Crossfire only affects certain games, and positively at that.

Are you using the Fallout 4 crossfire profile in the games options of Crimson?

Not true, both require proper use of the settings to work properly.

Try using 1x1, make sure to cap your fps at 60.

Videos are like synthetic benchmarks, games require some work to get the best performance.

 

Videos/benchmarks= train tracks

 

Games= streets

You could also try the default profile, and make sure the frames are capped. If not you'll have all kinds of issues.

Does it matter if one gpu is overclocked cuz one is a oc card and one isn't both of them are r7 360 though

Wait, so you couldn't watch youtube with a dedicated GPU? 

 

Is that really a thing?
