Crossfire in Elite...
- Thread starter eyetrip
- Start date
this is very exciting, as I obviously can throw away one of my Amds on the other computer 
I dont need it is running at bla, bla fps on a single 7970 all at max , well done AMD ehhh NOT.
Nvidia bites the dust
Sarcasm off : Amd works just fine in Crossfire, (all Macs use AMD's )
Check your settings, always full screen among one.

Yes, definitely in full screen.
I can get three cards "active", but there is no performance gain and lots of flickering.

Want to try that again and make some sense?
Do you have crossfire, and if so, are you actually seeing a gain in FPS when crossfire active vs disabled?
And just because Macs use AMD cards... does not mean they are using crossfire. You do know thta crossfire is more than one card, right?

Very weird ... I thought Crossfire was working in ED, if this is not the case then why the hell not? I'd like to know too now, as I was thinking about buying another card so I could get 4k at decent FPS.

Well I run with Max setting on a AMD HD7950 and get 60-120 FPS @ 1920x1080 - so I can't say that I have problems. I am looking at going towards 4k soon, and ED is on the top of the list of reasons why, but I like team Red, so I'd like to know the answer to the OP's question.

I've filed multiple bug reports on this, they are always closed after a while. I have two AMD 280X. ED does not even start with the graphics settings I would like (that I use in non-crossfire). If I disable shadows totally, game starts but fps is not really influenced (1-2 fps higher in station). ED without shadows looks like crap.
There is NO crossfire profile for Elite: Dangerous in any of the Catalyst drivers. It runs worse on crossfire ( I have 2x 290's) than on a single card. And this 6 months after the games release. Something stinks.
Indeed it stinks. But the fact that there is not even a profile for it makes me believe AMD have simply not even bothered to look into this game.
I am really close to calling it a day with AMD, but I have three 8gb 290x's watercooled, so I will be taking quite a hit on what they cost, plus all the hassle of dismantling, and putting new cards in...
Just want to know where the blame lies.
Windows 10 could be our saviour. Can you use a VR headset? If so the new headsets from HTC/Valve and Oculus use duel screens. DirectX 12 allows each card to render per eye. I am pretty sure our R9 290s can handle this. Hope so.Just to be clear I am referring to the consumer versions not the dev kits.

How much less? And is that inside a station?
Not sure how it's working when there is no profile at all.
I dont remember the exact fps. I remember that i was running in 2x super sampling and was quite a lot

I was forced to use radeon after my nvidia broken. I get these 2 free from a Friend. And after playing many games i have to say that radeon drivers are really bad compared to nvidia

Crossfire logo appears in top right hand corner when in full screen mode.
Both cards increase in heat level when the game is running.
I don't know about actual frame rate though, I couldn't find an option to show frame rate. Someone tell me how to do that?
-seems- to be working, though.
(R290x, two of em.)

Ah, you get a logo when CF works and you monitor temps but not FPS? That's really weird, but anyway, use MSI Afterburner to monitor everything you'd ever need to know about the cards. I'd recommend FPS, frame times, GPU(s) usage on the OSD.
