***M18x - AMD Crossfire (Driver Questions, Performance, Problems) Discussion Thread***

[Mr. Fox]

This one... https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bwdq...3M/edit?pli=1# (saved in my own Google Docs, but shared public) ...and this one... AMD Catalyst 12.x (8.980.0 June 4) Unofficial BETA download from Guru3D.com work the best for me. I cannot say that one is better than the other, but they both work OK, and without having to do a bunch of work around stuff to get them installed.

Hi guys, need help with wierd issue. When running BF3 on my 7970m XF, I was able to get into the game. But if I alt+tab or change the video settings DX error occurs as the pic shown I'm using 12.5 driver, everything was fine when I disable XF in BF3, and while on XF other games were also running fine. My system is m18x R2 with 3820qm and 8gb ram, should not get any problem tho~ appreciate if you guys can figure out what problems are!

forgot to say, I reinstalled driver & updated dx11 too. problems still occur

Finally, got my problem solved~now I understand Y ppl saying that if you want to do things well, do it yourself~back to the issue, it was simple, just need to install the cap. So for ppl having problem with gamming on CXF, make sure you install the laterest version of cap.

What driver are you using? There are only two drivers that will allow CrossFire to be enabled that I have found.

Dell's driver. The June 4th driver installs but the CCC panel doesn't install properly. CFX was enabled with the driver because the screen was all screwy.

[Mr. Fox]

See if this one works any better for you. I have it in my Google docs and it works good for my system. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bwdq...wT0ltQ3M/edit#

Thanks, downloading now.

Edit -- same problem. after installing I either have no CCC panel or CCC doesn't load. CFX isn't enabled either.

Guys DOES anybody suffer with Micro Stuttering when using crossfire?

[Juscallmesteve]

yes micro stuttering happens all the time

the reason is because at lower FPS one frame is processed by one gpu and another by the other and it cant keep up

This only happens for me when in a loading screen, ive never had this happen during actual gameplay
