I'm not sure if SLI users are having a similar issue, but Crossfire is creating crazy artifacting. In the training area, right up until you get to the 'combat scenario' (so as long as you are in the Tron looking area or free running area), everything is fine. But once you get into a more realistic game environment, the game creates all these artifacts all over the screen, making it unplayable. Random numbers and letters appear everywhere, along with geometric shapes. It is very strange, especially since it doesn't occur during the first part of the training.Now, I know that Crossfire has it's share of issues, and a single strong card is better than two weaker cards, so I don't need those comments. I have what I have. My PC plays the game just fine at high settings on one card, but I'd like to get the full potential out of my system, so some support on this issue would be nice.

(copying my response from another thread) As announced yesterday, the studio is fixing issues with multiple GPUs for an upcoming patch: https://twitter.com/Titanfallgame/status/443516778895798273 I've found this workaround for now, but be aware that as usual, this should only be attempted by confirmed users (odds are if you have multiple GPUs on your rig you are one, but you're the only ones who know): http://www.dsogaming.com/news/titanfall-has-multi-gpu-issues-respawn-will-fix-them-in-an-upcoming-patch-temp-workaround-found/

I had the same issue with my crossfire. I deactivated Crossfire and am now just waiting until something gets fixed or drivers get updated.

Can you test if turning off Anti-aliasing has any effect on this please?

Hi,
Everyone is having that issue since the beta: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83qaoZ39GSU
If you google "titanfall crossfire artifacts" you will see what I'm saying. 😕mileyhappy:
Hope for an answer and fix from EA on this because my friend (I'm actually in his house now testing that) is waiting to see if this gets fixed soon to be able to buy the game.
Turning off Crossfire helps but is not an option for him: he has a Radeon HD5970 which is a dual GPU card. If he turns off Xfire he gets low FPS on Titanfall.
Because we noticed this in the beta, we planned that I would buy the game first (beta was fine in my PC; I don't have a Crossfire setup) and that then we would test the game in his PC to check if it still had that Xfire issue. And if it had he wouldn't buy the game. Well, it turns out that the game came out with this massive issue. There's posts everywhere talking about this, videos, screen photos (not screenshots because when you take a screenshot of the issue, while it is happenning, the photo just doesn't show the artifacts. It shows an image of the game without the issue, no artifacts show up in the screenshot, weird).
I hope this gets fixed soon. When I can I will send a DXDiagnose of his PC.
Well, I can say too that with the old Catalyst 12.8 WHQL this doesn't happen. He can have Xfire ON, but since that drivers are too old he gets even lower fps than with the new drivers/Crossfire OFF.

Nope, Anti-Aliasing OFF has no effect on the artifacts' issue. I've tested everything in the beta. 10 hours straight testing settings and different Catalyst versions. The only solution was Crossfire OFF or Catalyst 12.8 (with this drivers you can have Crossfire ON).

My friend that has this issue (check my post above) has two OS' installed. A Windows 8.0 x64 with Catalyst 12.8 (best driver for his PC to run World of Tanks). And a Windows 7 x64 with the latest Catalyst. I've been testing every combination of settings in Titanfall beta in each Windows. So, nothing more helps I think. Just the Crossfire OFF option. Maybe you guys knowing that Crossfire from Catalyst 12.8 doesn't cause any artifacts in Titanfall will help you solve this. Maybe if you check what changes AMD made in the Crossfire programming in the drivers between 12.8 and above versions...

I have the artifacting issue on my 7990 (dualgpu card). I'm stuck running the game in windowed mode in order to disable crossfire as you can't via the control panel. Battlefield 4 had a similar issue, and it was fixed in one of the updates. heres to hoping this gets fixed asap!

I had the same issues as well, I am running the latest AMD beta drivers off the site, dual 7970's and WIn 8.1. I was able to fix it on my setup by disabling "Frame Pacing" after this was disabled it cleared up any artifact issues for me while keeping crossfire enabled. Thanks

You can disable Crossfire if you create a profile for Titanfall in the Catalyst control panel.

Tried that. Frame Pacing OFF didn't solve it for me.

I am also having the issue with xfired 7870s at 1080p. Using 14.2 beta driver Feb 25th is from the AMD website.
To get it "playable" (minor light flickering only in certain areas, about 95% good, very minimal artifacting) here are the settings I use
Anti-aliasing: 4x MSAA
Vsync: Disabled
Texture Resolution: High (Very high and insane = tons of artifacts everywhere)
Texture Filtering: Trilinear
Everything else = High
You can probably tweak the AA and texture filtering settings, but texture resolution screws everything up badly if it's set above high.
