post #1 of 13
Thread Starter 
I just bought the first Dead Space and love it, but it is only using one of my GPU's. Does this game no utilize mult-GPU??

I am only getting about 35 FPS and the temp of one of my GPU's is at idle speed.

In all honesty, if it can run with one card (with CrossFireX disabled), I'd leave it at that. It's a console port, so I doubt the game would utilize such things.

Well I know that in Dead Space 1 on PC, if you turned on V-sync, it put the framerate limit at 30 fps.

This still doesn't answer his question. It is still only using one of his GPU's (a 5870 can surely max out Dead Space on max with FPS to spare).......

Make sure that you installed the latest CAP's as they fix a lot of Crossfire problems.

Honestly that sounds like some weird driver error of sorts. I can absolutely max the game out at 1920x1200 with just my 4890.
Have you tried turning crossfire off and seeing if it yields any gains or losses in performance?
