A few days ago I noticed crossfire mode is off and PCI-E is down to 4x/2x mode (from 4x4x I think) in GPU-Z. I then tried the 15.8 (coming from 15.7) and all other drivers, all would have disabled Crossfire with "disabled adapter" showing in CCC. The best driver with enabled Crossfire is the 14.3 Beta 1.0 now. It's okay but GTA 5 performance with it is worse since I use custom profile for CF now. CCC shows 16x/16x 2.0 modes, GPU-Z only 4x/2x still.
I tried a different PCI-E slot on my motherboard, didn't change anything. I don't think Windows is the problem. I deleted and installed the drivers many times and used DDU, so that's not it. Crysis 3 works normal, perf in 3Dmark11 is normal, I play or bench with high overclocks, np. Just I can't use current drivers anymore (having CF-profile issues in games, basically game issues in some newer games then) and the 4x/2x in GPU-Z is disturbing me a bit. First it was at 16x8x, then 8x/8x, then 8x4x, then 4x4x and now its down to 4x/2x.
Question: is my HD 5970 slowly going broken or is it just a driver/software issue with CCC/Windows 8.1 and/or even false alarm?
