Aurora dual 5770s crossfire low fps

I don't play World of Warcraft but I'm going to piggybacking off of the last post... Can you just leave both cards in and disable crossfire in CCC when playing Blizzard games? When you have a game that likes/uses crossfire, re-enable it in CCC. Would that work?

You should be able to do that in the Profile (for the specific game or app).

That was going to be my next question too regarding a disable through CCC. I just tried the non windowed mode and i now get the xfire logo, but alas and alack, same FPS.

Thanks for the quick replies gang :)

Also, go do this, Download this and run this script. http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info13581-LeatrixLatencyFix.html For wow as a healer and a tank, it really means a lot to me to have my latency as good as it can get. Missing a heal or a taunt when i need it most can wipe a raid. Download this, run it, then reboot, will reduce your latency by over half!

Install the latest AMD-ATI CCC Profiles or create your own for WoW.

Be sure your NIC is connecting at 1000 or 100 (highest your router/switch supports).

If your monitor is 16:9, but that native resolution is too taxing in game, you can select a slightly lower standard 16:9 res and it should scale and look fine (non-windowed) full screen.

I think these guys are saying CrossFireX doesn't work in a Window (must be full-screen).

EDIT:

While Blizzard keeps coming out with new WoW "versions" I think the base game engine is fairly dated by now. On the good side, the game is not very graphically demanding. We run it fine (at 1680x1050 and pretty high visual settings) on the XPS-410 in my sig below.

P.S. i get the same frames in windowed mode. That other forum post was for a 6870 right when it was released so the scaling for crossfire probably hadnt been updated by blizz yet.

hmmm, so i disabled xfire in CCC, lowered all video setings, and viola! 19-22FPS

I guess I'll have to try ripping out one card. Do I detach both of the bridges? (there are 2)

IT IS NOT CROSSFIRE. I dunno where this other person got their information but I am running SC2 and WoW maxed with at least 60fps avg. In WoW with out vertical sync I get like 200 fps. I am running two 5670's in crossfire. crossfire works fine with blizzard games. I would not be able to run sc2 maxed with a single 5670. I would download 3dmark and a processor benchmark of your choice. see if they come back with the right scores. A single 5770 should play WoW close to my two 5670's so I dont think its your GPUs. Maybe a processor or mobo issue.

I had not rebooted after disabling xfire, but now I have and same result. Good call on the internet connection, but its the same connection I was using before (again, my previous system had a GT240. Heck, it might have been a GT220...  1920 x 1080 with high settings at 40FPS).

I'm not sure the profiler in CCC is loaded correctly . I did download from AMD and installed it, but there are no profiles to choose from in CCC. I remember seeing they showed a profile from Lich King on the site from an earlier version, and it states that if you download the latest one, you get all previous profiles included. Going to do some research on that today. Getting somewhat frustrated here with my awesome new rig with underwhelming performance.

Again, thanks for all the suggestions.

I just ordered a the same setup (dual 5770) to play wow along with fps games.   Please let us know how this works out for you. My delivery date is the 14th If this thread is still active then, I will update it with my results.

Ok you should not have to load any special profiles for WoW or any other game really. If you disabled crossfire with only one 5770 you should get EXCELLENT frames in WoW.  I doubt you have two faulty video cards. I would try installing a different video driver test out the one from dell too. When I first got my alienware it would not work right with the most updated video drivers but only the ones dell offered which were horribly dated. So I reformatted COMPLETELY. Now I am able to run the latest catalyst not to mention the whole PC performs better without all the junk. You could try that.

Do you mean to say that you completly reformatted the entire operating system? I haven't noticed a bunch of bloatware other than McAfee. But hey, if it works I guess its worth a shot. I might reserve that as a last resort. Maybe I'll do the old Dell drivers first.

Yes I used the OS cd and reformatted the drive completely even the recovery partition.  If you have not tried to Dell drivers I would recommend that first because they should be proven to work for that computer. Sadly if those work you will still have outdated drivers but at least youll know its not a hardware issue and you can always reformat for the new drivers. The alienware stuff is the bloat. The command center was the most taxing on the PC. I just picked the color I wanted before formatting and never reinstalled it. so much better.
