290x crossfire no usgae from gpu 2 ?

[Mr. May]

just put my 290x back in with my other one in my main rig and fired up the heaven benchmark.

And no usage from gpu 2 and low/ stutter fps.

I've up dated my drivers from 14.4 to 14.9 and still no luck ??

Ive also disabled ulps any ideas people want to go crossfire on bf tonight

I have the same issue, even though games utilise it fine....

Am using 14.9.2 betas

I had no end of issues with my crossfire 290's giving poor inconsistent performance - low performance, stuttering and the like. afterburner wouldn't always show temps either for some reason. Every attempt to reinstall divers just seemed to introduce more issues, despite following all the guides for removing old ones etc
In the end I gave up trying to fix it and just reinstalled windows (8.1) and its been fine since, although I haven't had to update drivers yet (I'm on 14.9.2 beta i think)
Everything just works now,

I found that if i turned crossfire off in ccc, then turned it back on before stating up a game I got much better performance (FPS wise) but doing so lost me temp readouts in AB (not too much of an issue though tbh 'cos i'm running them under water)

Yup same here, fine in games just odd in Heaven. Only pity is I like to use Heaven to test stability, can't do so if it's just using the one card

Tried it, no joy

Same here I wanted to see how far I could clock my cards on my new psu last one blew up

 

[BluD]

I had to restart my PC after i enabled cross fire to get it using the second card properly, no idea why.

Just close and restart AB.
