Treehugger 1 Posted August 12, 2013 I am considering getting a crossfire setup, but I am left with mixed impressions off the little I have been reading about it, and wonder what crossfire users have to say. With Catalyst 13.8 beta drivers out, said to greatly improve on microstuttering issues with a crossfire setup, I think this is a good time to learn about the current impression of using crossfire.

Ezkaton 10 Posted August 12, 2013 I'm using HD7950 in Crossfire and it almost doubles the FPS. Never ever had microstuttering on ARMA 3 either (or most other games for that matter). Never had any other issues. With my HD6950 2gb Crossfire, or my more recent HD7950 3gb Crossfire... regardless of driver version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T6_Gtr 10 Posted August 12, 2013 In all honesty, I dont think it would matter that much depending on the card. I have a HD7950 3gb SINGLE card and am running everything on ultra with 50+ fps. I do have a core i7 3.5 with 32gb ram to go with that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dwaight 17 Posted August 18, 2013 someone on another forum runs it great with x2 titans. "Wasteland Samatra actually runs very well for me. I average 60fps, with max 85fps, and mins 40fps(during heavy action or many people in viewing area). This is @ 7680x1440 @ 96Hz all settings & visibility maxed. This is a map that can actually utilize my 4th Titan as average is closer to 80fps and gets close to my refresh rate 96hz with butter smooth gameplay. Visibility is decreased to lighten the CPU load when running quads." "3930k @ 4.7ghz 16gb 1866 ram Extreme 11 motherboard running 3-way Titans @ pci-e 3.0 x16/x16/x16/ Titans @ 1137/3250mhz Windows 7 Nvidia driver 320.49 7680x1440 @ 96Hz."

smokedog3para 365 Posted August 18, 2013 crossfire on 2 x ati hd 6970 runs way better than just the 1 card on both A2/A3 frames won't drop below 60 with all ultra settings so I would say yes no stuttering either and drivers are fine too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KingScuba 1 Posted August 19, 2013 arma 3 is like 95% cpu, and 5% gpu... so no, not really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lordprimate 159 Posted August 19, 2013 In all honesty, I dont think it would matter that much depending on the card. I have a HD7950 3gb SINGLE card and am running everything on ultra with 50+ fps. I do have a core i7 3.5 with 32gb ram to go with that. hmm, got a AMD 6 core at 4.1 Ghz and two 7950's in Xfire.. and i only get 20fps and below...... I had Horrible frames on release, but just before the beta, the Alpha was giving me OK frames around 28fps. Since the beta i have been playing at 15-20fps...
