AMD CrossFireX Performance Temporary Fix for TeS V: Skyrim

AMD CrossFireX Temporary Fix​

Thanks to hawtdawg for the tip!

Skyrim crossfire runs great with the Oblivion profile forced from Radeonpro, which makes me wonder why they dont just slap the default oblivion profile in a CAP for skyrim, and then improve it later.

1.
Download RadeonPro from here and complete installation

VirusTotal Scan here

2.
Open the RadeonPro and follow these steps!

Click Next

After you have done this, you can simply hit next until you finish the wizard.

If you did it correctly, your end result should look something like this:

If it doesn't, run the wizard again.

The tweak isn't perfect, but it resulted in a noticeable difference in my system. And if done correctly, you can expect a decent performance boost until AMD releases the official CAPs.

There's also a .dll on [H] forum that fixes the scaling problem, since in the Skyrim folder its got atimgpud.dll thats apparently out of date..

Skyrim scales incredible with CPU speed as well, even 2600k at 4ghz vs 5ghz there's still linear scaling its nuts.

Thanks much for that. My friend should give this a try. gl

The reason it scales so well is because it only uses 2 CPU cores. If it used more then 2 it would stop scaling with clock speed at some point.

Whiterun in town, particularly the tree area, is the hardest part of the game for me. On Ultra I dip into what seems like the teens.

I guess my bottleneck is CPU like everyone else. I wonder if crossfire will clear this up for me.

That's that console port mechanics rearing its ugly head. Work is geared towards the processor since console GPUs are so crap. Basically, a mid grade GPU paired with a very strong CPU mimics the console relationship.
