background to see if both GPU's get fully utilized. Narrow it down to the game basically.
