no crossfire support for arkham knight, is crossfire still a 'thing'? I can't remember any aaa titles this year that had good xfire support on launch day.

I don't know about that question as I do not own an "X/300" series card. There is a fork currently in both AMD drivers, this should be solved in the next few months with a unified driver.

So GTA 5 is not a AAA title, enough said.

I'm usually pretty forward/positive thinking when it comes to drivers from both camps but the lack of crossfire for AK is pretty shitty. It's a gameworks game so that might have "something" to do with it but still AMD has probably had at least some code at some point, you'd think they'd work to xfire working considering those are generally their highest paying customers.

Curious to see how long it takes to xfire enabled in AK. It's okay for me cause I'm still getting through the Witcher but still.

I believe it took a game patch with the previous Batman game. Hopefully they didn't break it again. :confused:
 
I was running the 15.20 version that posted a few days ago, I installed this last night and the only change was to the accelerated video and ccc. the video and audio drivers remained the same. this seems to be the "official beta" of those 15.20 files. either way, they seems to work fine.

Could be that they have put optimisations in the 300 series drivers that the 200 series wont get, like the launch driver did.
I cant see the need for separate drivers otherwise, they are the same hardware.

NV cant even get SLi working properly in AK yet so dont expect CF to be working.

I pity my friend who bought my 290x.

Cat 15.6 released yesterday for the 200 series, also a Batman driver...
It's just that the 300 series and 200 series run independent drivers for now.
