How Do You TRULY Know CrossFireX Is Working??

e_1337 · 04-08-08, 10:24 PM

Just as the title states ladies and gents, besides ticking the box "enable crossfirex", is there a TRUE way to know if it's enabled and most importantly WORKING! lol Thanks guru's!

cabose1227 · 04-08-08, 10:27 PM

Run 3dmark06 with and without cfx enabled. If its the same its not working.

Deanzo · 04-08-08, 10:31 PM

If you run 3D03 at 4Ghz and one card, you will get somewhere around 70K. With two cards it will be around 100K.
On stock gpu volts you wont get over 75K with one card.

Really strange though guys, I ticked CrossFireX Enabled in CCC, it seems to be fine, however, when I power-up GPU-z it says "Crossfire Disabled!?" What's up?

Gunlance · 04-13-08, 01:58 PM

It never recognizes my crossfire as enabled either.

cabose1227 · 04-13-08, 01:59 PM

Did you restart after you enabled xfirex.

GPUZ sucks for ATI cards half of what it says is wrong, 99% of the fixes each version are for Nvidia cards. It is a very Nvidiacentric application.

serch for ati-z

e_1337 · 04-13-08, 05:27 PM

Thanks guys for the info, I'll search for ati-z and see.

Don't bother searching, what he suggested does not exist...

Bad attempt at sarcasm?

lol Kinda figured after a futile 5 minute search! Anyway, I ran 3DMark06 with CrossFireX DISABLED, got 27,459, then ran it ENABLED got 29,061 Is a 2000 point increase about right??

chrome-187 · 04-13-08, 07:54 PM

dam those are some nice scores....wish i could hit that high =/...yea 2000 pts usually means its working....but since you have the x2's in xfire the drivers are not yet optimzed to xfire x2 cards yet...

Yeah I heard that. The new 8.4's are suppose to be up to date....we'll see.

I thought it would have been easy to pick up because ati-z sounds really stupid.

As if GPU-z sounds any better?? How the other odd names for software? For all I know it could have existed. Also, really immature by the way, there was absolutely no need for the sarcasm in the first place.

(I mean the original ati-z comment)

cabose1227 · 04-13-08, 10:33 PM

I am sorry, it was wrong.

CFX is working on both of those runs.

There is no way you can score 27459 on your setup with only one card running.
Some how when you disable it, it's still using most of the 2nd card.

If you took the 2nd card off the board and re-ran with only one card installed, you would be around 23K, give or take 1K.

But with a score of 29061, CFX is working, and working well.

chrome-187 · 04-14-08, 01:47 PM

i took it as one card was getting 27,000...but now that i re think it deanzo is correct...its def working...

Mathis · 04-15-08, 12:26 AM

Ummm, 23k with one x2 in 3dmark06 is still really an awful lot I think. Just my opinion.

Most with his setup should see around 27K with CFX enabled.

29,061 is very strong, for me to hit 30K it took a large overclock and the use of LN2.

@ e_1337

Can you please post screenshots or even better an ORB link, I'd really like to see how your scores were made up.

If you do use a screenshot make sure you can see the resolution and the score breakdown.

Thanks mate.
