Dual GPU support

[Kairodar]

I was just wondering if dual GPU support had been enabled yet. I have 2 7970 toxic editions and I noticed that only one was being utilized in this game. Is this a plan for the future?

It already is supported. Are you playing in fullscreen?

[Kairodar]

Yes but when I was monitoring my gpu usage only one card was being utilized and I was dropping to 15-20 fps

Hmm, check with gpu-z to make sure it's enabled. I like to check in both the gpu control panel and gpu-z, to be sure. And remember crossfire/SLI is only active in fullscreen; fullscreen borderless doesn't count. Not sure other than that though, have you checked other games in fullscreen to make sure it's working?

Yea it works fine in Bioshock Infinite and Crysis 3 and in Borderlands 2. I will try the new beta drivers and see if that makes a difference when the game is back up

[Arioche]

The 13.10 beta drivers were awful for me (like 15fps-awful lol), 7970 crossfire also. I'm using 13.4 right now and it's working fine.

[Kairodar]

I reverted the drivers back and I will see what happens when the game is back up.

The game definitely doesn't have proper multi-gpu support. I have two GTX 780s and whenever I enable it, some parts of a map work with it, and others it offsets the load so that both cards are sitting around 40-50%. Not only that, weird things such as choppy camera, slow/fast frame buffering, and other strange events occur.

The benchmark works wonderful with SLI but definitely not the real game itself. Disabling the second card runs it better for me. It's a shame.

Check out my guide on it if you want better performance out of them:

I have it working crossfire now but I get terrible results. Not sure why I get worse fps than when single gpu
