That's normal, play the actual game and you'll see why we have a AMD profile.
AFR Friendly is faster, but it has flashing texture issues.

Just how the benchmark runs. Works fine in game.
Yep.
In this title, AFR Friendly for benching and our official AMD profile for actually playing the game.
Ok, cheers for clearing that up
This is fairly common by the way, our Crossfire profile won't always be the out and out fastest, though it is in most cases.
An official profiles alleviates common issues that present themselves when more than one gpu is used. Flashing textures, stuttering etc.
Fair point, override is a better word to use.
Sure. Gimme 5 minutes.
Screen in spoiler
Disable MSAA (it's bugged) and Fur. (GameWorks)
Did you use the recommended tweaks i linked to earlier?

Thankyou
Read the Crossfire bible.
EDIT
Sorry for the DP.
Cheers bud ill read over my Sunday feast
Good man.
If you get issues, see my post below. Disable all GW's features.
You can try lowering draw distance and yes, the Crossfire profile for Dying Light is disabled so you'd need to create a custom profile if you want it to work.
April.
But........ will they be ready?
Just kidding.
But, out of curiosity, are things going to be held up until crossfire is working on Freesync, or will other updates be worked on in parallel and released separately if needed?
If it's the former, I at least know to curb my expectations, but if the former, I will allow myself the tiniest hope of having crossfire in Elite in April...
I honestly can't say as I don't know, but the Crossfire FreeSync driver will contain other improvements that we've been working on in the meantime.
I'm having serious issues in FC4.
I've done the stuttering fixes, Matt suggested. I have found that with the official farcry 4 crossfire profile, gpu usage fluctuates massively between 50% and 95% on both cards. As a result, the frame rate is barely more than with crossfire disabled.
I have also tried the AFR profile, and it gives better performance, but massive flickering everywhere. The 1x1 profile seems about the same as the official profile.
I have tried a variety of in-game settings (setting everything at Ultra, Very High, and high) and see the same effects (obviously frame rate is higher with lower settings, but the very erratic and much lower than it should be.
Here's a couple of screenshots of the afterburner graph taken immediately after shutting far cry down, to show the effect.
Any ideas how to fix this?
It occurs whether I'm running in eyefinity resolution or 1920x1200.
Can you show us a screenshot of the in game settings from Farcry 4 and your Afterburner settings please?
Here they are. I know afterburner's not the culprit though, because I have tried without afterburner running, and with radeonpro instead. I have not used afterburner and RP at the same time.
Here's afterburner settings.
The ingame settings from my last two attempts: these are exactly what you get if you choose Very High and Ultra from ingame menu, and then disable motion blur (not shown).
Try the following please.
Afterburner: Enable unified gpu usage monitoring and disable ULPS. If everything works after this you can re-enable ULPS.
Farcry 4: Disable Fur (GameWorks)
I assume you did the mipmap trick as shown in the videos below?

Yes, I had done the mipmap tweak already.
Okay I did the changes you suggested to afterburner, tried another run, and then made the fog change, and tried another run.
I am still seeing the same thing. Here's the graph from the end of that last run.
It seems like the GPU usage settles to around 49-52% for short stretches, then starts rising up to mid 90s and for a while fluctuates massively before settling back to 50%-ish for a short while and then starting over.
Right, this works smooth as a babies bottom locked at 60 FPS with 2x290X 8GB running underclocked at 1000/1250, stock is 1010/1375Mhz for these cards.
Copy my settings and see how it works for you. Run your gpu's at stock for now as i see you've overclocked.
Sorry Bradley not sure. If i had to guess I'd say that was perhaps an engine limitation with the game as there seems to be many similar reports online of people experiencing similar issues.
The stock memory speed is 1500? What gpu do you have?
It seems to smooth out performance in this game. Funnily enough it helps single gpu users too.
What resolution are you using Bradley?
I get no drops at 1440P with the following settings, 60 FPS locked.
At the following 4K settings i get drops to 48-55 every now and again, but mostly it's at 60fps locked.
Those drops disappear to 58-60 FPS with draw distance at 0.
At 1080P-1440P it's plain sailing.
This is using 2x290X under clocked and a custom profile of 1x1 Optimize.

Yes but that won't make any difference. This engine uses one thread, pure cpu Ghz speed will make a difference more than extra cores/threads. Currently my 5960X is at 3.5Ghz.
Oh, fair enough I've not bothered to check cpu usage to see if it's balanced recently.
