ok.. Win7 64bit specs thermaltake 750w, mobo m5a99fx pro r2.0, 1 ssd 129gb corsair, 3 1tb hardrives toshibia, fx 8350, R7 260x crossfire 2gb ddr5, 16gb patriot ram. coolmaster evo 212.... so its over clocked to 4.4 ran prime 95 all night and day runs great.... problem im having is graphics cards. loading screen lags a bit. furmark says 24 fps per graphics card when no crossfire enabled.... so after enable 48 fps 1080p. 720 gets about 74 fps... i can run withcer 3 on med... its lags a bit then amd driver stops responding...... i have turned my fans on turbo and tried turning gpu fans up too... temps for package 59C max no higher the cpu is 76 max. value tamps are 49 package 69 cpu while doing this. amd radeon r7 200 series 45c max 71c...... I have not over clocked the graphics cards at all. my ram is 1600mhz. ive read my cards are lower buget so maybe thats why... im running led tv monitoir hdmi. I have used msi afterburner. im not trying play on ultra or 4k just 60fps 1080p.. I understand it could be the porting of the game or just the game itself... i dont generally have problems ive heard navida is good... only had this rig a year msaa and fxaa or off.. all my drivers are up to date along with windows updates Ive moved the cards around not made sure they are in correctly...

So you have 2 R7 260's? Recommended card for that game is an r9 290. This is most likely the issue you have. You need a better card.
 
yes 2 r7260 thank you for answering my question... i can play anything pretty much it makes sense..... should i get a big 4gb card and just not crossfire?
 
yes. You are better off getting 1 good card instead of crossfiring 2 not so great cards.
 
Use DisplayDriverUninstaller (download the app) to remove all NVidia and crossfire drivers in safe mode. Download and reinstall the drivers from AMD. Enable CF and update chipset drivers. Also ensure that in the bios you have the PCIe lanes set to PCIe 2 or 3 if there is an option, 3.
 
all slots expansion slots 2x pcie 2.0 x16 slots (dual@16/x16 speed)
2x pcie 2.0 x16 slots (black@x4 Speed)
1x pcie 2.0 x1 slot
1x pci slot

I have them in 2 blue slots
i used the program driver unistall in safe mode.... now im reinstalling drivers
thanks for your help everybody... ive done everything so we will see if we have luck here

Yes, the 2 PCIe slots (blue) are Slots 1 and 3 and should be occupied by the cards to ensure 16x operation. The black PCIe 16 slots are mechanically x16 but only electrically x4 which is fine for most other hardware (e.g. network, sound cards etc).
Let us know how you go.

Also makes sure you update your system drivers from here as there are new SATA drivers as recent as 2 weeks ago. Check you latest and most up to date chipset and BIOS as well.
 
Ok Ive done everything right so far..... well ive been good with borderless mode works..... fullscreen no go gets 60 fps then fails... ive updated everything use slimdrivers ummm most times the screen goes black card stops and comes back. sound is working while this key board lags a bit but still respond.... ctrl alt dlt close game try again.... so fullscreen no go..... i get about 45 fps med to high settings.. gta 5 mostly witcher 3 it does run.... little stutter not horrible.... yet mafia 2 works great black ops 3 good and 2. i know the aaa games some are really cpu hungry. 30 fps works good just a bit slow running... v snyc is on fans are 85%... for graphics cards. read msi afterburner doesnt work for amd cards. only auto or manual control hmmmm so thats whats happening works on borderless.. ive got direct x 11 ummm thats all i have so far
 
You definitely have the CF bridge installed ? Also make sure if you use TeamViewer, close it completely before starting the game as it is known to conflict.
