crossfire question

[Benass]

Can any one give me some info on crossfire .

I have 7950hd card. Got is broken , fixed and now using it in my new pc tower.
I have 5600x with b550 aorus elite.

Also I have two r9 270x identical cards.
(Fixed) working.
I putt One 270x in my rig linked with crossfire And it didn't change a thing.

Same benchmark Results, same fps on conan exiles.
It's like crossfire Doing nothing.
Yet while benchmarking Both GPUs were 100% loaded and heating my room nicely .

So what's up with that. ?

Crossfire is pretty much dead now. Most games need to be programmed to support it, few are and even those that were, were liable to hitches and issues. I bought a new PC 5 years specifically designed around crossfire, 2 x 390Xs and it was the biggest disappointment of my adult life. After 2 weeks of hellish disappointment and frustration, OCUK were good enough to let me return the 390Xs and replaced them with a Fury X. You could probably find a list of some older games that support Crossfire doing a google search but you won't find many from the past 5 years or so I wouldn't think.

I see.
It kinda makes sence.
It looked like both gpus were working, but no performance gain. so its down to a games.

Yeah it's a shame really, nothing looks more bad-ass in the PC case than 2 GPUs, but that's about all they're good for. Well apart from benchmarking.
