Elite Dangerous Crossfire

bloodkil · 22 Jul 2015 at 20:30

Before anyone asks, I know this has been discussed before but failed to find a solution.

As the title says, has anyone managed to get crossfire to work and actually increase FPS in Elite Dangerous? I run at 4K, so crossfire is almost essentially in gameplay.

Cheers!

Not to my knowledge mate

I remember matt saying Frontier need to fix it as there is nothing they can do their side or something on those lines. I know AMDMatt said frontier need to fix it. Not sure why though.

Sadly not. It runs well in SLI but no Crossfire.

TNA · 22 Jul 2015 at 20:36

I would be interested to hear from AMDMatt/Joe regarding this. Can we expect a crossfire profile for this game or should we be getting in touch with frontier?

I've been asking for a while, but it just keeps getting tucked under the rug. Ticking me off a little bit to be honest.

Might try tweeting Roy or something and see if that makes any movement.

No, i never said that mate. What i did say was I've requested a CrossFire profile for this game and that as soon as it's ready I'll shout about it. Unfortunately it's not made it into our 15.7 drivers, but the driver team is aware that it's a highly sought after profile.

Poor eyetrip waited so long for this that he ended up going 980Ti SLi!! I gather he's now happier than a pig in ****

Game's only been out a year, give it some time ffs....

Yep, this is one that got away from us Si. Hands up.

However other CrossFire profiles that have been delayed previously, those issues were out of our hands.

Even though they had SLI support? Lol

Not trying to be coy here

Several surfaces in recent games (you might see a pattern here) contained surfaces that were unfriendly to CrossFire, hence we chose to disable that profile until the issue was fixed. You do the math.

Hopefully AMD will get this out soon, I gather it's a popular game

AMD seems to be losing market share "in buckets", you do the math!

FreeSync Math.

It's been requested Si. As soon as it's ready, you'll hear about it from me i can promise you that.

If you're referring to FreeSync being delayed for Multi GPU then yes, we delayed it to get it perfect. We'd rather take this approach than rush stuff out the door only to have to release a new driver next week to correct other issues that arise from a rushed driver.

That's cool. I realllllly love AMD hardware, it really is first class. I'll be checking back again for Arctic Islands, that's for sure

Any news on Fury X stock bud ?

Thanks Si, we appreciate your loyalty.

Sorry Dice, i don't have access to expected stock levels. Gibbo is a good guy and the man to ask about this stuff.

Thanks for the update Matt, let's hope it's soon, my second card gets awfully lonely when playing ED!
