Does anyone know if FO4 will have a Crossfire profile on release?

I would like to be able to play at 4K, but I doubt just one of my 290X's will cut it.
 
didnt have anything in the latest 15.11 driver notes about anything relating to Fallout 4 Crossfire, so who knows at this point. If memory serves me correct, FO3 crossfire didn't work. I might be wrong on that though, was a while ago I played it and it might be different now.

Last time I checked there was still no elite dangerous crossfire profile so wouldn't hold your breath.

It will be ready when it's ready and it's not AMD's fault, got that? GOT THAT? :D
 
Rule of thumb with crossfire dont expect to play the game on release. At leats a month or 2 later or in elite dangerous 12 months and still waiting.

You need to consider that Elite Dangerous IS a niche game and cannot even remotely be classed as AAA. The fact it relied on Kicksater to get funded is testimony to this fact. I would love AMD to release more Crossfire profiles for niche games but won't hold my breath.

It's also the reason I stopped doing multi GPU on both Nvidia and AMD, I simply play too many simulations where other niche games and multi-GPU is almost always an issue regardless of vendor.
 
I don't think amd would be daft enough to go without a profile for launch day, they've been fairly good this year with the big releases.
 
Were still waiting for Elite Dangerous to get a Crossfire profile......I've the the previews of FO4 and subjectively speaking it's not exactly a tour de force in the graphics department, I reckon you could get away with 4K with one card with playable frame rates.

^^^^
Very true
Not an AAA title, quite boring game play, yet people screaming about this every single time

Yet Nvidia have had a SLI profile for it for a year now...

Elite is somewhat niche certainly, but it's sold extremely well (perhaps over a million copies based on Frontier's last financial year figures) and has topped the Steam charts a number of times in 2015. That may not be AAA, but its a far from insignificant either.

Anyway, we can but hope for Fallout 4...

Can't really compare a smaller game such as Elite to a huge game like Fallout.

Elite Dangerous = Niche
FO4 = Nvidia sponsored Gameworks.

I would expect a CF profile to eventually work for FO4 but would not hold my breath for ED

As you allude to, sales do not a AAA game make. ED worked for me with Crossfire during Alpha and beta stage but there were minor issues that needed resolved. After release the CF got worse and while I agree AMD need to get their crap together re CF profiles, I would not get worked up about it. Yes Nvidia are marginally better in releasing M-GPU profiles but my own experience (including with ED) was that they are far from the perfection alluded to.
