Hey guys! So, i've had this graphics card problem ever since i got my PC... I have 2x AMD Radeon R9 270X's and basically i have an AMD Crossfire issue. I've tried switching my cards around, turning Crossfire on and off, had downloaded various different programs like GPU-Z... And nothing seemed to work. For some reason, every time i enable Crossfire only one of my graphics cards are working, and when i disable Crossfire both of them are working but they aren't in sync. I also noticed an issue in Radeon Settings. I have the Crimson edition AMD Catalyst and i've switched through different catalysts thinking that maybe that was the problem. Something that i noticed was that when Crossfire is disabled, two windows pop up that allow me to customize fan speeds, see at what temperature the card is running at, the GPU clockspeed, etc. And that pops up for customizations on BOTH of my cards... However, when Crossfire is enabled, only one of the windows pop up that allow me to customize one of my cards... It says that they're linked and that they are in sync, but when i look underneath my computer, the fans on the second card aren't even moving... Also, Radeon Settings says that the fan speed on that card is 20%, even when the fans aren't running at all. This issue has been giving me major headaches, since i can only play games like GRID 2 or Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege on low to medium settings, and not on ultra like i would if both of my cards were working together... For example, when i play TCRSS, it says that i only have 2048MB of video memory, and not 4096MB. The worst case scenario for this would be that one of my cards has taken physical damage in which case... Well, i would fall in A LOT of tears. I mean, this is one expensive card and getting a replacement for it would be impossible. PLEASE HELP!
