Crossfire poor GPU scaling with BFBC2, very strange fix that worked for me

for catalyst 11.8 +cap

I spent hours and hours researching for a possible fix and found nothing other than "disable crossfire"

My issue was that bc2 was only using about 40% of each GPU which is clearly very poor and happens to be a very common problem

I tired every possible solution until I found someone said there was an issue with steam overlay, I disabled it but found no improvement.

I decided to install BC2 via Origin and believe it or not, it solved the problem, I knew it wasnt a hardware issue as other games ran perfectly well. With Origin my GPU usage is up to about 70-80% each, frame rate tops out at 120 with vsync most the time with everything on max and direct x 11

If anyone else has this problem plesae try this and let me know the results, hopefully this is the issue.

Did you read the post lol? It obviously isn't a problem, Im over the moon with it, when I run BC2 with steam I get about 40fps, when I run it in Origin I get 120fps on the same settings and I have a 120hz monitor, thats why I want 120fps...

All I was saying, if people have the same issue, try running the game on Origin not Steam

Sorry my knowledge is quite limited Im afraid, how do I do that?

I get between 50-90% usage mate and I have it through Origin also. Happy with 120fps at 6000x res

does it run as well for you with steam?
