Starting off I have the latest driver 14.12... My battlefield 4 framerate is excellent at around 120+fps at 1440p on nearly everything on ultra.. But just recently I added another monitor to show the map on during gameplay But when I did this my framerate started to have drops all the way down to the high 50s! so then I pull up MSI Afterburner and it shows me only gpu1 is being used(%100) while gpu2 wasn't(%0) Now I started to get a little pissed and confused so my question is what's going on here? Am I doing something wrong? Or is this normal? If so how?

Also whenever I play on my 1080p secondary display MSI Afterburner shows both GPUs at max usage

you may have to enable it through the application, it sounds like the application is reverting it. its common because some games can't run crossfire so it gets disabled, try messing with the settings in the game.

 

also it seems problematic with that game,

 

one of the draw backs of multi gpus

 

here is an EA thread and others, your def not the only one with crossfire issues in BF4

but maybe it will help you solve the issue! :D
