System specs: Intel Core i5 2550K (overclocked to 4.0 Ghz) 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz, 9-9-9-12 2x Radeon HD6950 (bios flashed to 6970's) 2GB VRAM each (2GB available) Intel 730 SSD 850psu Hi folks, I know there are plenty of performance threads out there. I have read through many of them. I know the game runs like garbage for a majority of people regardless of how beefy their computer is. And I have seen a couple of Crossfire threads here and on various forums, but nothing recently. I want to start a thread for performance issues and optimization for AMD Crossfire users with the new OMEGA drivers. I have been able to get DayZ running okay using one of my cards on mostly low settings. However, I cannot seem to get the game to run well with crossfire at all. Here are some of my issues: Cannot run the game above anything but lower settings. Seems like crossfire doesn't do much besides split the load between the cards. Each card never runs above 60% or so, the the game chugs alone anywhere near a building. Does anyone know if the performance issues near buildings are VRAM related? or just poorly optimized rendering?Weird flashing problem in crossfire mode. The screen will flicker with a white strobe-like effect and then the whole thing goes bright white for a second and then quickly dims down to normalcy. This happens kind of randomly and then after a while of playing sometimes it start happening a lot, so much that it's kind of unplayable and really bad if in a high pop server.Tried running the game is 1x1 optimized mode and I get this weird delay issue. Almost like there is heavy mouse acceleration on. I guess this might be some kind of input lag? Strangely, this mode renders the game the best out of all of them, but the mouse movement is too sluggish to be playable.Tried both AFR friendly and tried using the ARMA 2 Crossfire profile. Neither of these seem to improve performance much, if at all. In fact, I almost think one card runs the game better at similar settings.Game generally runs like poop.Some things I have tried: Turned off post processing, AA, edge smoothingChanged shadows and water to lowTurned off motion blur, and greatly reduced bloomChanged textures and texture filtering to high (No reason I can see this would cause a problem with 2GB VRAM)Changed VRAM usage from auto to 2048MB (Does this really do anything?)Turned off alpha to coverageTried running the game using the ARMA 2 crossfire profile, and all the other AMD Crossfire modesSet everything to low and turned down the resolution (This helps a lot, obviously. But a 5 year old laptop should be able to run these settings at 60FPS)Tried running AA from the AMD Catalyst software instead of in-gameTried frame buffering on and offTried turning off surface format optimization and texture filtering.Basically, turning all the options off or low is the only thing that makes the game run acceptable in an area with more than a few buildings. It's worth noting that The game runs REALLY well in the forest with one card, even with higher settings. The buildings really destroy the performance. I would appreciate anyone who can give me their settings who also use Crossfire in a similar setup. Also, if anyone has specific .ini changes for a crossfire specific setup. Thanks a lot!
