Crossfire Lag

[Tekspdy]

Normally in IV I get around 30-40fps, with the occasional dip into 20 if something intense is going on, like tons of police cars and explosions.

 

Anyways, I got a second video card, to see if I could get a few more FPS in-game. Unfortunately, the result has backfired, and I am now only getting 5-10fps.

 

I've heard Crossfire doesn't help much in IV, but regardless, I never expected to go backwards in performance. (Only an issue with IV, other games perform well)

 

 

Notes:

GTA IV 1.0.7.0

Running @ 1080p

Intel Core i7-950

6GB Memory

2x Radeon 6870 (CFX)

 

Help is most appreciated. It's frustrating to get dual cards and see a result like this happen :s

You should have searched around first before getting a second video card. GTA IV is known to struggle more when SLI/Crossfire is enabled. People have had to disable SLI/Crossfire just to play GTA IV. I'm not sure if there's a solution for this, but you're better off with Crossfire turned off.

 

Have you tried lowering a few settings? Does it help boost your fps? Updated video drivers?
