Question about Crossfire GPU

LethalTech · Feb 19, 2016

I have a few questions about my Crossfire Graphics cards. Currently I have 2 AMD 7870's plugged into my computer right now. I had a 7850 previously but I went out and got 2 AMD 7870's and had my brother help me plug them into my PSU. So recently I haven't really seen a Huge boost in performance.. I also realised that while there is gpu load on my main card, the second card is idle and the fans aren't actually running. I was told that that is completely normal until a high enough load is placed on the main one, that the second card will start up. My main question is, am I really getting the power of 2 cards or only 1?

Do you have crossfire enabled in your cataylst software? Go load up a game and see if both GPUs are being utilized (make sure you are running full screen mode on the game, crossfire is not supported in windowed mode).

Yeah, I'm currently running The Division. My second card isn't having any gpu load put on it. I can confirm that I am indeed using Crossfire in my AMD Catalyst control panel.

The division is in beta, as far as I know AMD doesn't have any crossfire drivers for that game. Try another.

I have another question. I'm using a Program called "Speccy" to see my specs, and under the Graphics section I see both my Graphics cards, but under those it says "Disabled".. but in my AMD Control Panel I have "Enable AMD Crossfire" enabled. Settings applied and everything, is something wrong ?
