Hi.
I've had my two XFX Radeon 6950s for more than half a year now, and since I got them, I've never gotten crossfire to work. I've tried it again and again each time I downloaded new drivers, but eventually gave up and just used one of my cards.
Whenever I turn on crossfire, I get negative scaling, no matter the game. Some examples of games I've tried are Battlefield 3, Shogun 2 and Metro 2033. I'm using the latest drivers and application profiles.
When running the Shogun 2 benchmark, I get around 92 FPS when not using crossfire. When using crossfire, I get around 86 FPS.
I've tried running Furmark, and surprisingly, I get extremely good scaling there. My FPS is pretty much doubled, but I can't reproduce this any games.
I've tried disabling ULPS. I've also tried completely uninstalling anything related to AMD and then reinstalling. I've tried flashing to the latest BIOS version for my motherboard. I've made sure everything is connected correctly. No matter what I do, I can't seem to solve this problem, but it really sucks to just have my second GPU just sit there and do nothing...
An odd thing I noticed is that Speccy tells me that crossfire is disabled. According to the control center, it's enabled, and GPU-Z says the same thing.
Some specs:
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T
RAM: 8 GB DDR3
Motherboard: ASUS M4A78T-E
GPU: 2x XFX Radeon HD 6950 1GB
PSU: Antec TurePower 750W
So... does anyone have any ideas?
