Welcome to the forum! Please remember to follow your topics so you're notified when someone answers in my sig you can find links to the CoC and the forum's F.A.Q. check them out!

 

Afterburner should tell you, alternatively you can run a banchmark and compare it to an online benchmar and see if you get similar results.

Like the others already said, install MSI afterburner (if you don't already have it) and look at the GPU utilization. You should have a GPU1 and a GPU2, and both should be utilized (hopefully to 90+%) when you play games or do something GPU intensive.

What's wrong with welcoming people and asking them to follow basic forum rules they might not know about? I ask them, it's up to them to do it or not, it's not like I yell at them or "order" them to do what I tell them. Most people who join don't even know about the follow function, I know I didn't. Eventually I figured out by myself, but I wish somebody told me sooner.

I agree. That is why I have the CoC in my signature. Thanks for what you are doing, people notice.

Would it work to run Valley benchmark and see if gpu 2 is utilized?

Yes, definitely. Or just fire up any game that supports crossfire.

Just look at the GPU usage, if both GPUs have high loads then it is working as intended.
