hopefully it was isolated, we'll just leave it at that for now.
Crossfirex compatibility chart driver#
We again tried all three driver batches, even reinstalled and patched Crysis to the latest build. Heck I've seen other sites posting results. It was so silly, as I know it should work. Whatever we tried it did not show performance improvements. To date the game will mot run with multiple GPUs.Ĭrysis was the other title. We fired off the press-driver at the software, the official 8.6 driver and even the 8.6 Hotfix. We surely had them as for example Frontlines would not even start. With multi-GPU setups, you are bound to run into problems as well.

Now you just need to install the latest drivers, give her a reboot and you are good to go. Once you have your system ready you can have CrossFireX powered up (do not forget to apply the proper power cables), and you are ready to roll within a minute, as it really is that easy to do.

It's not that your PC will consume that much power, it's just that you want to make sure your PSU can deal with the hefty load and will stay stable during you entire gaming experience. Honestly, I recommend a PSU of, at the very least, 750-800 Watts.

Please make note of the fact that the card uses two 6-pin power connectors.Ĭrossfire is something else though, you add another 130-150 Watts power consumption, and about 8 AMPs of that on the 12V rails during gaming. Also recommended is 32 AMP's on the 12 volts rails for stable power distribution (in a single card configuration).

In my view a single Radeon HD 4850/4870 series requires you to have a 500 Watt power supply unit at minimum if you use it in a high-end system, and I think that's barely on the safe side. And that sounds more simple than it really is as you need to be aware of your PSU limitations. Now it's a question of connecting the power supply connectors. We start by inserting the two cards into the upper x16 PCIe slots. Our test will be conducted on an ASUS P5E3 DeLUXE mainboard (a way too expensive mainboard). I do recommend you to have two x16 PCIe slots on your Crossfire ready mainboard (any mainboard with multiple PCIe slots that is not NVIDIA). First off we are dealing with high-end gear today. That way you can replicate the situation at hand at home. Typically I want articles like today to be some sort of small do-it-yourself guide, so let's talk a little about installation. This review will show CrossfireX performance results throughout the benchmark sessions based on two/three GPUs rendering the game.ĭoin' the business - The CrossfireX setup So you see there are many methods where two or more GPUs can be utilized to bring you a substantial gain in performance. Alternate frame Rendering, each card will render a frame (even/uneven) or Split Frame rendering, simply one GPU renders the upper or the lower part of the frame. There are multiple ways to manage two cards rendering one frame think of Supertiling, it's a popular form of rendering. if you are familiar with the hardware developments over the past couple of years you'll remember that 3dfx had a very familiar concept with the Voodoo 2 graphics cards series. We bridge them together, install/update drivers, after which most games can take advantage of the extra horsepower we just added into the system.

Today for example we place two ATI graphics cards into a Crossfire compatible mainboard. Okay so, just like NVIDIA's SLI, ATi's Crossfire, is where you add a second similar generation graphics card (or in more GPUs) to the one you already have in your PC and effectively try to double, triple or even quadruple your raw rendering gaming performance. is there anyone on this website who doesn't know what SLI & Crossfire is ? Okay I tend to get a little repetitive with this question, but honestly. Ma man - Explain zet CF mode you tolk aboot ?
