Hi, long time since I've posted here.
Situation:
I bought this behemoth of an Alienware M18x a little over a year ago and it has 2 Radeon HD 6970M GPU's which I can choose to run in crossfire whenever I would like
problem with one of the 6970M's is that the fan is broken. I'm not sure how or why, but I spent 3 months trying to get it fixed with Dell and after they finally shipped it back the fan was still broken. I think my warranty expired by now and I've gone through too much stress against Dell so I don't want to even call them once again. Quite a shame spending 3500USD for a laptop for this kind of customer treatment.
My Question:
I was wondering if it was possible to alternate between the 2 GPU's or use 1 instead of the other because on the primary 6970 I literally can't run Guild Wars 2 on high settings with more than 6fps. When I run them in crossfire, I still get awful framerate.
Any solutions immensely appreciated, thanks in advance.
