Hey guys, After getting my tri card set up I saw that alien no long runs xfire. So adding the profile and such and setting APR Friendly I started the game, Screen goes black for a minute then computer restarts. Any ideas?
 
The profile which I didn't even know existed does fix the restart however, 40 FPS avg on all 3 cards? Lul I think I might have to disable xfire instead for now.
 
I did a clean wipe using DDU and installed 14.9.1 because I was having problems with all 3 cards running. With the clean wipe and new drivers it runs any game crossfire prefect but things like BF4 and alien don't see any improvements.

BF4 on all 3 cards dips down to like 40-50fps

Where is alien will sit at 50, then 40 and sit around 40fps..

Is there a issue with them being two different cards? One being a 295x2 and one being a 290x? It's a reference card as well so I expected them to have no problem at all but I feel its not helping anything.
 
Hmmm, People say crossfire don't work in window however all 3 cards are being used in windows mode. Does it have a effect on FPS anyway?
 
One small issue... Computers, These boxes all display black screens. I can hear the screens clicking away when I move the keys but some profile has made them bug out??

Scrap that last part I think I fixed that.

Anyway, yea BF4 still runs like crap on fullscreen with 3 cards.

52 Fps on a good day, 35-40fps normally on any map. Ultra settings. 1080p screen. Kinda expected more ? Lol

Is this because this game runs like trash anyway? lol

It did help, I rarely go under 60fps but its still no use. Considering it dips below 60fps on one screen and I wanna play BF4 ultra on 3 1080p screens. Is this just not possible with 3 GPUS? Do I need 4? Tad terrible and also the flicker is really starting to annoy me ¬,..,¬

Could be CPU bottleneck and negative scaling due to the low resolution and what PCIE rate are they running at and have you tried setting the BF4 Mesh quality to medium as its a CPU hog.

I've been lazy, gonna be up'ing the CPU to 4.5 soon since it's under watercooling.

Will have a look at the mesh but would a I7 work out better or no difference?

Also in terms of PCIE Rate, No idea.
 
I swear to god, Does nvidia suffer from these issues... Lol.

Borderlands pre suffers from breaking up/struggling sound/music now.

Alien is still bugged with computers etc.

BF4 runs like crap.

Flickering textures on a lot of crossfired games.

Overall I don't think it's me anymore, I've tried everything now to fix the countless issues I've been suffering. About to call it and ditch in for a 980 just for the bloody drivers, Any ideas on all these issues then?

Something's up on your end mate. Just been playing BF4 with trifire and it works just fine.

I dunno about Alien, as I find a single card is easily enough unless you're at a silly high res.

I run 3 screens normally so i need that extra fps kick

As for bf4 i have no idea whats wrong with it.
