Alright there, after many years of owning this card, iv had no real problems with fps, but playing battlefield 3 i thought id monitor ingame using msi afterburner how much my card is under stress etc,

And iv just noticed that in every game even heaven benchmark etc, only 1 core is being used??


here is a picture,

you can see where gpu 2 has gone up in load as i opened 2 games to test it, and gpu 1 does nothing, and the tempurature of gpu 1 doesnt go up much only the heat from gpu 2 when its under load.

need help sharpish please

thanks

ill download it now, but im using 11.9 drivers, so surely even with things like heaven benchmark it should be using both cores?

hmm, i havent tried that mmj uk, ill give it a bash if i cant get it working, what i have noticed is that DX9 games, the 1st gpu fires up to full speed not 2d clocks, but its still not under load :(


Also in gpu-z on one core it says crossfire enabled (2gpus) then i click the other one and it says crossfire disabled? :S
 
Alright, got no idea why, but enabling catalyst AI to advanaced has given the idling gpu some usage, so gunna give it a few tests and see if its working fully now

Edit: HAH its fully working, iv never had catalyst AI enabled, Ever since i bought this card. what a noob i am! all sorted now, for the first time ever im using two gpus. need not for upgrading! haha

thanks for the replys tho :)
