Crossfire Question

[trento]

I just started CF. was wondering do u leave it enabled always or for certain games?

Also, there's this option in Afterburner on 'Disable ULPS'. Default is unchecked. Seems like i should not check it? After all, low power when not in use sounds like a good thing.

find it a bit lecheh to turn on and off. so was hoping to let it be and hope the power draw is ok under normal use.

Appreciate any advice.

If you disable ulps the 2nd card will not run. It will make use of amd zero core technology. However the moment the cards detects a hardware acceleration., it will turn back on.

Anyway leaving cf on or off doesnt matter. The 2nd card on idle draws very negligible power. Doesnt mean that you disable cf the 2nd card will not take in power. It will stil take in power.

The power draw is about 3-5w.
