5870 crossfire work with this mod ?

[sleepysheep]

even though I don't yet use anything that uses 8threads

Don't be so sure, there are many desktop apps using insane amounts of threads

Well, I hope there is, I just doubt I'm using them. Except stress tests and benchmarks ofc I really want there to be alot more programs using 8 threads, and thanksfully this year alot of new games are multithreaded apps, so HELL YEAH!!! For the future

Make sure you have r_MultiGPU=2 enabled.

According to the bubble description in the Crysis Wars Sandbox editor, r_MultiGPU=2, will turn off the ATI/AMD CrossFire. This autodetect setting should work for NVIDIA SLI.

For ATI/AMD video cards, try setting r_MultiGPU=1 to enable Crossfire in the MWLL Mod.

Also read through this thread for a discussion of the AMD System monitor and enabling a multi-GPU ATI/AMD video card such as the HD5970.

Aidan, have you tried the "1" setting?  I have multigpu set to 2 and I'm pretty sure it's working...now I'll have to test it.


EDIT:  Ok I just did a quick comparision between r_MultiGPU=1 and r_MultiGPU=2 and I didn't see any real difference in performance...can anybody confirm or deny this?

1= uses two gpu
2= Auto, thus it uses 2 gpu if you got it otherwise it uses one GPU.

Thus the setting will not make any difference. If you do have more than one GPU you should ALWAYS set it to 1. This way it will never accidently auto it self to 1GPU.

Thank you!!

Sorry for long quote...tough to edit those on the phone

I am just going by the bubble help that pops up when you hover your mouse over the r_MultiGPU cvar in the Crysis Wars editor. the value of 2 is supposed to be an multi-GPU auto detect setting BUT the editor help states this only works for SLI and not ATI. It states ATI will be off.

@Hartsblade, yes I am currently using r_MultiGPU=1.

Setting it to 2, does work for ATI cards, becuase it worked for my 5970. However as I said, setting it to 1, is a better option. (And yes I saw you said you have it set to 1)

How do you know it works with a setting of 2? I mean what data proves this?

My 5970 giving the same FPS with it set to 1 or 2? I tried both settings before I knew what either actually meant. So far as I know Crossfire works if you set it to 2 or 1. At least it did for me.

But the point is moot, if you have two GPU, you should set it to 1. If you have one GPU you set it to 0. The only time you should set it to 2, is if you are going to disable and enable your SLI/crossfire all the time, which makes no sence to me unless you are benchmarking the game.

So your proof is through subjective observation of your FPS while you are in game? Or are you running a utility that is recording the GPU utilization of both GPUs as you are playing the MWLL game?

If MWLL wasn't using both of the GPU, my FPS would be half. In fact it would run like crap.

It's like when you window MWLL from full screen. Instantly I can tell SLI/Crossfire isn't working. My FPS drops to half and the game doesn't run smooth at all.

Belive me its not a small change, is a very very noticable change.

[Aidan]

Subjective observation then.

[sleepysheep]

Subjective observation then.

I don't get your point.


Are you trying to say I'm too stupid to look and read a FPS counter at the top right of my screen to be able to tell the difference if 25 is half of 50?? (Or whatever my FPS was at the time)

It's not rocket science.

I changed the 2 in the cfg file to a 1. My FPS was THE SAME. I only changed it becuase I don't like auto settings.

If you don't want to belive me thats your loss. All I can say is, go get two ATI graphic cards (Or a duel GPU card) and find out yourself if you refuse to belive me.

[Aidan]

Sheesh man relax. Take a chill pill.
