Hello Everyone,
Yesterday i received my second R9 295x2. I benchmarked the card standalone and it works great. When i try to go crossfire with the original card, I get one of three outcomes from which i have found this far. I'll go through the steps on what i did when i installed the second card.
I fully powered down and unplugged everything that was on the computer
Opened the case, pressed the card into PCIEX1_2 slot
Plugged in power cables, THIS MAY BE THE ISSUE. I used two 8 pin connectors on the original card, then running off of those 8 pin connectors is two 6 pin and two 2 pin connectors. I utilized those connectors and made sure to install them in the proper orientation. Maybe the card is not getting enough power? In that case, i may need to get a fully modular psu.
Closed the case and plugged all of the hardware and peripherals back in.
Turned on the computer, noticed the second cards on board fan was spinning very rapidly in comparison to card one.
Went to AMD's website, installed the drivers.
Restarted the computer. Both fans running at relatively the same normal operating speed.
Tried to start "Bioshock Remastered", screen went black for about 10 to 15 seconds and then I get the blue screen
THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER
I went to the internet for a solution and found on a different thread that people have used a program called "Display Device Driver Uninstaller". I ran it in safe mode, then went over to admin mode to install a fresh driver. After the driver installed, Bioshock Blue screened again. I tried "Grow Home" and it would hang at a black screen, then crash the computer. I also tried the new DOOM and low and behold it ran! i played 5 minutes of the campaign and i was sitting around 100+ FPS.
Anyone have experience with this?
