How well does AMD CrossFire work in ETS2MP?

[Rootyyy]

Looking for a cheap upgrade to my PC, I currently have a HD7790 1GB and don't want to fork out another £150+ on an entirley new GPU, as I have car insurance to cover (it's very expensive for new drivers in the UK). Do you think I'd see any performance improvement with a second HD7790 or not?

 

My PC's other specs:

Intel i5-4670k

MSI Z87-G55

2x4GB HyperX Red DDR3 @ 1600Mhz

Corsair CX500

if your system supports two graphic cards to install, you'll see a performance increase.

Hi @Rootyyy 

We recommend that you use the Fps booster programs.but it does not work in crowded areas.

you can look at ets2 requirements here:

Maybe the game would work well just to avoid big places with lots of traffic

Avoid big places with lots of traffic? My game runs ok in Calais atm, between 10-20fps, are you saying that 2 cards is only going to improve the performance in certain areas, not sure it works that way The idea is I want to raise my FPS in these areas, not avoid them!

crossfire works very bad in ets2, you might even lose fps with 2 gpu's, don't go for it

Always keep your system up to date.
Replace the graphics card if necessary.
Try reinstalling the game.
Turn off unnecessary features in the graphics settings.

Hello,

 

You can look at the following suggestions:

1. Two graphics cards close together will produce more heat and sound, and will draw more energy at the same time. If these are the issues that worry you, it is useful to stay away from SLI and Crossfire.
2. All games may not support SLI and Crossfire. The fact that the game supports SLI or Crossfire is actually dependent on the driver. Nvidia and AMD frequently update their drivers to offer multi-GPU support for new games, but if your game does not support SLI or Crossfire, you may have to use a single GPU.
3. SLI and Crossfire can sometimes cause a so called "micro stuttering". This effect may cause images to appear intermittent.

 

I would advise you to consider these issues.

Hello, 

 

The best suggestion I can give you is do not look for an AMD Graphics card. This is due to the fact that I have been running into issues with mine. I have the AMD A8-8660K . Go for an Nvidia or something similar between those lines.
