    Crossfire 5870 problem

    When I play Bad Company 2, I get stuttering when I play in crossfire mode UNLESS v-sync is on (this causes FPS drops during explosions and other quick intense moments). I am not really looking for a way to fix this but can someone explain why? Motherboard Crosshair IV Formula Processor AMD...

    Is my CF setup being bottlenecked?

    Hello, I was wondering if my CPU is bottlenecking my 5870's. I actually get a FPS reduction and/or stutter in many games I play. The only games that I have had improvement with were Dirt 3, Shogun 2, and Empire Total War. I could overclock my CPU a bit more but I will need some cooling...

    Crossfire XFX 5870's give me bad performance

    Alright, I tried out Empire: Total War and I played at 1920x1080 with 4x AA and all other possible eye candy checked at max- Greater performance than a single card. Could it be that Crysis (which I know is a badly optimized game) and Source games aren't that great with double GPU setups?

    Hi, I recently upgraded by build and added an extra XFX 5870 to run in crossfire. I have not noticed a performance difference at all for high-demanding games such as Crysis. When I run it in 64-bit I get an average of 25 FPS when without the extra card I get about 45 FPS. In source games...

    Frustrating motherboard/RAM problem.

    Tried that also. I would also like to note that for some odd reason when the 790 is installed and it performs this weird boot up, I can't shut down the computer. I remember bringing it over to the repair store for the exact same problem and the guy told me that my RAM wasn't in the right...
