| Vista Ultimate x64 | GPU Utilization in Vista x64 w/ Crossfire Okay situation: i have a 3870x2 and i'm using Vista Ultimate 64-bit with 2gb of ram. No matter what program i run, even programs i KNOW are supposed to use more than 1 gpu core, nothing puts any kind of load (not even a little blip for a second) on the second core. I've tried crysis, Fallout 3, 3dmark 2003 & 2006. I'm using rivatuner hardware monitoring, and even tried 2 copies of gpu-z. I'm using 2 monitors in dualview and have the monitor programs on the right screen so i can watch while a fullscreen 3d application runs on the other. Does anyone know about a way to resolve this? It might be a crossfire issues, as these cards DO use crossfire, although it's hard-set to always-enable in the hardware. So far i've found some info through googling and installed patches manually: KB936710, KB929777, KB938194, KB938979, KB940105, KB945149 I had service pack 1 installed, but it wasn't giving utilization on the second gpu core, no load at all, so i de-installed it just to manually force these patches in... thinking maybe microsoft claims they're included in Sp1 but maybe they're not, but now it's still not resolved it so... i don't know I can't find any posts about this on the internet so far... ![]() other specs: Intel Q6600 @ 3814mhz, patriot extreme performance ddr2-1066 @ 1140mhz (1x2gb) Gigabyte GA-X48-DQ6 motherboard, using two WD hard drives (7200 rpm, sata-2, 32mb buffer, 500gb) in raid-0 using the onboard raid chip (not the southbridge, the other one) "GSATA". Any input would be appericated. Last edited by skunksmash; 04-13-2009 at 02:10 AM.. |
