yeah because we all love a 5 or 20fps minimum

New driver ?
Look between the lines. In a few of the games they have AA disabled or TressFX off or are not running maximum settings. In addition, why have they got a £800 cpu running at a stock setting of 3.5Ghz? That's not how you bench a 3/4 GPU setup.
Here's what Thief looks like on a QuadFire Fury X setup.

I could beat their four card score with three cards.
Here's what Shadow Of Mordor looks like. Note, I'm using higher settings than they are.

I could go on, the Battlefield 4 and Grid Autosport scores are miles off too, but i think you get the point.
This is meant to be about the scaling between 2, 3 and 4 cards.
As for there cpu it doesn't mention speed so presumably they are running it at stock speeds which seems a bit dumb considering it's an open bench and they're using an AIO cooler.
I have seen it happen way too much with tech sites where they bench 3 or 4 cards and don't use max settings or the CPU is way too slow or even at stock.
The sort of games I play @4k I can get away with using a single card but when I use the extra cards they do scale and pull their weight.
shame my monitor will only do 60htz.
Starting to get really annoyed with mine now, GTA V performance is terrible, just constant stutters and fps drops, regardless of if i Alt enter in and out, Bf4 is crashing after about 15 mins even with the cards at stock
tried rolling back to 15.7.1 drivers but the same crap happens.
hardware without proper display needs an upgrade today
I have a 2560p 144hz screen and since I wanted one since ages ago (Tolkien age) its good to find they are really good monitors today.
4k and 8k 144hz etc...will make me behind the curve there.
but 120+hz is just to good to pass up.
What message are you getting on BF4 mate? I'm playing both of those games using 2x Fury X at the moment and 4K and they both work well. GTA has some off stutters, but BF4 is as smooth as a babies bottom on Mantle and DX11.
Is your system stable? CPU overclock?
My system system is overclocked matt, but i even put it all back to stock and got the same thing, game just locks up and CTD, with error message Something like "AMDDeviceRemoved, incorrect command"
I did take a pic on my phone but i've left it in my GF car.
It's breaking me bud, GTAV and BF4 and pretty much my two most played games too.
Witcher 3, MGS5 etc have all been rock solid.
It's definitely an issue with either Crossfire the AMD Drivers on my system though.
Have you tried both API's in BF4?
Are the Fury X cards at stock?
Which drivers are you using? Am using 15.7.1 here from amd.com
My system system is overclocked matt.
Cards are at stock bud, i've tried 15.7.1 and 15.8, both have the same issue, not tried Mantle no, you did say to use DX11 so i've just continued to use it.
But what about your system?
Use OCCT mate, if it can pass 64-bit Large Data Set for 5 mins then it's solid
