hello all,
I have recently got two XFX 5770s and have set them up in xfire. I am using a MSI Neo2-FR mobo, I know it is p35 and I only have x4 second lane but the cards were a good price and I still would get some performance gain over just one.
Problem is that Xfire isn't working properly. According to MSI afterburner, when Catalyst A.I is enable on standard or advanced, when running a game the second card is doing most of the work, 100% GPU2 usage 30% GPU1 usage. Obviously with the second card running at x4 the lane gets too saturated and my framerate drops. With A.I disable GPU1 and 2 are used on loading screens and before game menus but GPU2 is not used at all when I am actually playing the game.
I know there is a another thread with the same issue, conclusion was buy a different mobo, but surely there is a way to get Xfire to use both cards/Change which one does most of the work?
My full specs are:
Q6600 ~3.2GHz
4GB DRR2 860MHz
MSI Neo2-FR P35
2x XFX 5770s standard clocks/voltages
OCZ 600w StealthXtream
Catalyst 9.12
Any help would be appreciated!
