Ah yes... I do recall that now and I just realised I'm running v4.8.2...

Anyway, check AB OSD and let us know how it goes

Guess ill use 4.8.2 then when this is sorted, one problem atm I do not have any games installed which use crossfire as i just reinstalled windows. The one game i do have installed needs crossfire disabled to run properly.

Download Heaven/Valley or maybe try the GPUZ render test perhaps?

Click the ? next to the bus interface box. At the very least, it'll tell you which cards are running and at what bus speed.
Also, does GPUZ say whether xfire is enabled/disabled at the bottom?

Ok so after you re-installed windows you still dont see an option for Crossfire?

Are you sure you second GPU isn't just broken? and windows is failing to see it altogether?

Do both GPUs work ok when there alone?

Loxa · 14 Dec 2014 at 19:56

Apprently my computer is missing d3dx9_43.dll to run the render test.

I can run them in crossfire and seperately fine with 13.9 driver

I trust you're in the process of googling that?
Looks like we're getting somewhere at least.

Try installing this: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35

I had that error a while ago, installed that and it went away.

Just got the same from a quick google and thanks.

I don't have the option to disable crossfire either Loxa, but it is working fine in game fwiw.

Uncle Petey · 14 Dec 2014 at 20:06

You won't have the option on a dual chip AMD card. It was the same with a 7990.
Making a specific game profile was the only way to do it IIRC.

Loxa · 14 Dec 2014 at 20:07

Ran the render test on GPU-Z and the second card stayed at 300mhz core / 150mhz mem (38c). I thought with crossfire disabled the second card was meant to be completely idle? I.E no fan spinning.

Really, I thought the option was there with my 7990. That's was quite a while ago mind you.

Does it say whether xfire is enabled at the bottom of the GPUZ window?
Have you rebooted?

Download Unigine Heaven or Valley and set up AB OSD.

Maybe even reinstall drivers.

Pretty sure it was.

It ses Disabled at the bottom.

You are probably right Pete, my memory is poor to say the least.

Loxa said:

It does seem odd that it works with an old driver. Does every driver you have tried have the same issue since 13.9?

How?? didn't even know it could do that on its own lol.

I have no idea lol....but when I booted up my system to get ready for BF4 ....thats the message I got lol

Uncle Petey · 14 Dec 2014 at 20:19

I dunno mate... I get the feeling that this is hardware related even though it works with one specific set of old drivers.
It's certainly not normal.

Maybe Matt can help if you send him a DXDIAG log to pass on to the team perhaps?

slick rick said:

Yeah, me too

I do recall that it was one of the reasons I preferred to stay with a pair of 7970's fwiw.
That, and dual card pimpery of course.

shankly1985 · 14 Dec 2014 at 20:22

I just cant get my head around this either.. Even with a fresh windows install its still doing it...

Am with pete on this one and calling an hardware issue.. But why only one driver? lol very confused.

That is weird, hopefully AMDMatt can shed some light.

Haha, pimpery, that's a new word I have learned.
