Default CLOD not activating GPU properly ????

I just got CLOD, its getting cheap now...25 €

installed... steam patched it...

tried it out...looks terrible...fps low...

i unchecked the steam update..
cleared game cache manually...

installed patch 1.5xx

flew... low fps... stuttering...on 1440x900 and medium settings...pseudo and fullscreen same results...

checked with MSI Afterburner and GPUz utility...

hardware: AMD 5970 (dual gpu, Crossfire), Core i7 920 at 3,6 Mhz..., 12 Gig Ram, cat 11.9

result: only gpu 2 gets used and only running on 400 mhz (instead of 725 as is default on 5970)...
Gpu 1 is switching between idling and 725 but never has load...

So it seems the card isnt initialised properly and Crossfire is not active...

What a bull....

i went back to normal game version (not beta patch), cleared game cache, and still the same...

tried to use Ati tray tools and alternatively also the catalyst driver overclocking to force clockrates and have two active gpus.. nope....
tried disabling one gpu with ATT and disable CF....nope.. still GPU 2 not clocking to more then 400 Mhz...

so long after publishing and still Maddox team is not even capably of properly initialising a GPU ???? Lol !! Rofl !!! my opinion of this teams capabilities has lowered to below zero...

game goes on shelf until someday in the future....

Did you deleted or renamed the UBI-video?

With some tweaking you can get pretty decent fps on your system.
However I think crossfire is defuncked as of now.
You might be better of turning one core off but I'm not sure how this works. There are some crossfire threads here. U might wanna check em out.

Good luck.

PS. If u wanna give it another go and need some tweaking assistant then let us know.

thx... i appreciate the caring..

Delete the Ubi logo ! that helped to bring the card up to proper speed... thx for mentioning this...
But wasnt that bug supposed to be cured already months ago ???

Now both cores run at proper speed but fps are still horrible and its very stuttery....
I am just doing quick test with quick action missions but its still unplayable...fps between 40 and 20... very very rough and stuttery...

I tried fullscreen and pseudomode...
I have tried to force a CF profile (Lost planet) with RadeonPro but it didnt help/work ?
I am running medium settings and a pretty low res... 1400x900...
I dont know what else to tweak...

And it looks horrible without good AA by the way...

Crossfire and SLI either don't work or don't work properly at this point.
I know its a single card but the game sees it as 2.
Those of us with high end single cards are getting 60fps and great graphics with most settings at max.
You need to uncheck SSAO and anti-epilepsy filter.
Experiment with settings...eg, turn shadows, trees & grass off.
May help but I'm not confident that with that card it will work.

Do not despair. I have very similar specs (to the OP) and run the Black Death track at 41fps avg with everything on high (except AA @2x, no SSAO as I can't detect the benefit) @1920/60 60mhz. I see very few stutters or slow-downs, notwithstanding mp probs since last patch) I can give more details of settings if you would like?
