    Hi,
    So I have a 6740g2 dual graphics but I get negative scaling in bf3 compared to only using the discrete graphics. Would it be because I'm running single channel instead of dual channel memory (6gigs of RAM) or just a faulty apu?
    Thanks

    Its probably the drivers.
    SLI or Crossfire (same or hybrid) does not always work out as it should.

    You need to use the very latest AMD drivers to get working Crossfire on Battlefield 3 or Skyrim, but the Hybris Crossfire works best on Dx11 games like BF3.

    Think the very latest ones are AMD Catalyst 11.11c but im not sure how it will work on switchable graphics.
