does minecraft support crossfire

[elon]

if yes, how to enable it?

 

[Vandorlot]

Minecraft isnt gpu intensive so it wont help at all and I dont think you can enable it anyway. 

[elon]

Are you kidding?! That’s the best reason to CF I’ve ever seen

 

seriously though, what cards do you want to CF?

Good reason to do something foolish is still a bad decision. Most of the time, going for a single powerful card is better than using two weaker ones. MC isnt known for very good multi GPU support either.

Well yes but it’ll be fun. I’m just not sure if OP is serious about this or doing it for fun

In my experience Minecraft doesn't seem to be terribly efficient at using more than 1 GPU (that is to say it doesn't), It can barely use one modern GPU so. It's openCL so not massively optimised for Crossfire or SLI.

running on opengl and  even with a 1080 ti you can get limited by the gpu

Not on Minecraft, it's a bit archaic now, and almost always bottlenecks a CPU first, or starts to use obscene amounts of RAM, even 5.5GHz wasn't a complete knock out.

Ehemm... There are shader packs available as mods that turn Minecraft into a graphics card hell.

Those are mods, they don't wholely count, there are mods to turn any game into graphic cards hell, there are ways to make GTX 1080ti's hit 3GHz, that argument never ends.

google is a hell of a drug

 

 

Just go to your Catalyst Control Center> 3D Aplication Settings

Make a new profile.
Select javaw.exe. javaw.exe is the Java Virtual Machine environment that all java applications run on. It is located in
Program Files/java/jre8 [or 7 if that is your version] /bin

After you selected javaw.exe go to the bottom and turn "CrossFireX Mode" to "AFR Friendly"
This sets it to use alternate frame rendering.
Save this.
Now when you run minecraft, it will use both GPUs.

what graphics card do you have currently? might as well invest in something like a 1050
