Who got crossfire to work?

[Rekrul]

Well, dual was wrong terminology - it's extended desktop. I don't run it in window mode and I get the crossfire logo up if I enable crossfire and the logo.

Thanks for the suggestions though, I'll test it. I can play on 20fps as long as it's stable. All I want is VD.

Btw, isn't maxmem pretty much proven to be moot?

well with proper mods you can see tanks and stuff at 1500m with lower VD. I find 2500 more than enough VD for ground game but more is nice, but its a performance killer. After 3800 or 4000~ your texture details will lower automatically anyways... When a full on stutter happens i usually do a 360* turn to absorb the gfx. It is only in the big citys that it can happen, and only with 19/12 rez. The new 9.10s seem to be the best ATi driver yet. What vid cards do you have?

I've got 4980s.

I think it is working with the newest drivers
Catalyst Software Suite 91.6 MB 11.1 1/26/2011
I can't tell for sure what is happening but the game is very smooth at 1920 x 1080 and settings at high to very high. aa at normal.
I could not run this setting with one card.
xfx hd 6870 cards.
win 7 x64

Update: I think something is helping but it sure isn't what crossfire should be I see a small improvment in fps. Not worth the price of a new card. Crossfire is just a way to sell more cards. Should have saved money and purchaced one better card. SLI and Crossfire are not supported like they should be it has been out long enough to fix the bugs but there are way too many problems, stay away from multiple cards! If someone has a different opinion, I would like to here it.

No good with the 11.1 drivers after much testing and tweeking the drivers just don't run correctly. White flashes when running 1920X1080, drop to 88% and less corruption. Back to 10.12 drivers and no more problems. But still not running like crossfire should. Game still rocks, I guess I should accept the fact that I will not run this game at full specs no matter what. I don't have enough money.

I quit the crossfire game I just returned the second card. I will wait a year and get a better card this crossfire thing is too much of a hassle.

Hi all,
I had put this game away with the flickering issue.Got a q9650 and ati 4870x2 and by chance happened upon this post and whoopee got crossfire to work for me.Renamed to crysis.exe and flickering stops in intro after about 5 seconds...confirmed crossfire is working with ati tray tools on screen display.Both gpu are at 99.99% workload,second gpu temps a bit lower and high fps also...maybe i will play the new expansion packs


Thanks to all concerned
ps...using win xp..cat 10.12
