CrossfireX question

[FreezeFlyte]

I have a quick question about crossfireX. Do i need to install multiple sets of gpu drivers in order to use the second card or will both run on the same set. I ask because i was clearing out the old amd drivers and installing the new 14.1 catalyst drivers and noticed that the preformance suffered as if i went back down to one card. So i checked the gpu tweak monitor and noticed that settings had changed and that the cards no longer read as the exact model but as just AMD R9 200 series instead.

No you just install once, it is normal to show series instead of exact card (which I find to be very irritating)

Make sure crossfire is enabled.

I have crossfire enabled along with the badge in the corner telling me when crossfire is being used. But is it normal since amd uses its 0 core tech to shutdown the second card? Because i have ran unigene valley with both cards and i use evga precision X for my monitoring software and it only showed the the second card was running at 300mhz instead of the 1120mhz the card is clocked at?

No idea why that is happening.

^{I'll say I had to play with the drivers like crazy with my laptop that had an apu and an extra dedicated card. Some months it was happy with the dedicated driver... sometimes it was happy with the apu driver. I played with it every 3 months or so. At one point I was running fusion tweaker and had Driver San Francisco running very well. I took it too far and threw it at folding on the linus team and after 3 months it died... but fuck that it was an awesome death lol I think it was rated at 2.2 ghz and I ran it 3 like a champ.}

 

^{Anyways... I bet the R9 and R7 drivers are very beta and mantle and APU... yeah is amd is gonna give up dedicated card for the sake of not doing so many drivers?}
