No CrossfireX option in Catalyst

My setup is a 2700k i7, 7990, corsair dominator 8gbs of ram, gigabyte z68ap-d3 mobo, and a fsp 1010w psu.

I get 60 fps in battlefield 4 on ultra maxed out settings. If that's normal for a 7990 then it's fine.

Are you using vsync or an fps cap?

It's on unless application specifies. I don't think i'm using an fps cap unless its in the game settings. 60 fps and lower is my average.

I'll try running it with it off.

With unlimited fps and the latest drivers (13.11 beta 9.5) you should be seeing around 60fps+.

I get 48 stable fps in Tashgar on the campaign. It rises to 81 fps but not stable with vsync off in game. I'm on the same drivers. I hope that's normal for crossfire.

If it shows crossfire is enabled in gpu-z then it's enabled, right?

Perhaps you can try installing an earlier version of ccc by itself over the version you get with 9.5?

I'll try that in a moment.

Windows 8/8.1 is the problem im afraid. It does not affect Windows 7. If you follow the advice Petey posted it will fix it, couple with the certificate advice i mentioned earlier. If it worked for Petey it should work for you. Unless you're jinxed of course, in which case get away from me before you bring me bad luck. :p

Yeah I kinda think I am. Just now I lunched Shogun 2 benchmark on 9.5 (which I had done 1 million time before) and suddenly CCC poped up and asked me if I want to enable xfire which I did but of course the benchmark froze at a black screen then PC restarted, after that... of course xfire is no longer there.

It is obviously a software issue but I can't quite get red of it.

I installed 13.11 WHQL on top of 9.5 and it worked but again black screen and restart then it's no longer there.

I've tried every possible combination, formats, flashing bios, every possible freaking thing, I don't know what to do now, perhaps I should have stayed at the green camp tbh...
 
You installed only ccc? Tried uninstalling 9.5 ccc and installing 13.11 ccc by itself?
You said you disabled driver signature enforcement too didn't you?

Bit odd really... If you can install 9.5, then it should be there :confused:

Have you tried using radeon pro or CCC to set up a custom profile for Shogun 2?

I couldn't deselect drivers etc when installing any new version on top of another, either the whole package or none.

Yeah the disabled driver signature trick I have already tried.

In CCC and Radeon Pro customer profiles I couldn't see an option to enable CrossfireX to the application, presumably because it is not there activated in CCC originally.

There must be some kinda software conflict here, because as I explianed before the option does sometime show (and I try to reporduce the events but magically doesn't again), and it is there on WHQL 19.09. But after the format CCC was the first thing I installed to isolate any other variables and still didn't work. So unless driver software is conflicting with the win8.1 software, which it should not since all other people are fine, this is just unimaginably bad luck.

What's also to note is that my temps on drivers that do not allow me to enable crossfireX are 56C for GPU1 and 38 for GPU2 on idle, whereas when I installed 19.09 bother were setting at ~38C :confused:
 
Sorry, I meant installing 9.5 without ccc and then installing 13.11 ccc (or whichever one worked for you previously).
Then again, as you say, it sometimes shows what ever you do with whatever version...
 
I just tried another 7990 and it worked flawlessly!!! My card now can't even enable crossfre even on the older WHQL drivers which initially worked. The other 7990 ran crossfire fine on both Betas and officials.

Problem is: I purchased this card from overclockers in 30th Oct (when it had the sale), and didn't install until 2 days ago when I built my whole rig together, would I be able to return it now??

Only if it really is faulty. This is a bit of an odd one tbh.
Do they perform the same in a variety of benchmarks?

It is for a friend's friend so I couldn't keep it for long. Just wanted to quickly check whether my card is faulty. His card worked on Beta and official drivers. I'll write to overclockers now, hope there will be something to do.
 
The problem precisely is that the 2nd GPU shows as a disabled adapter under the primary adapter in "Information/Hardware" in CCC, not sure if this says more about the problem I'm having. I tried disabling and enabling the GPU from device manager but still nothing...
 
RMA'd and been notified the card has been sent to the manufacturer for repair/replacement, which could take up to 28 days. So much for my gaming plans during Christmas.. but what could I do, just my luck :).

Thanks for you guys who tried to help.
