Games with Crossfire Support

[Alam]

Soon I am buying 3 R9 290s and then I would like to see what games have 3 way and 2 way crossfire support also does anyone know if Fallout 3 and New Vegas have support also does the Elder Scrolls series have support for it.

Why do you need 3x 290s? most games these days support crossfire so that shouldnt be a problem

TES has two way SLI support so it's likely to have two way Xfire support but idk about three way. Generally though three way scaling is poor across the board and few games support it and even fewer can support it well. At the absolute most you can expect a realistic result of 20% scaling with the 3rd GPU and that only really shows properly at higher resolutions. I hope you're running 1440p+ or you're results will be rather poor.

That would be an extremely long list. All of those games you mentioned have crossfire support, and pretty much all games coming out will have support. What are you powering with 3x 290s though?

Bethesda are generally piss poor at implementing multi-GPU support, so I doubt either Fallout 3 or any TES game will see much benefit. Not to mention their games are CPU, not GPU bound. So I don't think you'll notice much.

 

3 290s is a waste of time, just get two 290x's.

Most do. Unfortunately some don't, notably Metro: Last Light.

Even games that do "support" it can be spotty at best when it comes to performance.

For example a few Battlefield 4 updates made Crossfire unusable, in that the game would constantly crash if it was enabled.

In Shadow Of Mordor menus are unreadable due to flickering and even objects in the far distance suffer from flickering.

Instead of buying 3 290's you should invest in a higher quality single GPU, you'll have less headaches and better in game performance in the end.

I just ditched my dual crossfire cards and moved to a single nVidia card. Not saying that you should move to the nVidia family, but avoid crossfire as much as possible would be my unasked for suggestion. There are more cons than pros. Stuttering for one, extra slots consumed on the motherboard (obviously), compatibility, more components in the case, etc. 

 

It may have all changed for R9 family but I doubt it.

The performance difference between a 290 and a 290x isn't large enough for me to spend that much more and I am buying the three from my brother for $350
