Recently I have tried to crossfire two identical amd firepro w5000 graphic cards. All drivers I've downloaded didn't show crossfire option in Control center. Found one driver where both cards where linked and benchmark shows increase in fps and renderind, but Solidworks and Autodesk Showcase keep crashing. Cannot launch amd control center anymore.

One card on its own works as it should.

Used crossfire bridge cable.

Motherboard Asus Z97-K

i7 4790k processor

16 gb ram

Is there any known solution for this problem. Anyone had similar problems?

Thanks

Why are you gaming with firepro cards if I might ask?

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

He mentioned rendering times and 2 prosumer applications, no gaming here ;)

• NCASE M1 • i5-9600k • GTX 1080 FE • Z370N-WIFI • SF600 • NH-U9S • LPX 32GB • 960EVO •

Then you do not need crossfire to work (Unless it differs from SLI in that aspect).

I just got same spare card and thought it would be a bit of upgrade, but looks like more hassle than luck. No i'm not gaming, 3D modeling and rendering :)

I do not believe that solidworks supports SLI or crossfire, I dont know about the Autodesk products.

you do not need (or should) CFX if you are using them as compute cards. just set each card as the renderer, and voila ;)

Thanks for your answers, I will try your suggestions. Or if I give up, just upgrade to higher spec gpu.
