Hey! So I’ve been noticing that there’s not much difference between using 1 card and using both of my way overclocked radeon 4600 series (dinosaur gpus from the dark ages) I get at lowest 40 fps with both and at lowest 35 with both and they both peak around 65 fps. Perhaps the game is not taking full use of my cards? That’s way too small of a difference IMO.
From my experience with crossfire it’s very probably because the drivers don’t have a crossfire profile for star conflict.
That could be it.
on a side not, i did not know u were on the forums. we should squad again sometime. :)
i think its more important to get good cpu then crossfire. many games have problems with crossfire
for example i bought intel cpu i5-4670k (gtx 660 ti) for planetside2 and overclocked it. planetside2 runs with max settings 55+fps and star conflict never drop under 100 fps :fed001:
Perfomance gain from SLI or cross fire are not two fold. It depends on the card, some of them are as low as a 20% gain.
There are a large number of games that will actually glitch when crossfire is enabled.
I would recommend investing into a more expensive video card rather than the multi GPU approach.
Of course, if you are rocking out with a GTX980 you are going to have to multi GPU to get any better…
Also it is possible for some GPUs (normally the SLI lines) to use more than twice the power, so you have to make certain your power supply has sufficient wattage.
Lastly I think Star Conflict has a max frame rate setting, you may want to check if that is set if you are wanting a higher frame rate. Though most humans will not notice anything higher than a 27 frame rate. By most I mean less than 1%.
I normally set my cards for a hard frame rate of 35 in the driver manager.

idk about that. Video please? Max settings would require a better cpu.
My cpu is actually decent and honestly, GPUs are far more important in modern games. My cpu doesn’t really bottleneck, it’s all my gpus. Perhaps the game isn’t optimized for it?
I have a simple solution:
Forget AMD in PC gaming.
They making useless boilers from out-of-date parts. I tried enough AMD PCs in these years to say they are crap. Buy an nVidia and you gonna be happy.

yes. i had always amd and played with amd phenom II x4 many years. but indel nearly doubled my frame-rate. this is hilarious. :fed001:

Oh no you didn’t. U did not just slam AMD. I have 2008 cards (6 years old) and u are slamming them. They are ancient. I don’t know if i can forgive you for this…
Nekromant, ur i5 costs 220 dollars. You could buy the fx 8350 for 50 dollars less and get way better performance because you can overclock the fx-8350 way more than the i5.

thanks for tip. i bought cpu just for planetside2 and it runs much much better with intel. i tried it with friends :01111:
star conflict is very good game. amd cpu isn’t a problem there

And watch as your computer goes up in flames, maybe. AMD processors have ridiculous clock speeds, yes, but they don’t have the same processing power as Intel ones, even if overclocked. And besides, no one wants to use twice the power they would otherwise.
