Crossfire Help in Shadow of Mordor

[rak526]

System is in the specs. XFX R9 280X in Crossfire. Using the current Beta drivers, support for Shadow of Mordor was listed last year, shortly after release. When the game fires up, the menus and loading screen ramp up both my cards to the 1000mHz max, but once the game loads and starts, the second card drops to 300mHz. Running in 1080p @ 120hz, currently on medium settings with just the one card.

I tried googling the issue, but everything that came up was from before there was crossfire support for the game. Any help is greatly appreciated.

youre running crossfire - nuff said

^This alone is probably your main problem right here

Only thing i can really suggest is make sure the bridge is connected properly, Make sure that it was a clean driver install. and check the profile in the 3D applications menu to see what AMD have done with the profiles.

Ive had games that ran perfectly in crossfire that suddenly start ghosting, BSODing and CTDing after a clean install of newer drivers - turns out AMD broke the crossfire profile of a few games but would never admit to it. Problem was fixed by rolling back to the previous drivers.

It seems the rule of thumb with AMD drivers is if everything is working, dont update to newer drivers unless you really really have to as the newer drivers might break something.


This is as far as i can help you being a former AMD & Crossfire user.

I do agree. Crossfire has been horrible. I'll certainly be getting a single card next time around, but until then, I would like these to work, especially on games that are 6-8 months old.

Crossfire does work in other games currently (GTA V, Diablo 3), but I've had more than a few problems. BF4, Bioshock Infinity, and the last Batman game.

Driver was a clean install. I'll try a previous driver when I get home tonight. Hopefully that doesn't break Crossfire for GTA V though.

Do check the 3D profiles in the AMD catalyst settings though, I dont know if catalyst is still laid out the same way as i left AMD a good while back but here....

I think forced crossfire setting is 'AFR mode'


Create a new crossfire profile if you have to
