Posted February 10, 2017 Bought a second xfx rx480 today hooked everything up made sure it was set to crossfire but in the Radeon setting under wattman its only showing my second card running at 300mhz core and 615mhz mem speeds. Also the card will not boot up until I log into windows and then a connection sound will ring out and then the second card will power on. Not sure what's going on but help please!

Posted February 10, 2017 Please dont get me wrong but crossfire is actually turned on at settings maybe manually turn it on and apply then restart and try see again. I remember same issue with r250 and a10 7870k they was mentioned as 7870+r250 dualgraphics but crossfire was set to off. also try to change cards in slots and test each one if they do work as the must as single unit. Then make sure ur mb dont have a bad pci slot buy run a card on each slot. The fact you hear that windows noice is not a good sign btw you need to test each scenario.

Make sure Crossfire is ACTUALLY enabled in the "Global Graphics" Tab. There should be a setting in there. Also, the second GPU running at low frequency / speeds during idle is normal. This is an power-saving feature; the second GPU should come to live as you run a game / benchmark. When running Unigine Heaven / Valley, make sure are you running in full screen mode.

Posted February 12, 2017 i can only say from experiance that is if you see frames like 20%+-up than normal 1gpu on heaven firestrike etc then you do run on crossfire set up. For example i used before i get my xfx rx480 gtr dualgraphics set up with r7250 and a10 7870k amd driver was only displayed the r7 250 ofc thats on apu gpu crossfire. If i was you i would contact AMD for explenations because its posible there is something wrong at the current drivers i would go as far to say to instal some older ones just in case. And if both cards work perfect in single pci-e slots i dont belive the retailer will find any fault to them so maybe they will refuse to take them back since the cards work. So RMA may be an issue. At least here thats how things work. So.. I know things get wierd but if you have a friend with crossfire rdy mb maybe its time to pay him a visit if things work then maybe you have a bad motherboard not gpu's cause as you tested they do work as single units.

Posted February 12, 2017 i just watched an older buildzoid live stream while his attempt of CFX 480 cards and the giant PITA it was during overclocking. the driver would pooh itself, reboot and 50-50 shot it'd finally noticed the CFX to enable/disable.sounds like the driver has gone wonky. come to find out that disabling HT (6950x) and 8-cores gave the better combined test scoring over 10c/20t?

What are the rest of your system specifications (e.g. CPU, motherboard, etc) ? What games have you tested so far? There are STILL games out there that does not support Crossfire and/or SLI. Don't tab out of when you are running a benchmark (e.g. Unigine Valley). Let the benchmark run and finish in full screen, THEN check (the logs) with GPU-Z, MSi Afterburner, Sapphire TriXX...whatever. When you installed the drivers did you: Install the optional Application Profiles? Install the ReLive feature (I've heard caught wind that ReLive recording software can cause issues)?
