ET & crossfire (2gfx cards)

by eiM • 20 Sep 2008, 19:05 • Journals
hey,

I just put in my 2nd graphic card again (was bugged) and installed all drivers (8.1 catalyst) from my cd.

Everything is running fine but if I start ET my pc freezes and I need to restart.

If i turn off crossfire in the Catalyst control center everything is working fine.

Is there anything commonly known about ET/q3 and crossfire/sli bugs?

thx

Germany eiM

Turn off AA and AF in ET

if you're doing crossfire i guess you have a dual / quad proc, so maybe the freezes come from here...

do you set et.exe to one core only?

It's not bs. It just depends on which processor you have, and on the rest of your hardware sometimes...

If nothing else works, might be an idea to downgrade gfx drivers to 7.x, i had a problem where i couldnt run ET:QW with old drivers but i cant run wow with new drivers (or other way around, cant remember) - easy fix: Didnt play QW, its shit.


....anyway, maybe try and downgrade drivers if all else fails.

http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html

Find your card, then on that site there should be a bit at the bottom 'Additional links' and under that '* Previous Drivers and Software' - should be able to find some there

Note: If you've got a new card, there may not be any older ones?
