How to disable crossfire mode on AMD pcs

[Mouse droidz 21]

i got far cry 3 today and has been running perfectly on lowest settings. the problem im experiencing is that at the end of the round in multiplayer the game crashes. this is because crossfire mode is on and i don't know how to disable it so can someone tell me on how to disable crossfire mode?

hey op

do you even know what crossfire is

[deathrider]

so you want to disable crossfire? do you have two gpu's and when you "disable" it what then
im an intel person we have sli is crossfire like sli do you use one of those ribbon cables? (or a hard ribbon bridge thing)

intel has nothing to do with sli

nvidia does

If you disable it wouldn't it run worse?
Or wait if you can run it in the lowest settings, there it may happen that if you disable it you won't run it well at all.


Just don't disable it, wait for a game fix or look for a fix.

...Don't disable it... just look for a game fix.

His laptop has a low end APU in it (AMD A6), 6520 integrated and I'm guessing a discrete 6650m card, but that may be entirely false.
Usually, laptop companies ship it out with drivers that automatically manage the "crossfire" (it's not really crossfire but it works similarly to it) so that both the integrated and dedicated chips work together.
The drivers that the vendor shipped your laptop with will be the only ones that work correctly and if you switch to ones provided by AMD, you run the risk of a bluescreen.
Now, assuming that you do in fact have a discrete card, the fact that both are running should have nothing to do with it.
If your laptop vendor included AMD catalyst, you're in luck. Right click your destop and click the text with the red icon next to it. You should be able to disable the crossfire and have it work. You'll get lesser performance.

people with a 6990/7990/690/590 have two gpus. gpu =/= graphics card

anyway yeah intel has literally nothing to do with nvidia or vice versa

But how would crossfire crash his game that's "working perfectly fine"?  The game isn't like:

"Whoops, the game ended and this script relies on the player's crossfire to function and-" *crash*

I highly doubt it's a problem that can't be fixed from some solution online.

Games can have issues with two gpus working together. Maybe there was something called that caused a fatal error on the hardware level? I'm assuming that the error report said something about crossfire because I don't think mouse has any idea of what it really is.

There's literally no way that CrossFire and your crashing can be related, it may be your dedicated or APU's architecture interfering, though.  Search *CardName* Far Cry 3 in google.

at the moment far cry runs at 30 to 40 fps and sometimes 50. so if i disable crossfire ill just get less performance. it  says that far cry 3 does not support crossfire due to the fact the people who made multiplayer is a different team.

so here is the pic ill give you:



by disabling it what are the problems? and will it affect my graphics card or anything?  if it just gives me a absolutely stuff fps then ill enable it again and wait till ubisoft fix this problem.

If you disable it you will most likely get "stuff" fps, just post on their forums about the problem, or contact support.
