Crossfire Graphical Glitching in All Games

[Etrious3422]

SO i recently had to update the cruddy Crimson drivers when AMD released new ones, it kept giving me notifications to do so, and when I tried it out, none of the games would run, so I did a rollback to 16.4.2, and now the games run, but with the screen becoming unplayable, random striping in the screen that would scroll up very densely would obstruct the view.

Currently running two R9 270x's in crossfire with an AMD FX 6300 cpu and 8GB of ram, which for most of the games I play should be okay, but when I start them, it just keeps happening when crossfire is enabled in fullscreen. I could run borderless, but then the game becomes too slow to bear with only 2gb of vRAM.

Anyone else get this issue and/or have a solution?

I do not have an answer for you but I tried to crossfire two 280x's and had similar results so I just said screw it and sent back my second card and have just been using one since then. Much easier and dont have to worry about all the mess. Just sitting here waiting for newer, better GPU's

Have you attempted to check both gpu individually?

Yep, I've been up all night putting them in the slots then pulling them out individually, top slot, middle slot, bottom slot, they work fine on their own, its just crossfire, buggy as all hell.

Dumb question, but if I recall correctly the R9 270X still used Xfire bridges. If that's the case, have you tried another bridge?

Yeah, they do. Though I don't have another bridge on me. For some reason one of them came with an SLI bridge instead?

Eh, I'm heading to Micro center soon, I'll try and find one there.

Don't skip any old boxes of hardware lying around your place though, Xfire bridges usually make their way into anything.

I have the only two Graphics cards in the house sadly. There's some really old Radeon HD's out in the open with no boxes and that's about it.

Aw, poo  . Would just be a shame to actually go out and buy that piddly little thing .

Eh, maybe one comes with the R9 380 I'm getting for a friends build. Does MSI usually pack it with those?

Newer AMD cards do not use bridges, are you using two identical 270x?

Actually no, but I jiggled the bridge on one of them and it fixed it. Just a bit loose on one card I guess.

 

One's and XFX and one's a Sapphire, and they both have the headers for the bridge

So all is working well now?

Yep! No graphical tearing at all in crossfire mode.

 

Thank for the help all!
