Constant freezing and only 1 GPU is used

Post » Sun May 13, 2012 8:45 pm

Hi all, currently Rage is unplayable for me. Not only am I getting the slow loading texture problem but my game freezes for 2-3 seconds every 5 seconds. I take a few steps and it freezes, take a few more steps and it freezes, etc. Also, monitoring my GPU usage with GPUz shows that Rage is only using 1 of my GPU and not using CrossFire at all. Please help!

System specs: Alienware M18x - Intel Core i7 2820QM 2.3GHz (3.4GHz w/Turbo Boost, 8MB Cache) | 8GB Kingston HyperX PnP DDR3 @ 1866 MHz | Dual 2GB GDDR5 AMD Radeon HD 6990M AMD CrossFireX | (2) 120GB OCZ Vertex 3 SSD RAID-0 | Killer Wireless-N 1103

Disable Crossfire, the game runs better with it off.
My Catalyst settings that work (if you can call it working...)
2 6950's Rolled back to 11.8, crossfire disabled.
anti-aliasing, override application settings. Lowest Level, Filter standard.
anisotropic filtering off.
Tessellation AMD Optimized
Catalyst AI High quality, no surface format optimization.
Wait for vertical refresh, always off.
Anti-Aliasing Mode Performance.
Triple Buffering, unchecked.

Hmm I'll try some of those settings a little later. After disabling crossfire.... my game only freezes every 10 seconds. A small improvement. I finally got to the town and accepted my first quest!
