Crossfire isn't working for me in Witcher 3, Crossfire disabled yields between 27-34fps or so, Crossfire enabled is ~ 17-34fps with flickering also. Not sure if my CPU is to blame.

I noticed ulps doesnt work with 15.5.
Anyone else having the same issue?

It is working here, but I installed the Gaming Evolved client by mistake and this seems to prevent the second GPU from sleeping when running. The second GPU shuts off as soon as I exit GE. You might be seeing the same thing.

What build is the d3d driver in this release? Wondering if it's newer than the latest windows 10 one

Does the stuttering occur if afterburner is not running but CCC is?

Can't think of any logical reason why CCC would cause stutter, so my guess is something else is causing it.

It looks like it is the afterburner monitoring that may be causing my stuttering, if I pause it then the games are fine.

Turn of AA in post processing in game. Mine was the same until I turned that off then my fps doubled. Theres still quite a lot of flickering though which is a shame as stated in the driver notes.
I would have rather they just release the witcher 3 profile when it actually works properly. I tried to stick with the flickering for a few hours but it spoils it too much for me.

Have you followed our support guide KB? This will help you ensure CrossFire is working properly.

Disable TemporalAA
Double check you're running Full Screen Mode and not Borderless
Disable in game AA

For extra perofrmance disable NVidia GameWorks effects, HairWorks and HBAO+. Alternatively you can keep HairWorks on, but remove the excessive tessellation with the slider in Catalyst Control Center.

Interesting. Try enabling Unified Gpu Usage Monitoring, or try increasing the monitoring time to 3,000. Or perhaps you're trying to monitor too many things at once, try removing some.

Should I disable ULPS in MSI AB matt? Does it offer any improvement in game performance?

Cheers Matt. I did do all that but still had the issue, will have another play with the settings and see if it can be improved.

If I raise the time to 4000-5000 it's fine, and only monitoring 12 items, I will just disable afterburner only use it to lower the volts anyway.

No performance deficit these days, only really applies to Crossfire users as you can better monitor gpu statistics and control second gpu voltage with it disabled. If you do disable it with a single gpu then it will stop the gpu going to sleep and it will stop the fan from moving when the monitor light powers off. I'd leave it enabled with a single gpu.

Nexus18 · 29 May 2015 at 19:32

Ok will leave it enabled, thanks again

bemaniac · 29 May 2015 at 19:46

Oh...............I clicked install and my 295X2 pretty much imploded. I now have a large watercooled brick. 280X works but no signal whatsoever from the 295X2 now

Hello not read above but have you tried using DDU display driver uninstaller from guru3D?

MyBrainz · 29 May 2015 at 21:03

Worth installing these for a single 7950 then? Or is this just for W3 n Pcars profiles?

Not sure just me but gta5 and mortal kombat x seem much better.

I have the same issue. Also Raptr tells me my gpu isn't compatible for auto driver updates. I forget the exact wording as not sat with it but it used to tell me what drivers I was running in the top left.
