Stick with the Fury X's. Now stock is improving the prices will be dropping. Plus anyone that's read this thread or any other's where you've mentioned issues will likely be hesitant to buy them.

Plus, if people buy your Fury Xs second hand then they won't be paying AMD anything and AMD need all the money they can get by the sounds of it!

Anyway, the problem(s) probably not AMD's fault it'll be something else to blame

Pointless reply and helping no one.

Yeah pcie 1 and pcie 2 3rd slot is the correct way..
Is it possible though to test them in another system or is that not possible?

Apart from that am not sure what the issue is.. Do you know anyone else with furyx crossfire? Maybe they can test battlefield 4 gta5 etc

Both games work fine.

AMD are lazy and that is that.

There is no evidence whatsoever that that Elite Dangerous is actually capable of working in Crossfire. And if it can't there's absolutely nothing AMD can do. They just have to wait for FDev to fix whatever issues are preventing Crossfire compatibility. But given that the Elite Dangerous web site prominently displays an NVidia TWIMTBP logo I wouldn't hold my breath for that happening...

Dumping on AMD for Frontier's inability/unwillingness to fix their game for Crossfire is stupid. Far better to dump on them for the Win10/SuperCruise slow down bug, which is AMD's fault and has gone months without a fix.

I would mate tbh you best trying to rule out as much possible it's not something else..

I bet the last thing you would want was to sell up and buy 2x 980ti only to find yourself in same situation because of something else was to blame.

uksoldierboy · 23 Oct 2015 at 19:39

I don't want to sell up at all, especially after investing in freesync.

All the other games I've installed and played work flawlessly, just tried Witcher 3 again and it's fine, awesome scaling, fps etc.

Not one crash ether, the game proper pushes the cards too so I'd imagine if one wasn't stable or was faulty it would show up.

Nah Win7 here. Won't be going 10 for a while I don't think.

Come on Dave, how can you possibly resist Vader AND the Snoopy Dog!!

Will even throw in massive overclocking and voltage control

Ah, maybe that's why your issue free.

Jedi stop it!!! Lol I won't turn!! I WON'T!!

Dave......*I* am your Father.....

I'll give it another month and you'll be Force Lightning by Christmas

You know it makes sense.

Unfortunately with nVidia not supporting a-sync causing a divide on the monitor market - effectively locking users to a GPU brand based on their monitor purchase... it makes zero sense for him as he has an async monitor

As will I on Monday, bwahahahaha ;D

How was star wars battlefront? If you played it.

Not to my knowledge mate
I remember matt saying Frontier need to fix it as there is nothing they can do their side or something on those lines. I know AMDMatt said frontier need to fix it. Not sure why though.

So sad he said it twice,
Uh-uh-oh,
AMD AMD,
Now isn't is a pity what they say about AMD ______.

I couldn't think of an ending

I thought the supercruise slowdown would have been sorted by now. That sux

A tactic I learnt from you!
80 something replies and you pick on mine.

Regarding the issue, is Windows Defender running?
I've heard it causes some issues on Win 10. I think generally it causes lag, but just wondering if it may cause different behaviour in different games?
I think some anti-virus' will disable it when you install them (as I think they do a similar job) but if you don't have an AV or it's not one that disables it, maybe it's worth a try?

I get this, frameshifting causes a lot of stutter and slow down.

If you learn from me then you be more helpful.. I always try and help people on here.

Most you probably just think am defending amd drivers but the fact is am not. I been using pc long enough to understand a crash isn't always what it seems..

For example
I had driver Stopped responding while playing games the avg person would just blame drivers the fact is the issue was much worst a damaged stick of RAM.

Troubleshooting pc issue takes much more testing than just jumping at what you think the issue is..

I didn't just pick yours at all you replied to the thread I replied back.. It was pointless, just like most of your posts.

lol, did you say that with a straight face?

Well you'd know about pointless posts!
I didn't reply to your post though, so you picked mine when you could've picked from many others.

With regards to Elite being an Nvidia sponsored game and thus won't ever get Crossfire, I'm not sure they're connected. I'm sure there are TWIMTBP games that support crossfire, so TWIMTBP can't exclude the game from using crossfire. Maybe AMD need to offer to help the developer to add it? Maybe they already have and the developer isn't interested? If that's the case, not much AMD can do. I'm a little surprised that DX11 allows enough transparency that the 2 mGPU types have different implementations.

uksoldierboy, I realise you're not stupid and will have tried the obvious things but these things can be hard to pin down, especially if there are no error messages.
So, Is your PSU up to the task? (Wondering if that's why individual cards are fine. You've probably got the PSU listed in your sig, but I can't see that at the minute)
Are the power connectors individual or are they those ones that have 2 connectors on 1 cable? (Can't see why this would change when just using a single card, unless your setup is odd.)
Have you used something like OCCT, Kombustor or EVGA OC Scanner (not sure if that works with AMD cards) to see if they can pick up anything?

Were you running the same hardware under Win7/8 before your Win 10 upgrade? Did you get the same error then?
