Ah, I had that. Unfortunately, I can't remember exactly how I sorted it
Can you post of pic of your AB settings? Might ring a bell

No need at the moment, although a couple of my games might prefer SLI tbh
Btw, I take it that the slight voltage tweak is still working for you?

Was - I had the same issue after bumping it, was 1.5 hours into a COH2 game and it keeled over! The only thing between CSS & COH which is different is the core fluctuation!

The core clock dropping is causing that instability i reckon Snips. As discussed offline, fire me over that dxdiag as soon as you can.
Soldato
Driver controlled?
Caporegime
It's something that should be able to be fixed at driver level I'd think. That's why i need your dxdiag so we can investigate, replicate and fix.

Just had a round of BF3, 1 hour 17 mins, and the clocks are static, no fluctuation. Seems to vary between games

As I have been using my XFX 290 for a while now instead of my MSI 780, playing BF4 I think the game looks better ie the reflections in the heli cockpit seem clearer and sharper too ...also after getting out of my head the "omg the card is getting so hot " I set up a fan curve...and in game temps dont go over 68c and idle the card sits at around 40c
Here is a piccie

Ooh, didn't know they lit up like that.
Soldato
well it should be a white light....but I made it red ..although I would have rather had the lighting on the side of the card

How would you guys say crossfire's working these days?
TBH I'm pretty happy with the performance from my single 290 (gaming @ 2560x1080) but wondered as new games are released and extra power is needed will 2 provide a smooth and fairly trouble free performance?

Interesting comment on the difference of image qualiy as i too notice amd just look a little bit nicer and first noticed it at lan partys but in fairness to nvidia ive not seen one in action for a while
Soldato
Yeah and in truth I'm a little miffed about it as my 780 was nearly £100 more lol
Normally as always, depends on game and the support.
I normally stay away from crossfire/sli due to one card always less issues.
I rather lessen some settings than have to start tweaking stuff.

I meant to also add that even when watching films with VLC they seem to run more smoothly too

Any reason the GPU usage in Alien Isolation is up/down? The EXE just crashed also, not sure if this is something to do with it.

Enable unified gpu usage monitoring snips in afterburner. That stops the wild gpu usage fluctuations. Wonder if that will help your other issue too.
I find it bizarre that you need +13mv for that clock when i was using -0.037v with that card 24/7. What's also weird is the stock clocks for it our 975/1250, not 947/1250. Have you flashed a different bios?
Soldato
Yeah, bit strange. Mine do at least 1050 and probably a fair bit more on stock voltage fwiw. Oh, and mine are 947 at stock too. Had no idea that was odd.
