There just isn't any good information I could find about hybrid, nobody uses it, and AMD didn't tell anybody how it actually works, it's just a secret.Īs for your point regarding power savings, I don't see how it can work to save power. So I think it's a driver thing, and the game doesn't have to support hybrid, but the drivers have to support it. I think the idea is that the driver has to recognize the game/app and the driver has to know how to get itself to take advantage of that game. From what I remember when searching, I think the hybrid driver is designed to look for certain apps that it understands, and then you realize a benefit despite the small overhead. I was very confused why performance was unchanged whether I enabled hybrid or disabled it. I had issues with the betas, so I'm still using the non-beta version. Is that version of the ASUS motherboard firmware a BETA? I don't see it listed on the ASUS website, but they have two further BETA versions beyond the non beta version 2001. Having said that, if it could cut a chunk of the computer's power usage while in 2D mode without any performance advantages over just running with a graphics card in 3D mode, it would be worth it for that alone IMO.Ĭlick to expand.Hey I have the same motherboard as you do. I thought CrossFire / SLI both worked without the game realising that the system has multiple GPUs? Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1 + Ubuntu I followed the manual's instructions for enabling Hybrid CrossFire.ĪMD Phenom II X4 960T (3.0GHz with 3.4GHz turbo mode) with two unlocked cores to make it an X6 It didn't show that option any more after that, and CrossFire options were nowhere to be seen. Windows detected the onboard graphics (I left the DVI cable plugged into the graphics card) successfully, but in CCC it temporarily gave an EyeFinity option then promptly crashed. I set 'SurroundView' from auto to enabled I set the onboard graphics to enabled, with UMA+SIDEPORT and 256MB RAM allocated to it. ![]() ![]() I hadn't got as far as trying an app with it as I couldn't get the AMD software to acknowledge it.īoard: ASUS M4A89GTD PRO/USB3, 2101 BIOS version
