    WOW only using 1 gpu on a dual GPU card?

    Looking for help as to why WOW is maxing out one of my GPU's on my Dual GPU card.
    I have an amd HD 6900. I'm monitoring my card with AMD system monitor and know that my card has even distribution for other games I play, just not WOW, and only recently. I have AMD crossfire enabled to work for 'applications that have no associated application profile.'

    Would some some advise as to why this is happening and how to fix.

    WOW Doesn't support SLI and Crossfire.

    Wow does use SLI, it just doesn't scale well, only using 30% of both my cards instead of the 99% it uses of my one card, It is possible that they need to enable SLI for Wow.

    Yeah, if anything, that's super outdated information. WoW has used, however not well, multi-GPU setups for some time.

    @OP, you mean an HD6990?

    If it's only drawing 30% from each card it would be better to use a single card?

    People with SLI say that they run better with one card only. CF is better than SLI but probably still bad for WoW.
