Ok. First of all i know that i only have 2 Radeon 7950 for now. (I'm waiting for the red team's latest effort this summer...) And, as they are their first try at Async Shaders, they aren't near as effective as the latest AMD cards (290X, 390X, Fury, etc). But still, it seems strange to me that Async Shadres seems more effective when Mgpu mode is disabled... I mean, it should be twice as effective with 2 cards..? Driver Overhead, driver maturity or game maturity problem maybe..? Crossfire is disabled in AotS Crimson profile...

Look at this..

1 Card, Async On...

1 Card, Async Off...

Now, Compare FPS differences and Driver Overhead with a 7950 Mgpu...

2 Cards, Async On...

2 Cards, Async Off...

Only .2FPS difference with a 7950 Mgpu setup vs 1.5Fps difference with only 1 Card used..? Again, who may be to blame? Driver overhead, driver and\or game maturity, my 3.7Ghz Xeon X5650 not powerful enough (1 core at about 70%, others at +- 50%), PCI-E 16x 2.0 not fast enough..? Driver overhead is really high in Mgpu mode and, like i said, Crossfire is disabled in AotS driver profile... When Enabled, it looks like this... Ehh.. Not good!

Also strange is the fact that the 2nd card only adds about 10\11Fps when my CPU and GPU 2 arent even maxed out.. GPU 1 is seeing 99% load, GPU 2 between 70-90% load...

Just to compare, can anybody post a similar comparaison (Driver Overhead) on a Nvidia setup..?

Thanks!
