Does Titanfall support AMD Crossfire?

Crossfire enabled but only shows usage on 1 GPU using Afterburner to monitor.

Does this game support crossfire?

Yes, but the 2nd gpu will likely only see usage if it needs to do work. I think that game has locked fps doesn't it? I know Shankly said it works for him.

Ah ok, so the second card will only kick in if needed. I think it was running at 60fps so probably didn't need second card then.

Got another question LT. Was running BF4 in Mantle with crossfire enabled. Read that Mantle doesn't support Crossfire, but it felt smooth and fluid.

I enabled Direct X to see epic Crossfire performance :p. Now both cards are working in crossfire but game doesn't feel as smooth? Any reason why this is?

Mantle definitely supports crossfire, so not sure where you read that. :D Mantle just feels a whole lot smoother than DirectX. That's all your seeing. It really is like playing a different game at times. Just remember though that the online part of BF4 is quite buggy and does not always reflect true Mantle smoothness. I still find sometimes when playing online on either DX or Mantle that there is a random cpu spike that lowers fps for a split second then it shoots back up again. Some sort of network/server issue i think. Its been like that since they updated the server patch months ago. To confirm that is the issue try the single player part of the gam. If you get zero spikes, you know the issue.

Ok mate, yeah I tried DX crossfire and then Mantle, both single player and online. Game has a kind of stutter in DX. Only in BF4, other games are fine in DX + crossfire.

If Mantle does support crossfire I'll just go back to Mantle. Might as well use it.

Cheers bud.
 
It definitely does support it. Even my geriatric 7970's smash it with Mantle (well, unless using more than 120% scaling at max AA which uses too much vram of course).

Something of interest will appear in this thread approximately 15 minutes time.

Mantle is so awesome that somehow it even makes crossfire work (not at full capacity) in Borderless/Window mode. :cool:

Disclaimer: I did cheat a bit, i ran 4K res to up the gpu usage. There is also a bit of cpu overhead while running it in Windowed mode. This is how it works roughly under crossfire in Mantle when running under windowed mode.

1080P - 60% Scaling per gpu
1440P - 70% scaling per gpu
4K - 90% scaling

Watch in 1080P quality.

 
When I had my crossfire setup it didn't initially but did have some very bad support later on, has been one patch since then and one driver update so not sure what it is like now. :/

Sweet, I'll stick with Mantle then.

Feel honoured Broom, you have a youtube video name after you. :cool:

Almost forgot, i posted a brief Mantle windowed crossfire video earlier. Only getting about 65%-70% scaling per gpu in this but as its at 1080P its still enough to give a lot of fps.

 
Crossfire doesn't seem to be working properly in titanfall for me as neither gpu will go above 50% even though im getting lower than 60fps at 4k.
It appears just to get the exact same fps as single gpu but spread the load to the 2 cards.

Same here. Seems to play worse since the latest patch out today.......
 
Resurrecting this...
I'm having the same problem...
I'm using 3 monitors and 3x 7950s and they will NOT go above 50% usage, so my fps will drop a lot.

Crossfire modes:
Default = as above also FPS sometimes drop to 30 and GPU usage to 40%
AFR Friendly =flickering all around so it is unplayable.
Optimize 1x1 = less flickering, but still get them, around 60% Gpu usage, still get fps drops but as not much as default.


Is it possible to get a higher GPU usage and no flickering?
I'm using 14.12 drivers.
