How did you disable Crossfire?

The little check box under Crossfire-X, I'm guessing that actually just activates profiles and doesn't really disable Crossfire-X ?

Correct. You need to create a profile for Alien Isolation using the game exe A (AI.EXE) and select disable Crossfire at the bottom. No promises this will work as you have a dual gpu card, but it might.

Sadly didn't work, I wish they would patch some proper AA into the game

FXAA should get rid of those, you'd have thought.

I've tried to no avail

Does anyone else get this issue on Alien Isolation? I will test myself when i get chance.

I know, used to run my 6970's that way, and disable CrossFire via CCC taskbar and run the TV through the second gpu as they ran much higher clocks on twin displays but my 7950's or 70/50 CrossFireX would never output via bottom gpu, they would only output via the top card and never tried the 290's, now I just 'win'+'p' to swap displays.

CF worked for me top or bottom on my 3870s, 5970s, 7950s, and 290s. AMD system.

1.7 patch landed yesterday and AFR is still working as it was on 1.6 if that's any help.

Waiting patiently.

This...

That's what I was talking about, for me it happens after taking a stare at the map, you can get rid of it by changing res, but it comes back, exact same thing when I played Ryse too.

Tommy, think I might have sussed Far Cry 4 and AFR mode. Do not use SMAA. I'm using MSAAx2 with AFR, farmes are super good, solid 60fps and great crossfire usage but more importantly, the horrible shadow that you get in the frame has now disappeared. Must be something to do with SMAA and AFR.

BS Dave · 14 Jan 2015 at 17:15

for alien isolation i found the best results were to disable AA in game and run with VSR. 290 crossfire smashes it. 2560/1440 down to 1920/1080 makes things look a look better - and i still get to keep 100hz. I did change the AI profile to AFR friendly but i got flickering like one of the cards was just showing black, i changed it back to standard settings and it works fine so far, no 'nothing on the monitors' problem

Edit SMAA x2 still looks rubbish anyway, and you get artifacts i believe as well as it's a temporal AA

You could try:

SweetFX file 2nd link from youtube as the first one doesn't work:

Maybe it's lucid-which isn't enabled that causes it on Intel side, idk.

Could be onto a winner there, that shadow frame is getting annoying now I'm getting more into the game, I'll try it out.

TonyTurbo78 · 14 Jan 2015 at 23:00

cool, let us know how you get on

tommybhoy · 15 Jan 2015 at 01:11

MSAAx2 with AFR working very well, running 1440p vsr, well spotted tony.

Dicehunter · 15 Jan 2015 at 07:18

Anyone know what Optimize video for upload and share in Raptr does please ?

I've recorded videos with it on and off and there's no difference in video size, Res, FPS or bitrate :confused:

humbug · 15 Jan 2015 at 18:54

No idea ^^^^^^

Must be time for Part 2 of the Omega Drivers, soon?

shankly1985 · 15 Jan 2015 at 19:01

Nar it's nothing to do with drivers.
The option is there on both raptr and AMDs version of the software.

I just disabled it me I didn't want any compression going on. So am not sure if it works or not as I never used it.

Awesome news, pleased it's working for you as well. Ryse son of Rome works this way also, seems it's directly linked to AA and the particular method when using afr

tommybhoy · 15 Jan 2015 at 23:53

Completed Ryse so it's too late for me, Star Citizen does/did the same using AFR, but the Crysis 3 profile was what I used at the time, not tried it recently but don't know if AMD have a working mgpu profile for SC yet.

290x / 290 Crossfire

MSI AB and Crossfire second GPU "290" I cant change the voltage unless I disable crossfire..

Am sure this wasn't the case with my old 290. Can anyone see if you select either cards you can still change the voltage..

Here how mine look

Tried re-installing driver + AB

Uncle Petey · 16 Jan 2015 at 05:09

I can change voltage independently for all cards fwiw. Not that I do.

Do you have 'synchronize settings for similar graphics processors' checked or unchecked?
Do you need to have separate voltage settings for both cards?
