HIS ATI Radeon HD 5850 iCooler V Turbo 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card and MSI ATI Radeon HD 5850 Twin FrozR II 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card on crossfire. It seems it's not working quite well on crossfire. Any suggestions?
 
I5 760 @ 4 Ghz.
Gigabyte P55-USB3
Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9
Corsair GS800-PSU.

When on crossfire, its slower than 1 card. It's crossfired enabled @ GPU-z.
 
Have you got the latest drivers? The latest CAP (Catalyst Application Profiles) stuff? Is the game all patched up too?

have you run MSI Afterburner to see if both cards are running properly?

Haven't tried MSI Afterburner yet. I got TRIXX installed.

I believe this the process of installing second card.
Remove AMD Cat.
boot to safe mode
remove all AMD software with driver sweeper
boot install latest cat.
boot install other card
restart W7 install the driver on other.
reboot install crossfire bridge
install latest cap
enabled Xfire in AMD cat

Don't use driver sweeper. It could cause more problems.

What do you suggest?
No need to remove AMD softwares?
I tried installing crossfire by just:
boot install other card
boot-W7 install the driver on other card
boot- install crossfire bridge
boot- enable crossfire in AMD cat
with same result
