anyone else finding issues with overdriventool? just reinstalled it as I wattman does my head in and it wont let me change the target temp to anything other than 78°c....if I set it to say 70°c when I hit apply it goes back to the default 78

Need to use the beta version. 0.2.8 beta 1 I believe.

Will do

Am I right in thinking that waterblocks dont exist for non reference cards?

For the Nitro & Strix yes. I believe there is one for the red devil also.

Is Vega 64 crossfire worth it ?

Is Vega 64 crossfire worth it ?

Wouldn't say so given the devs have to be the ones to enable it these days.

I do have them. All the games I have they work.
Buy a Vega 7. I remove the comment because I will have to spent the next few days providing proof.

Not true. Many games either support Async compute, or you can just create custom profile.

It is true on a game by game basis. You may be able to do workarounds but they're not guaranteed to work properly. Pretty sure bfv for example doesn't support either sli or crossfire, at least not officially.

That's not quite true is it Panos mate how's it working in World Of Tanks

True but at 144fps is not needed

I bet there are plenty of games in your library were crossfire isn't working to a satisfactory level or even not working at all. Multi gpu is all but dead, might get a game here or there where you'll get some scaling but plenty out there were it's a black screen, microstuttery, flickering unsupported mess.

Only thing Mgpu is good for is benching.

No

Vega64 = fantastic DX12 card.

DX12 = really poor game dev support for mGPU.

I've used crossfire enough over the years (7950 and again 390x) to know it's now a crap shoot and a ballache for gaming, been there done it, glad I've seen the back of it.

Best people to ask would be the card manufacturers when it comes to DX12 mGPU.

How many dual cards have you seen from either NVidia or AMD lately, zero.

No point making them if game devs don't support mGPU.

I really really hate this topic, crossfire is awesome I have it I love it and I get really really angry when people say it doesn't work or there is no support, and I feel you when you say you spend the next days proving it. I have done this over and over but no matter how much 1 person who has it proves it there is always 10 jokers that have no idea using 10 other jokers opinions to push that its garbage
Yes there are some games that don't work with it but 80% of the games I play do, some of them work amazingly

That's all I'm going to say

i have my reference 64 up for sale, reckon its worth keeping and x-firing? i only have a b350 board, is it worth it?

The last crossfire setup I had were 2 R9-290x's. Some games worked great but most didn't. That doesn't necessarily mean crossfire didn't work, but it produced issues that made me turn it off anyway.

I've not bothered since so can't comment on newer titles.
