What I don't understand is, where is this fallout 4 crossfire in the pre defined crossfire profiles??? It's not there. there is no fallout 4 crossfire profile, so is it invisible and why?

Tried sapphire trixx out, not bad, not sure if it is placebo or not but I thought ROTTR felt smoother.... Just wish it had an overlay like MSI AB/RT and slightly better UI.

Steam FPS counter and screenshot system is ok, we need a button to enable/disable it in game though...

Maybe they use FO3 profile? Engine hasn't changed that much since FO3.

Matt, are you guys aware of the issue with overclocking? I used to have MSI Afterburner start at windows startup and apply my overclocks on windows startup which its done for as long as ive had my 290x.
However even since trying crimson out it started black screening me at windows start screen.

Only way to fix this was load into safe mode and un-install crimson. I later found that by disabling MSI afterburner from loading windows startup and disabling loading the overclock profile at windows startup while using crimson it would stop this issue of black screening from happening.

I had the same problem after i updated to crimson, i tried everything to fix it but it just kept coming back after a few restarts. I ended up just formatting and reinstalling windows, i now just use AB for the monitoring and for the RivaTuner FPS lock, i do all my overclocking with trixx. Havent had a black screen since.

There is no fallout 3 profile in there either Shanks.

i find overclocking with trixx is more stable than ab, well for me anyway

Could just be the wife's annual check of Matt's credit card statement!

Hate to spoil the speculation (always fun to read

) but I'm about to make a purchase that involves a hefty deposit.

Not all CrossFire profiles are exposed in the pre-defined list Tony, some are embedded in the driver.

Matt, is there any need to turn off ULPS in windows 10 anymore? I just reinstalled and did a quick test run before i turned off ULPS and it was running fine, i then tested a few overclocks and pushed the cards but still no instability and they just seem to run fine now.

I dunno if anyone else is getting this, but i used to get instability issues when i forgot to disable it before.

I disable it for Fury X CrossFire because i can't adjust the voltage with it running, but if you don't adjust the voltage then it makes sense to leave it enabled. It's a clever power saving feature.

I don't use apply overclocking at startup as it creates a lot of problems.

I would recommend using the 2D/3D profiles featuring and saving your profile and auto applying it with that.

Silly question - would the 3d profile then activate as soon as you fire up a game?

Of course. That is why there are 2D and 3D profile options. If you only use one profile for everything then you don't have to use the 2D/3D profile settings at all since the gpu will run at the settings specified in the main AB profile.

Whoa, how did you manage to get unlock voltage on your Fury with AB? Beta version?

edit: thats odd, AB is not showing any updates in application you have to check the websites manually
edit2: downloaded, it works!
@Dygaza: cheers

Cool, trixx lets me adjust voltage without disabling it.

I'm unsure if it's something to do with the last driver but in the past my temps have never exceeded 77 degrees in any game. Tomb Raider now has it at 82 degrees and my fans do not speed up showing a max of 28% according to gpu-z during the last gaming session.

With my Fury Tri-x I have never touched the fan profiles as it has been fine until now, Always under 77 as mentioned, In the past it speeds the fans up when it reaches 75 which always stops the temps from rising further by the time it reaches 77 degrees but the fan do not appear to be speeding up like they were doing in the past.

Nexus18 · 5 Feb 2016 at 12:30

Well I have uninstalled MSI AB and RT now.

Now I use trixx for undervolting my gpu and keeping an eye on hardware usage (shame I can't get an overlay for this though) and steam for screenshots + FPS overlay.

Nice being able to see VRM temps with trixx too.

New version of AB has voltage control for Fiji.

Woot. Lets see how far the Nano can be pushed...

With the hotfix driver I am no longer getting missing geometry and flickering when running crossfire in FO4 but I am getting stuttering. Any solution to this guys or anyone else experience the same thing??

Thanks!

Thanks. Will have a tinker with that later

It might be cured by setting the fps in the fallout .ini file to 59 or 119 or 143 《 depending on what hz monitor you have.

Google shows how to do it.
