3870xt crossfire frustration !!!

[psychas]

kk i have two 3870xt in crossfire when i enable crossfire and play crysis it crashes the pc when i play cs:s it crashes less but when you get flashed screen shakes so basically the 2 games i most play i can play in crossfire.
And its first time im running two gpus so im kinda really ****** of.

whats the point of telling costumer you can crossfire and play games with better performance and etc ... that you even cant get the bloody thing running in any game...

So what should i do: i was thinking

1. take one 3870xt out smash it in peaces and send it to ati...
2. wait till it fixes it self but i doubt it ever will
3. take out two 3870xt and put mine 8800gts g92(witch is ling around in a cupboard) in keep one 3870xt in my other rig and sell other one.

How many bridges are you using? if you are using 2 try with just 1, if you get the same problem try with the other bridge.

It might be that one of your bridges are faulty.

My cards used to overheat, so I had to flash them with a better bios that actually contained proper fan control. Have you checked the temperatures?
