just cause 2 + ef + cf = no go ?

Post by elior77 »

I can run it only when I disable catalyst AI (it will disable cf too)

So I can choose from:
-ef, no cf
-cf no ef

btw, ef + cf + AI enabled will give a black screen and a game crash...

"Unfortunately, while the game looks great with Eyefinity, this is another one of the titles we tested with that didn't agree with CrossFireX much at all. Like the others that gave us issues, this game slowed down at parts and halted in others. Again, I expect many of these issues to be patched up in a future driver release."

"This title doesn't run well in CrossFireX mode with currently-available driver."

This is mostly due to a hardware issue actually. The XFire Bridge was only meant to do 2560x1600 at MAX. 5760x1080 is much bigger than that. I'm unaware how alot of games are getting around this though. It maybe that they just use less bandwidth than the games that hitting the wall.

I'm running JC2 with xfire and eyefinity, although the scaling is terrible compared to other games (only about 20-25% in the benches compared to around 150% for most other games). I'm using cat 10.4 and the steam version of JC2.

Download ATI drivers 10.x or 8.74 pack and install them fresh.

You should see it fixed

If you say 10.5 and below suck... then 10.x can be only below 10.5 - i dont get it sorry :

I'm in the same boat using 10.4. I have to disable cat ai to run or black screen. It seems to be the only game Ive tried that I need to disable crossfire to run.
